That's a "great" idea considering the recent legal developments in the EU, which OpenPGP, as bad as it is, doesn't suffer from. It would be great if the author updated his advice into something more future-proof.

Saw it, not impressed, GnuPG has a lot of more features than signing and file encryption.

And there are lots of tools for file encryption anyways. I have a bash function using openssh, sometimes I use croc (also uses PAKE), etc.

I need an alternative to "gpg --encrypt --armor --recipient <foo>". :)
