Still waiting to see that pasty technofascist to show up to any of his fistfights.
Idk. You need like half the voters voting for you to become President and there can only be one President.
And that's not even accounting for a bourgeois "democracy", in which no challenge to the ruling class interests would ever be tolerated. Loooong history on that to look at. Ask Allende about moderate social revolution through elections. Ask France about strategic electoralism. 80% of the US could vote for Claudia and she would still never take office, one way or the other.
Revolutions against the bourgeois class are won from the end of a gun and by no other means, otherwise we're submitting to a state monopoly on violence designed to be used legally against us.
Okay, It looks like my preferred display name was just too long. I was trying to set it to "InterContinental Ballistic Marxist" and it kept failing without any error notification. Is it possible to increase the max alias length on the server to accommodate that, or is it hard-coded?
Yes. If I only change the display name it will very briefly look like it's doing some kind of backend update, then the field will get cleared back to nothing. If I also change the theme and update the display name, the name it will persist after the "save" process and the theme will appear to applied, but all changes are lost if I refresh or navigate to a different page. The display name is never applied to any posts and never changes in the account actions menu in the upper-right.
Pretty safe predictions here, so I'll take a wild swing: Isn'treal shoves Iran into full-blown war ahead of schedule and elections are "delayed".
500000 more warcrimes and Israel will get a polite verbal warning.
There's never going to be a such thing as quantum secure. Cryptography is an arms race. All we can really do is make the maths more complicated and take longer; all attackers can do is try to reduce the time it takes.
Honestly? It really doesn't matter that much considering the western empire basically owns the root-level chain of trust for nearly the entire internet. This is only for superpower state-level attacks, so why bother building a quantum supercomputers to crack RSA or break D-H, when you already have access to the private keys from nearly all CAs on earth? Not to mention almost no one uses anything resembling a secure OS or web browser, which is the only thing keeping your private keys secure.
Even if you're shelling into a supersecret chinese personally-compiled openbsd VPS full of classified USDoD leaks, with your own personally managed 4096bit RSA keys with no other chain-of-trust to worry about, kicking down you door is going to be a hell of a lot cheaper and less complicated than building multi-trillion dollar gigantic secret underground quantum computers, that can, at best, break RSA in weeks instead of millennia. If that's the case, then you better have strong disk encryption and nerves of steel. Ultimately breaking at-rest schemes and aes/(x)fish/serpent ciphers is more important.
If 4096bit RSA is somehow broken in our lifetimes, we can probably replace it with ed25519 or something more complicated and the arms race continues.
A large state breaking RSA is more-or-less a vanity project with regard to the implications.
No, sorry, that's just marketing bullshit for honeypots. There are no cosmic deep magic herbs and spices here. Just open encryption standards. But... Mullvad is based in Sweden, which is a member of the EU, NATO and 14-Eyes, however, which automatically makes the country (and every capitalist enterprise in it) part of the largest US-controlled mass surveillance programs on earth. It's capitalism renting you the illusion of privacy while also purposefully destroying it.
