minisign VS aha

There are alternatives, minisign and signify.

You don't have to attach identities to public and private keys. If all you need it for is signing, then check out minisign.

If you need signatures, minisign is a similar hard-to-misuse program.

In your case, use a tool such as https://jedisct1.github.io/minisign/ to do signing/verification. GPG is another choice which is very common. It will produce a "signature" which can be embedded alongside your posts verifying that the text of the post was endorsed by someone bearing the given public key.

Claiming it's not ancient because Linux desktop distributions still use it for signing packages is a very odd argument. Most Cryptography experts (note: I'm not talking about programmers, IT professionals or people who know a thing or two about cryptography, I mean actual cryptographers) would agree that we should start using something like signify or minisign instead of the bloated mess that is GPG for signing package repositories.

There is nice tool called `aha` that converts ANSI color codes to HTML colors. See https://github.com/theZiz/aha

Or ./linpeas.sh -q | tee linpeas.txt and then transfer linpeas.txt back to your machine and use something like Ansi HTML Adapter (apt install aha) or ansi2html which will generate HTML file for that output. You can then paste that HTML markup into your notes app if it supports HTML (Obsidian and Joplin do).
