A Final Sorting-Out of Everything

As everyone knows, my OpenPGP key has been compromised . In this blog post, I will sort everything out: Ownership of the Free Software Chinese Site (自由软件中文网, https://freeswzhcn.codeberg.page/ ) , along with its affiliated project, the Free Software Chinese Community (自由软件中文社区, https://freeswzhcnc.codeberg.page/ ) , has been transferred to Zumfy (https://zumfy.codeberg.page/ ) . The FSF40 community meetup that I will host in Harbin will still go ahead. However, the organiser details have been updated to reflect my new identity, Rebel Zhang rebel1725@autistici.

It Is Time for a Farewell

Misfortune struck without warning – I am hesitant, but it’s time for a farewell. Summary and TL;DR My OpenPGP key (46592D6A02E9F6F2D65E9CD806F430C0B77FC2B9) and the identity tied to it (Carter Zhang) have been compromised. I have revoked my OpenPGP keypair and uploaded the revocation to the keyserver. You can import the revocation from the keyserver either by running gpg –refresh-keys 46592D6A02E9F6F2D65E9CD806F430C0B77FC2B9 on your computer or by refreshing using OpenKeychain on your phone. Since 2025-07-01T09:18:05Z, you should no longer trust this identity.

To further encourage the use of free software, end-to-end encrypted communication tools and discourage the use of unencrypted, insecure commmunication approaches, I will further limit the use of the carrier SMS/MMS. To be detailed, I will send no more than 90 carrier SMS/MMS messages per month, and no more than 45 per month per person. In order to strengthen the communication security and privacy, I suggest using Jabber .

Let Us Encrypt Our Conversations

To further encourage the use of free software, end-to-end encrypted communication tools and discourage the use of unencrypted, insecure commmunication approaches, I plan to further limit the use of the carrier SMS/MMS . In silent code where whispers roam, OMEMO guards each word we send; Megolm shields our guarded home, Where prying eyes cannot transcend. On Signal’s path, our voices ring, Sealed in ciphers strong and sure; No covert ear can chance to cling,

A Promise Unkept

After nearly two years of patient expectation, my hopes have, regrettably, come to nothing. Although I was taken aback by this outcome, in hindsight it was almost inevitable. All the sweet, radiant memories we forged back then now feel distant, for everything has since changed. I find myself yearning only for someone who shares my unwavering devotion to free software.

Updated Cryptographic Trust Policy

To further enhance the robustness of cryptographic trust between my friends and myself, I have updated my cryptographic trust policy and developed a management system to administer it more consistently and uniformly. As of today, all previously established cryptographic trust relationships are no longer valid. Everyone must re-establish cryptographic trust with me using a valid OpenPGP key. You are responsible for safeguarding your private key in a secure location, protected from any potential compromise by Mallory.
