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.

Ok next time you should really not do the "lucky 10000" bit, it comes off as very condescending especially if the person you're talking to already knows the thing you're telling them.
