I do not know much about ghostscript pdf conversion. But the
information you have given so far is not enough to reproduce the
issue. I see that you have already given the command you are using.
Please provide a sample input file, and sample output files. What is
the increase in size of the pdf files produced with different versions
you tried?

There's apparently an announcement on Reddit about it:

https://www.reddit.com/r/xfce/comments/9jvh2b/xfceorg_is_down_due_to_hosting_issues/


I'd done a fair bit of independent investigation, before going looking
for further discussion elsewhere, and finding this. Based on that
investigation, it seems likely that it could be DNS registration
expired, hosting provider (apparently the University of Namur, formerly
Facultes Universitaires Notre-Dame de la Paix) no longer providing, or
some combination of both.

But grub itself and its configuration can't be encrypted, so an
attacker could still compromise that code / data. IIUC, your solution
basically just implies moving some of the logic currently in the
initramfs into grub.

One solution is to run grub from removable media, and preventing
attackers from getting physical access to it ...

IMO you sign based on the e-mail you use. IMO it is confusing with multiple
machines. A key is associated with identity -> the email.
With the sub keys you can add more identities. 
Still to encrypt you need the private key. It is sufficient to update the
private key on the other machines. You usually do not copy it over internet
connection. Some people use secure key cards, other encrypted usb sticks or
md/sd whatever cards.

the public keys are uploaded to the key server after updated (for example
signed by you) and downloaded/updated on the other machines when needed.

It is up to you to decide how you handle your security. It is a sensitive
topic, so general reading and understanding of the matter is required,
before proceeding in real life.

Your original message seemed to inidicate that you wanted to both verify

I get the secret key part.  Are you saying to forget about syncing

those from a public keyserver? If so, I may be over thinking the need to
sync GnuPG between devices.  H.

I'm the one who brought that up, as an example, because someone (you?)

alternative to copying email files/folders, and that I was looking for a
similar technique for GnuPG.

So 12,000 people can be wrong :)

Just altering the word order gives more clarity to the statement.

"should be better not used" While still not entirely correct implies
less of a threat. 

"(it) better not be used (or)" - "the computer gods will frot you"

"would be better not used" may be correct depending on the rest of the
context.

Maybe an implicit threat of resulting danger needs to be implied?

Any ideas??


My first thought is that your shell login profile,


PS. I use xfce4 and lxdm.


... which is NOT how you normally log in, is turning on bash's
checkwinsize option, which causes bash to set the LINES and COLUMNS
variables upon receipt of a SIGWINCH (a signal that is sent when the
window changes size).

In the absence of that option, those variables might not be set at all,
or might be set to the wrong size, and won't be updated when the window
changes size while sitting in an idle shell.

(What an ncurses program does with this signal, I honestly do not know.)

So, just wild-ass guessing here, you might have put the necessaray
"shopt -s checkwinsize" and "export LINES COLUMNS" into ~/.profile
which is only read when you perform a shell login, and NOT when you
perform an lxdm login.


Actually it is exactly the other way around.  If LINES and COLUMNS are
set in the environment, then the ncurses library will _not_ update the
screen size upon receiving SIGWINCH, and that causes the behavior
Grzesiek observed.  This is documented in ncurses(3).

I thought nobody said "should better not be used," but sticking that quoted
phrase in a search engine produces over 12,000 hits.

Doubts now linger in my mind as to whether I haven't used up a lot of electrons
for nothing.

There's so many of them, though, I guess frugality isn't an issue (unless
Wheeler was right, and I've sent the one zipping all over the place).

Out.

As specified in the part of my article you snipped, the unique purpose
of my proposals was to eliminate your unidiomatic phraseology, not to
alter or embellish or ameliorate the nature of the message itself.

I do think you should probably add your cell phone number to the wiki so
that confused users can ring you up if they encounter difficulties. This
is being done more and more by developers these days. There's nothing
like that "personal touch," Tom, to get those recalcitrant users on
board with your software.

Good luck and have a good one.

Curt

you definitely do not want to upload your secret key anywhere. Keep your
private key secret and use a keyserver for the public keys. When you have
this setup IMAP is not an issue. and BTW no one said that you should copy
your mail folder.
