Yeah. If you know the commands, they're (fairly) straightforward. My
personal struggle is understanding the key concepts. Keys, subkeys?, what
is the output showing me, this is a fingerprint, this isn't. Stuff like
that.

I'm capable of learning things. But what strikes me is that I've dived into
this a couple of times before, and then a year or two will pass where I
don't need to do anything with gpg... and when I have to use it again it's
all gone. When that happens it's an indicator to me that the concepts are
not clear. Not clear *enough*, anyway.
