Trump’s tariffs on Mexican goods could reduce #tequila imports by $810 million, not long before Cinco de Mayo. Even vodka, mostly exempt from tariffs, may be indirectly affected due to increased overall import costs, according to an economist: buff.ly/pNI6Mj7


Q-Day — the day someone builds a quantum computer that can crack the most widely used forms of encryption — could happen in the next decade according to cybersecurity experts. That means everything could become vulnerable, for everyone. @WIRED has the story. #Cybersecurity #QDay #Tech #Technology #DataPrivacy flip.it/stmSHG
in reply to SpaceLifeForm

@SpaceLifeForm Sorry but ECC is not safe from quantum attacks, either. We need to switch all public key cryptography to new quantum resistant algorithms, ML-DSA (formerly known as dilithium), and ML-KEM (fka CRYSTALS-KYBER).
in reply to John Deters

@targetdrone
True. But I prefer ECC over RSA at this time, in the hope that it buys us more time.

Keyspace vs attack complexity.

RSA has diminishing returns because there are fewer primes as one expands key size.

It just not make sense to continue using RSA these days when ECC has better performance, and better security per bit.

1995 was such a historically turbulent year. There is so much that happened. Seriously, there's been several books written about it. I like what @ricmac has keyed on here.

why is *anyone* being sent to foreign prisons where they will be abused.

Feels like this doesn't need a wrapper of 'but they had approved paperwork!'

Trump and his gang need to be issued ICC arrest warrants for crimes against humanity. The US will never punish him because the Supreme Court gave him full immunity for presidential acts.

You know those comics about an astronaut woman nasa had to delete, likely because of the overgrown cheeto?
You can actually still download them.

I downloaded them for preservation purpose, in case they eventually are removed and become harder to find.

I have a question: In Signal, imagine that a new device gets added to your phone as a Linked Device. What sort of notification would you receive on your primary device (phone)? Are there photos of the current workflow here? This article npr.org/2025/03/25/nx-s1-53398… asserts that recently Signal added UI to prevent user getting phished and unknowingly adding a linked device. What did they add?

This memo is very relevant and all, but it doesn't matter how good the end-to-end encryption is if in the end the user chooses to connect to the wrong end.

I am exploring Jami.net, seems a working p2p alternative. You can operate multiple accounts. Accounts are as anonymous as you want them to be. And you can use them ad hoc.

It’ll be on their backups. Which they will conveniently misplace. And they will be conveniently found by someone who they certainly didn’t have any contact with!
