The Great Kiwi Migration (or how to stay in touch in exile) - Make a GPG or OpenSSL key so that you can identify yourself on other sites.

[Overly Serious]

So if the great Pharoah Joshua Moontep is indeed about to drive us all into exile, there's going to be some wandering in the wilderness before we find a Promised Land (yes, you are Jewish in this analogy). Many of us will lose contact but it would be nice if there were some way for us to identify ourselves to each other in the future. Not so easy on an site deliberately anonymous. But there's a thing called public-private key encryption. You make a pair of keys, one public and one private, share the public key or a way to identify it, and then if someone starts a KiwiFarms 2.0, a TOR group or whatever the kids are using these days, there's a way to say "Hey - I was User McUserface on KF" and back it up. Who knows if that might be important for some of us?

I'd like to anyway. So here is my GPG fingerprint:
9485 4202 97D1 EBEB 853A
0F4C B5C0 F8F5 B715 7424

I think that's sufficient by itself but here is the public key as well:

There's a promised archive of the farms so I'm guessing if we get a thread going for anyone who wants it, this thread will be included and the keys preserved.

https://gnupg.org/download/index.html <-- scroll down to the "Binaries" section to get the software. I can write up a more detailed how to if there's interest. But basically it will create a key for you and you can post the fingerprint here. You'll want to export the key to somewhere safe so you always have a copy. Or use a different tool - whatever.

I can't be the only one who has felt like this is one of the last places on the Internet we can have an honest conversation and laugh at people. Who knows - maybe the Kiwi will prove to be a Phoenix after all (a speddy one).

 

[Exsosym]

Useless if you aren't going to keep your private key on an air gapped machine with good firmware and sign/encrypt everything from there.

 

[The Fool]

What do I do if I don't want to stay in touch with any of you assholes?

 

[Yotsubaaa]

then if someone starts a KiwiFarms 2.0, a TOR group or whatever the kids are using these days, there's a way to say "Hey - I was User McUserface on KF" and back it up.

But that ruins my whole plan to pretend I'm AnOminous's new account on KF2.0.

 

[Toolbox]

What do I do if I don't want to stay in touch with any of you assholes?

We are anomalous.
Forgive and forget.
Expecto Patronum.

 

[Neko GF]

Most of us are going to disappear into the sunset and never be heard of again.

 

[Leonard Helplessness]

No one needs a private/public key combination to know how autistic you are. Good luck wherever you choose to go!

 

[Exorbital Columnations]

What do I do if I don't want to stay in touch with any of you assholes?

I'll miss you too, you prick.

 

[Kosher Dill]

Isn't it embarrassing enough to be a regular here anyway? Who'd want to pretend to be another one?

 

[The Fool]

Isn't it embarrassing enough to be a regular here anyway? Who'd want to pretend to be another one?

This is literally our analogue to being a tripfag.

 

[Pissmaster]

What do I do if I don't want to stay in touch with any of you assholes?

We always tend to find one another. We're gonna be together forever, in one form or another.

 

[Yotsubaaa]

This is literally our analogue to being a tripfag.

But tripfags are gay as hell. Almost as gay as Kiwi Farmers.

 

[The Last Stand]

Bruh, just use Discord or email.

 

[Pissmaster]

on the last day just everyone post your selfies and a link to your facebook page and i'll friend all of you and we'll discuss Sports and The Weather

 

[Yotsubaaa]

Bruh, just use Discord or email.

But Discord is gay as hell. Almost as gay as Kiwi Farmers.

 

[Overly Serious]

That's actually kind of sweet.

 

[Pixy]

But tripfags are gay as hell. Almost as gay as Kiwi Farmers.

So that means we'd be less-gay or more-gay if we did that?

>Implying I want to go out of my way to interact with any of you degenerates

 

[northstar747]

Bruh, just use Discord or email.

we can cordinate mail drops and print zines,

 

[The Real SVP]

Yeah, no. I consider the farms an anonymous forum, despite everybody using pseudonyms, and think that any successor would have to be the same, in this regard, to protect us and our sanity. There is no point in reusing identities. We'll recognize each other, anyway.
