The risk that cryptographically-relevant quantum computers materialize within the next few years is now high enough to be dispositive, unfortunately.

I’m not gonna dig up the links since I’m sure y’all’re already tired of talking about quantum computing. I am going to insist that, while I professionally disagree with Filippo about plenty of things, I do not see any mistakes in their analysis here. Please start thinking about post-quantum cryptographic tooling today.

    I will say that, speaking as an idiot, I appreciated the information and the accessibility of many of these very technical conversations here is one of the elements of this community I appreciate. I would be very surprised if it had been meant as any kind of dig instead of explicitly clarifying a usually-unstated bit of context.
