Why every VPN should use post-quantum encryption

And why every bleeding week IMAO gets bleeding hacked. We’re don’t have a post-quantum encryption keeper!
At the moment, a virtual private network (VPN) is a great way to protect your data from hackers. It offers sophisticated encryption that will keep your data hidden from third parties, including cyber criminals, government bodies, and advertisers.
However, not even all the best VPNs offer protection that’s future-proofed. You may not be aware of them yet, but there are already highly sophisticated quantum computers that use quantum physics to render their computations significantly more efficient than those performed by classical computers. Because of their superior processing power, these quantum computers have the ability to break encryption methods used to protect most of the data on the internet, including the algorithms used by a lot of VPNs.
There’s no need to panic just yet, as quantum computers are currently only being used for research purposes, meaning they can only be found in universities, science labs, and supercomputer centers. But once they become more widely available and powerful enough to break encryption, there will be catastrophic consequences for cyber security across the globe. This day is referred to as Q-day and experts predict it’s likely to happen in the next five years.
Wait. So today could be Q-Day? Or is it virtual Q-Day?
“Entanglement” and Q-Tips . . . sounds like we’re reverting to barber-ism.
I keep all of my important information on scratch pads, in cursive…
I keep all mine on *hard-to-find* scratch pads, in unreadable print handwriting.
Is “print handwriting” a contradiction in terms?”
They called it “print” in school, but I should’ve been a junior wiseass and piped up that it wasn’t print.
Who knew that old-fashioned Q-Tips were a valid defense against quantum entanglement?! But I gave up Q-Tips years ago because all they did was jam the wax further into the ear canal.. Today, I use the “tissue wicking method” after a shower. It sucks the wax outward onto the tissue for easy cleanup. And I have great gobs of ear wax.
There are two kinds of people. People with soft ear wax (and usually great gobs of it) and people with hard ear wax in smaller quantities. It’s said that soft wax types are susceptible to more cancers.
Is this too much information?
Wait. What was this post about? Oh, yeah. You need a post-quantum encryption keeper. Maybe you should talk Frnak into Basil, Version 2 for the time being.
But did you know that ear wax is dried sweat and people who like to smell their wax are more prone to be serial killers?
I was going to make a joke that “There is nothing I do that doesn’t make me more prone to be a serial killer,” but I figure the government AIs can’t distinguish jokes from non-jokes. So I won’t.
FYI, I sweat a lot outside and I do like the smell of a good wax. I have great gobs of ear wax. It’s a curse.
How much does it cost to operae this site?
Can we scrape together the money with a go-fund-me page.
Just sptballing here.
Once upon a time, long ago, after Harvey left, FrnakJ said that he gets about as much from ads as it costs him to renew the license.
Petee Townshend looks weird in a necktie.
