Never assume anything you do on servers you don't own are private. In fact don't even do it then, encrypt that shit.
Dang it I got rickrolled again?!
I thought you need a public key to read it or some sht, idr how pgp works
You do. That comment of mine, as is, is entirely worthless.
The sender (in this case, that would be me) needs to encrypt the message using either:
That way, the only people who can decrypt the message is a person with the private key that is paired with any of the public keys that the message was encrypted with OR literally anybody that happens to have the passphrase it was encrypted with.
I think I had encrypted that message using just my own public key, so as I said, the message is completely useless to anybody but myself.
