Terminological Note

"OpenPGP" refers to the OpenPGP protocol, in much the same way that HTML refers to the protocol that specifies how to write a web page. "GnuPG", "SequoiaPGP", "OpenPGP.js", and others are implementations of the OpenPGP protocol in the same way that Mozilla Firefox, Google Chromium, and Microsoft Edge refer to software packages that process HTML data.

How to defang system protections on macOS

How to Defang macOS System Protections

If you want to change things on the root drive of a Mac you will need to take some steps to disable the built in security of the system. Most of these steps are the same regardless if you are on Intel or Apple Silicon. If there is a difference it is noted.

Note that all of these things put a Mac into an unsupported and less secure state.

Make sure you either perform these steps in a VM or that you reset the protections after you are done poking around

Protections and Terms

(This list is not exahustive on the details of each. Check the links at the end for more info.)

How to change a cloned GNU/Linux machine's identity

How to change a cloned GNU/Linux machine's identity

You've just finished installing and configuring all those packages on your first machine. Now it's just a matter of cloning the hard drive into all the others and changing the hostname. Right?

Well, not so easy. If you wish to avoid conflicts on your network, backups and elsewhere, i.e. if you wanna end up with a unique fingerprint for each machine, you must go a few steps further.

Here follows a checklist to help you out. It's aimed at Debian and derivates (e.g. Ubuntu), though other distros won't be much different.

hostname

The old way: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts
