Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    •

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    What if i just sign the entire pdf file with GPG? That is not valid?

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (2 children)

    If it was valid, do you really think people would be talking about it being a problem here? Please use your head a little.

    Also, two entitely different meanings of the word signing being used here. Signing as in signing a bill vs. Cryptographic signing. Adobe has some weird "halfway" thing that's more than painting the sig on the image, but isn't gpg.

    Hooray for proprietary shit becoming accepted for legal use! Yuck.

    Imagine real signed file being denied and one with painted signature accepted

    When I worked with a lot of legal documents, we just used DocuSign mostly. Have you attempted that on Linux? Not sure what it's like these days, also curious if it's because it's a web application if it works the same.

    Well, it uses existing PKI/CAs (ie, same as your browser), which I'm not sure GPG supports? I might be wrong.

    You could certainly use GPG, but it's not what others will be looking for. Depends on your use case, I guess.
