ICBM

Still waiting to see that pasty technofascist to show up to any of his fistfights.

There’s never going to be a such thing as quantum secure. Cryptography is an arms race. All we can really do is make the maths more complicated and take longer; all attackers can do is try to reduce the time it takes.

Honestly? It really doesn’t matter that much considering the western empire basically owns the root-level chain of trust for nearly the entire internet. This is only for superpower state-level attacks, so why bother building a quantum supercomputers to crack RSA or break D-H, when you already have access to the private keys from nearly all CAs on earth? Not to mention almost no one uses anything resembling a secure OS or web browser, which is the only thing keeping your private keys secure.

Even if you’re shelling into a supersecret chinese personally-compiled openbsd VPS full of classified USDoD leaks, with your own personally managed 4096bit RSA keys with no other chain-of-trust to worry about, kicking down you door is going to be a hell of a lot cheaper and less complicated than building multi-trillion dollar gigantic secret underground quantum computers, that can, at best, break RSA in weeks instead of millennia. If that’s the case, then you better have strong disk encryption and nerves of steel. Ultimately breaking at-rest schemes and aes/(x)fish/serpent ciphers is more important.

If 4096bit RSA is somehow broken in our lifetimes, we can probably replace it with ed25519 or something more complicated and the arms race continues.

A large state breaking RSA is more-or-less a vanity project with regard to the implications.

No, sorry, that’s just marketing bullshit for honeypots. There are no cosmic deep magic herbs and spices here. Just open encryption standards. But… Mullvad is based in Sweden, which is a member of the EU, NATO and 14-Eyes, however, which automatically makes the country (and every capitalist enterprise in it) part of the largest US-controlled mass surveillance programs on earth. It’s capitalism renting you the illusion of privacy while also purposefully destroying it.

Not quite; westerners believe photographs of mars are real.

I sure hope Brown Hitler beats Orange Hitler.

What a vibrant fucking democracy you amerikkkans sure have over there. Whatever meaningless, bootlicking bourgeois electoralism you choose, let’s hope you don’t get everyone else on earth killed as a result of your endless and unapologetic imperialism, invasions, coups, proxy wars and many genocides.

Is it guilt that keeps you from reading your own history and understanding that all this mass murder that amerikkka has been inflicting on the world for hundreds of years is not driven by the individual incoherent puppets your political system forces you to choose from, but from the very nature of your capitalist empire? Fascism is the product of capitalism in crisis. It’s not a thing you can vote against, since you have absolutely no meaningful input in the decisions of the worlds most violent military empire (and you know it). What kind of political system creates a revolving door for endless marches of psychotic war criminals and even puts a few of them on the menu every few years? Obviously not a system that opposes fascism.

I think the Whitehouse is currently on Code Wilson.

Iran punched through Toilet Paper Dome and David Sling twice now. The second time, Iran dropped a (probably hypersonic) missile right down in Mossad HQ’s front yard, which is being actively covered up and lied about to maintain the illusion of invincibility. Israel is also lying about damage at Nevatim. Any serious attack from Iran can easily hit all strategic targets in Israel. Iran has shown an uncanny amount of patience and it should be clear to Isnt’real that’s coming to an end. They know they’re vulnerable and Bibi’s hands are shaking out of fear.

I understand that after WWII the CIA took control of the Banderites as a terrorist force to use against the Soviet civilians and armed forces; how NATO was cobbled together from the Nazi diaspora; how Canada imported Banderites to gut labor organization and all that. There’s probably a lot more awful stuff I don’t know, too.

So yeah, in the larger picture. But I was mainly referring to the time since the Maidan coup (which, of course, even then goes directly back to the previous color revolution…)

If this kind of messaging is not some semblance of regret, then what else might it be?

My other take is that it might be a pretext for a western invasion of Ukraine under the guise of “stopping the far-right and restoring democracy”, which, of course, would just be an excuse for the US to block an end to the conflict and create a new tripwire for nuclear war. The Kiev regime would probably also be relieved to get an easy out like that. Given how depraved and psychotic the US and NATO are it wouldn’t surprise me. In which case, I hope they’re just showing a little regret.

“The far right in Ukraine is growing. The right wing is a danger to democracy.”

Can we just get a straightforward “We regret arming neonazis to the teeth for the last ten years and cheering them on to invade Russia” already? This soft-landing walkback bullshit is so annoying.
