4-panel comic. (1) [Person 1 approaches Person 2 (with ponytail), sitting at desk with a laptop.] PERSON 1: Do you have an extension cord with prongs at both ends? Can I borrow it? PERSON 2: *NO!!!* (2) [Person 2 throwing up her hands.] PERSON 2: No one should *EVER* buy or make those! They start fires, destroy equipment, and risk electrocuting you or grid workers! PERSON 1: OK, OK, I get it. (3) PERSON 1: Can I just borrow a regular cord, then? PERSON 2: Sure. Here. [Person 2 hands cord to Person 1.] PERSON 1: The prongs aren’t important.

PERSON 2: Wait, what are you– (4) PERSON 1: I need it to help hold up the top half of the reflector for this plutonium core that I’m– PERSON 2: *AAAAAAAA!!!!* [Person 2 screams with hands on head as Person 1 walks away.]

It's on apt. It's literally on Cargo. It's on DockerHub with ads. It's literally on nuget. You can probably find it on snap. Dude it's on portage. It's a Homebrew original. It's on pacman. You can download it on nixpkgs. You can go to pkgsrc and watch it. Log onto the Windows Store right now.

this is also true in engineering

the google sre book is like das kapital

you're supposed to pretend to have read them, and make smart-sounding references that don't require you to have actually read either

if, however, it comes to light that you have actually read either, then you are now a Huge Nerd and Massively Uncool

thankfully i ended up with Different Brainworms

so glad i didn't end up with Parser Brainworms

ok so im gonna have to be the one to ask

istg people don't want solutions to the problems they're fleeing, because solutions have trade-offs

Key exchange is a different story: collect-now-decrypt-later attacks might already be relevant today, and the answer is clearly ML-KEM-768 (with a hybrid if available).

Move key exchange to PQC, not signatures.

Unless it takes you > 10 years to roll a key, in which case: SLH-DSA.

NIST released a draft of a non-binding document (IR 8547 ipd) saying they plan to disallow non-PQC in 2035.

2035 is ten years from now, there's no need to rush anything right now.

csrc.nist.gov/Projects/pqc... is still running and large ecosystems are still figuring out what/how to deploy.

posted on my mastodon instance earlier, but i should probably do so here as well:
