You can use Fedora KDE as well. I'd recommend it over Kubuntu since Canonical has a history of highly questionable decisions

I respectfully disagree. The punchline to me seems to be "haha current quantum factorizations are a joke", which is more or less the case especially given the extremely exaggerated headlines. This isn't to say that quantum computing isn't a threat. Perhaps they should have made that point clearer.

I believe rebase does a 3-way merge for you as well

iczero @iczero.mice.tel · 11/07/2025

Isn't a pile of patch files pretty close to maintaining a fork, squashing whatever commits are on top, and then running rebase every once in a while? You'd get the extra benefit of being able to do everything from git. You can maintain multiple patches as a set of commits too.

when I was younger I thought the subplot of Ender’s Game in which Ender’s siblings shitpost themselves into running the world was the least realistic part of the book I am coming around to the idea that it was by far the most realistic

how hard could it possibly be to extend basic politeness to open source maintainers? apparently, for some people, very hard?

Rust community coming strongly in favor of child labor in trash collection

Reddit post: Have we ever considered allowing orphans in bin crates? The main reason for not allowing them is that a dep anywhere in your tree could add a trait and break everything, to put it simply. That's a good reason to disallow them in libs, but for.

Which part of "we will fix every breakage that C causes in Rust" do you not understand? That is their promise to you. If they "disappear", as you say, just `CONFIG_RUST=n` and call it a day. All they ask in return is that you do not actively exclude them from everything.

Synology QuickConnect relies on Let's Encrypt for direct and regional wildcard certs, but the company isn't listed as an ISRG sponsor. It feels scummy to build a commercial product that depends on a nonprofit service like Let's Encrypt and not financially support it.

Perhaps you would like this slide: (from 2015, www.ens-lyon.fr/LIP/AriC/wp-...)

Current factorization records:
ECM: 83 digit factor found for 285 digit number

GNFS: 232 digits
Quantum computer: 5 digits

I assume that cryptographic primitives will eventually improve. before ECC, RSA also had larger signatures, larger keys, and was generally more computationally intensive.

iczero @iczero.mice.tel · 28/12/2024

however there is a decent chance that post-quantum signature schemes will be improved in the future to have smaller signatures.

or I mean you could just let the quantum computers forge your skeets because that might be funny

iczero @iczero.mice.tel · 28/12/2024

larger skeets mean the firehose will hose more data which could cause problems for some servers because their internet may not be fast enough to receive all skeets in real time from the firehose

120

iczero @iczero.mice.tel · 28/12/2024

cryptographic signatures are used to ensure that your skeets are in fact your skeets and not faked by someone else. longer signatures mean that your skeet data will be bigger. all skeets need to fit down the Bluesky firehose which is a continuous stream of every skeet ever.

iczero @iczero.mice.tel · 28/12/2024

post-quantum signature schemes such as the NIST PQC winner CRYSTALS-Dilithium produce signature sizes substantially larger than "traditional" signature schemes; ECDSA (not quantum secure) signatures are 64 bytes, whereas Dilithium2 signatures are 2420 bytes, or ~37.8x longer.
