@thomas_klopf I need to write one containing my logical proof that "Alien" is simply a remake of "Beowulf".

@thomas_klopf @gurple Anything jamming Gilgamesh & Enkidu into an absurd setting would be of interest to me: an "Odd Couple" reboot, another "Starsky & Hutch" remake, "The Good, The Bad, The Heroic, and The Monstrous", "Dr Gilgamesh and Mr Enkidu", whatever. But again, as fortold by the prophets, it's DNS.

@thomas_klopf @gurple Assuming that Gilgamesh/Enkidu slash fiction has existed since the earliest cuneiform versions pressed into clay tablets, but that really isn't my cup of fermented barley.

@thomas_klopf @gurple Ah! Now, by threatening violence and degradation unto my browser, I can read an excellent analysis, unprotected by TLS. Yes, by considering the first four chapters of the saga (in release order) I do see a clear analogy! (Although I still suspect, of course, DNS)

I’m a terrible webmaster with amateurish and uncaring techniques. It’s IPv6-only and I’ve yet to figure out how to get Let’s Encrypt happily working on.

@gurple @thomas_klopf Here's a page that also functions as my own notes for how to rebuild things when liboqs goes to a new major release:
https://cromwell-intl.com/open-source/nginx-openssl-quantum-safe/
Secure Web Service with Nginx, OpenSSL, and Quantum-Safe Cryptography

How to configure Nginx and OpenSSL with the Open Quantum Safe liboqs library, compiling pieces if needed.

@gurple @thomas_klopf As for getting the keys from Let's Encrypt, this page is in an otherwise outdated sequence. When I clean things up and move this page out of that sequence, I'll set up redirects so this URL continues to function:

@gurple @thomas_klopf If you like details and even math, here's how the quantum-safe lattice problem works:
https://cromwell-intl.com/cybersecurity/lattice-problem/
Lattice Problems and Quantum-Safe Cryptography

Quantum-safe cryptography needs a new "trapdoor problem", a new class of math problems that are enormously difficult to reverse.
