After reading that the timeline for post-quantum cryptography is bumped closer to today I started looking into the standards and protocols that are going away and the ones that are coming. Then I started to look at the ESP32 chip: can it run post-quantum crypto?
Since there is no official PQC in the official SDK, to test that I needed to go a bit lower and find the building blocks of TLS. The conclusion: yes, it's powerful enough.
But I bumped into a separate problem: checking whether the TLS certificate is valid requires the device to know the time. How can the device know the time without TLS?
It turned out that it's a known problem: it's called the time bootstrap problem. It's about the circular requirements: secure communication needs the knowledge of time, but knowing the time needs communication when the device does not have an always-on clock.
This article is what I learned looking into the different technologies and how they shape the best practices. My conclusion is a bit anti-climatic: it's nice to use some protocols that have some security built-in, but for most cases I believe even the unencrypted, decades-old plain NTP is good enough.

Northern Territory Government Reintroduces Spit Hoods on Children Amidst Widespread Condemnation
Northern Territory government brings back spit hoods for children in youth detention, reversing an 8-year ban. Human rights groups and experts condemn the move.

The Northern Territory is the only Australian state bringing back spit hoods for children, a practice banned for nearly 8 years. This is a major reversal of policy.

Secure time synchronization with NTS
To set the correct time on computers, usually NTP (Network Time Protocol) is used. However NTP is an insecure time synchronization protocol and allows a man-in-the-middle to shift time on an NTP client. To tackle these issues, NTS (Network Time Security) was created which aims to solve these problems. In this article I show how you can configure ntpd-rs and Chrony to use NTS servers. systemd's timesyncd does not support yet NTS, but it's currently in development so hopefully this will be […]https://blog.frehi.be/2026/03/29/secure-time-synchronization-with-nts/

Third and final shipment of vitrified waste from the UK to Germany
As previously announced, the UK will be returning high level waste (HLW) in the form of vitrified residues to Germany.

And by 2070 or so, we'll know where in Germany all that stuff is being dumped. But nuclear power...
