To contact me, email me at:

Encryption

That is the fingerprint of my GPG key pair:

2E0F FB60 7FEF 11D0 FB45 4DDC E979 E52A 7036 7A88

To import my GPG key to your keyring run:

$ sudo apt-get install curl # install curl 
$ curl -sf https://yctct.com/_pubkey.txt | gpg --import # download and import key to your keyring

If you don’t have a GPG key, and want to get one, run:

$ sudo apt-get install gpg # download GnuPG
$ gpg --full-generate-key # start the dialogue interface to generate a key pair

Then follow instructions from your email client (the app you use to send email) to set up PGP.

Plain text

I prefer receiving emails in plain text (not HTML).

You can find instructions on how to choose to write plain text email with your email client there: https://useplaintext.email/#other-clients.

Email subjects

I prefer to receive multiple emails with each a subject that matches the content of the email, rather than one large email discussing multiple threads.

Posting style

I prefer the bottom-posting convention, i.e. replies go below, at the bottom of the thread. Most email clients force users into following the top-posting convention.

What is top-posting?¹

A3: Please.
Q3: Should I avoid top posting [...]?

A2: Because, by reversing the order of a 
    conversation, it leaves the reader without 
    much context, and makes them read a message 
    in an unnatural order.
Q2: Why is top posting irritating?

A1: It is the practice of putting your reply to 
    a message before the quoted message, instead 
    of after the (trimmed) message.
Q1: What is top posting?

You can use an email client that supports bottom-posting: https://useplaintext.email/#other-clients. As of 2023, Apple Mail, Outlook, and the webapps of Gmail and Protonmail do not support bottom-posting.
