More often than not pgp.mit.edu search timesout. What service do people use to lookup the PGP key for a given email?

@loic hopefully /dev/null.

they are all full of bad entries.

@loic

% grep key ~/.gnup/dirmngr.conf
keyserver hkp://pool.skskeyservers.net

@bremner Indeed

gpg2 --keyserver hkp://p80.pool.sks-keyservers.net:80 --search some@one.org

works fine. Why bother using a web interface.

Thanks!

@loic You can also ask the author to publish the key somewhere you know it's him
(his blog, his mastodon bio, ....)

works well
