My thread model is actually low, but my Linux Notebook was recently hacked and I don't trust my Windows 10 PC. I also had a couple of days ago a "nice" thing happen, that when sending a messsage in German from my VPS it arrived with other text content in Cyrillic at Gmail, in real time, so to speak. Cool, eh? Regardless if Tails or Linux etc. I no longer do encryption / decription with online computers. Seriously I think when using crypto tools in cli mode then users should also try to do that offline and "celebrate" a bit the encryption / decription procedure, unless of course they have a business running with plenty of messages per day. > > >> You can't script a GUI, but you can GUI a CLI - and there is no shortage > >> of decent GUI interfaces for GnuPG. > > > > I am aware of that, but I do have (Golang) tools which work as cli > > tools and they can be used with an extra written GUI program, if > > someone likes to do so.

Sorry, there was no complaining intended from my side.
