Yay! Glad to hear you checked this off the list. If you want to share any details about how you ended using this mini CD setup – it’d be fun to hear any details.

Yay! Glad that after 4+ years this is still helpful ;)

James –

Thanks for your comment! It looks like you’re right.

I would update the instructions per your suggestion, but looking at the content on keys.niif.hu, I’m embarrassed to see that Anon from 2 years ago was right – content on keys.niif.hu is garbage! Apparently it’s ASCII art of the Hungarian saying, “de nagy az isten allatkertje”!?! I very much feel like I’m missing some larger context here. These are not they droids you’re looking for. But, oh, well, moving on!

To fix this, we need to look at the key servers on the GitHub page, unfortunately most of which are also not working (no DNS entry or no http server on the IP returned). The only one I found to be working is https://mirror.cyberbits.eu/sks/dump/. I’ve updated the post to reflect these latest updates.

Thanks so much for your note! It’s great to keep this content current. Though, I feel like the relevancy of PGP these days is becoming less and less :(

/var/lib/sks/dump # mv keys.niif.hu/keydump/*pgp .
mv: cannot stat ‘keys.niif.hu/keydump/*pgp’: No such file or directory

Instead, the glob should presumably include the “.xz” extension, also it probably could have a “.” before “pgp”, so something like this:

/var/lib/sks/dump # mv keys.niif.hu/keydump/*.pgp.xz .

Tried it. Even encased in an outside weather case, the mic is incredibly effective.
