+I rediscovered [IndieAuth](https://indieweb.org/IndieAuth) and wanted to try it finally.
+
+As authentication method I decided to use [my gpg key](/gpg), because it's public anyway and something interesting and new to me (I actually never signed anything on the console before).
+
+It took a little try and error before I found the following solution for signing the key:
+
+`gpg --clearsign --default-key name@example.tld gpgmessage.txt`
+
+It's not perfect; it requires to put the message that needs to be signed in a file and puts the signed message in a new file with an `.asc` ending. It would be much nicer if it would allow to do both directly on the console.
