I have very nice friends. I am very lucky.

Regular PSA reminder:

While GnuPG 2.5.x implements hybrid PQC encryption based on ML-KEM, just like https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-openpgp-pqc/, GnuPG's implementation is entirely incompatible with the IETF-specified format, which all other libraries are implementing.
Both serialization and the KEM combiners differ.

The bottom line is that anyone who wants to use vendor-agnostic PQC with OpenPGP should *avoid GnuPG's PQC key formats*.

This is all exceedingly unfortunate and weird, and frankly, a total disgrace.

Post-Quantum Cryptography in OpenPGP

This document defines a post-quantum public key algorithm extension for the OpenPGP protocol, extending RFC9580. Given the generally assumed threat of a cryptographically relevant quantum computer, this extension provides a basis for long-term secure OpenPGP signatures and ciphertexts. Specifically, it defines composite public key encryption based on ML-KEM (formerly CRYSTALS-Kyber), composite public key signatures based on ML-DSA (formerly CRYSTALS-Dilithium), both in combination with elliptic curve cryptography, and SLH-DSA (formerly SPHINCS+) as a standalone public key signature scheme.

IETF Datatracker

I automatically like and favorite every single photograph friends post to commemorate first days of school, Halloween costumes, and graduations. It's automatic joy.

I was not prepared for the emotions getting a text and snapshot from the pet hospital that Edie made it through her last treatment.

You can bet I sent this photo to friends & fam through texts, and now I'm sharing it here.

My brain has been ruined by Tipper Gore. Just spent 10 seconds trying to work out why my database had a US Parental Advisory rating then realised PG17 is Postgres 17....

That smug face when you've got hold of the only replacement UPS battery in the country for your Schneider APC UPS. Sure, could have gone aftermarket, but only a fool would do that in the home lab core. Mad respect to BDC Services Sydney for dealing with Schneider direct for me! Now all I have to do is schedule the downtime because some loon put the UPS in a really dumb orientation because homelab is lazylab.
@hipsterelectron haha reading your bio, bloke I know wrote a Pidgin plugin for Signal and got blocked by Moxie. Good times 😁
