Niall in Raglan :laserkiwi:<p>Not sure I like the openness of ParkRun's data. Without a login you can get a lot of info about a particular runner. Thieves can figure out when you're likely to be out and grab your stuff. Insurers &amp; bureaucrats can see how fit you really are. Your age is given away to the nearest 5 years.

*_jayropeWhat's your preferred method to send sensible documents via unencrypted email, but otherwise protected/encrypted? This is macos-specific, no Microsoft products in use here, not using Apple Mail, have PGP, but receiver doesn't.<br><br>Protecting a document or .zip from it with a good password doesn't seem enough.<br>And sending such docs via Wetransfer or such also seems weird.<br><br>Thanks for any help in advance.<br>#<a class="" href="https://hub.kliklak.net/search?tag=datasec" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">datasec</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.kliklak.net/search?tag=privacy" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">privacy</a> • sent from #<a class="" href="https://hub.kliklak.net/search?tag=Hubzilla" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Hubzilla</a> at #<a class="" href="https://hub.kliklak.net/search?tag=Fediverse" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Fediverse</a>. • sent from #Hubzilla at #Fediverse.
