Yeah, sorry, I meant signing, not encrypting. I know about asymmetrical encryption. That's why I was confused by the original statement. For signing you use your private key so that others can verify your identity by using your public key for checking the signature. For encrypting data you use the public key of the receiver.

~~The original comment used the public key for signing, which is not what you want to do.~~ I now read the explanation.

But why? Public is public. People can take my public key. The can encrypt my commit, making it indistinguishable from my commit.

Isn't the idea to use your private key for encryption so that everyone can use your public key to decrypt your signature and to verify that it's you who actually did the commit, because no one else has access to the private key?

Aren't clock tattoos like such a cliché that tattoo artists role their eyes when you ask for one? Are a bunch of millennials and gen-x deemed gang members because they followed a trend?

Are you using your public ssh key for signing? Wouldn't it make more sense to use the private one as people can then verify your identity by using your public key?

I work for a kind of data provider/dashboard/planing tool for energy grid providers. There is an issue with the "sudden" rise of solar panels and heat pumps and electric cars. Our grid isn't made for this and there needs to be modernised.

That being said: Yay abundant clean energy!

Lived in Berlin for over 20 years. I will never call a Berliner a Pfannkuchen.

Please tell me what a Berliner is to you.

Switzerland already has twint and I don't see them switching to a new system. Maybe that's where it will lead to: multiple regional services. Not great, but also not a giant corporation.

What we really need are alternatives to US credit card systems.

A lot of clothes in specialized web shops like avocadostore.de are produced in the EU.
