Refactored #075: “Self-Hosted Post-Quantum Ham”

On this episode of Refactored…

  • Frank shares some satire. In response Chris offers a ham-fisted explanation of Poe’s Law and then goes on an old man rant about bad writing in the form of LinkedIn bait (as if it really matters).
  • The guys agree on their… caution… toward the social cesspits with respect to kids, because the negative effects are multitude.
  • Chris brings up NISTs new quantum-resistant algorithms for encryption and signatures, and then indicates some grim consequences about what practical quantum computing will actually mean for individuals and governments.
  • Phrasing! Qubit - the quantum computing equivalent of a bit.
  • Frank found Cloaked.app, a neat service to pool randomized data among sites and users.
  • The guys talk about Frigate.video - in related news, court docs prove Amazon is sharing Ring data.
  • … and much more!
