I mean we'll see about that. Quantum computing's been ten years away since the 90s.

Huh? PQ crypto has nothing to do with passwords, it's about crypto algorithm choices. You will still have passwords (unless passkeys with niggercattle enforcement win, but that's an entirely separate issue), but they will unlock a Kyber key instead of an ECC one. Or ideally a Kyber+ECC key, but NSA is hard at work trying to stop that and it's deeeefinitely not a NOBUS.

Most companies will have migrated to some type of MFA in the future. Also, password cracking gets faster, yes, but not infinitely faster, and it still costs immense resources to do so, and will do as well in 10 years. You can create a 100 word passphrase on your password manager of choice and be reasonably insulated from all this. What is more concerning is that current "encrypted communications" that get stored in their encrypted state for perpetuity will be crackable in the future.

Good news! More Potteringware!
This time he's working on Trusted Computing for Linux.

Could you enlighten me on what a NOBUS is? Basically is the NSA trying to put another backdoor in?

This is already solved by HEADS / Measured Boot, or (((Secure Boot))) if you are goycattle. As usual Poettering is out here reinventing the wheel in such a way that makes its use infinitely more contrived, controlled and annoying.

Could Pottering just stop writing code at all? His ideas can be summed up as trying to port Windows Server to Linux, which doesn't work (maybe except for SystemD itself). That would not be bad if not that Windows Server is an operating system designed to run on servers, while Linux is designed to run on almost anything from servers, through desktops to toothbrushes.
He is going to invent Registry Hives any day now.
SystemD is already written it works for a few cases and is a royal pain in the ass for all others, there is no need to add more antifeatures to it.

You're late, GNOME (Red Hat) already gave us Gconf and dconf. It really wouldn't surprise me if he managed to integrate them into sysd somehow, D-Bus is already in there after all.

Sad, I use bazzite as it works on my handheld that came with windows.
I tried getting HHD to function on arch and I couldn't get the config to work at the time so I switched to Bazzite.

You say this but it's not like software was really all that much better before tech jobs started getting canned, nobody actually needs 10000 Java Script """Engineers""" who barely work all day.
The reality was this was always going to happen and the retards running companies who thought it was a good idea to hire all these retards now are doing something else retarded and will eventually pivot away from the current plan into something else but I really doubt we'll ever go back to hiring every single retard possible again, at least for a long while. If you want to blame anyone blame the retards who enable the cancerous culture in tech of sucking corporate dick and larping as someone who does their job while making excuses to not actually do anything instead of actually doing something for the hours they're hired to work. Maybe if we're lucky some day this industry won't be full of useless faggots.

I disagree, because while it is a nascent technology, people can buy products with quantum computing solutions right now that weren't available years ago, performing functions that's never been commercially delivered before, reliably enough to be marketable commercially. That's not ten years away, it's now. IBM and A(mazon)WS offer QC solutions, is that not here and now?

This has been true since 2011's D-Wave One, which kinda underscores the point that with all these commercial offerings, where's the meaningful application? But I mean you look at IBM's timeline and they're looking to achieve "fault tolerance" about four or five years out now because the systems are so unreliable.
I mean who knows when the breakthrough application will hit, but the big thing to watch will be the cryptobros. When QC can trivialize the encryptions of various coins, that's gonna have a noticeable market impact, to put it lightly.

Did I say that? No, nofuckingwhere did I say anything remotely close to that. All I am saying is the dude is off his rocker, I know because I have seen him before and after his transformation. The dude is not well and needs help.

It's hard to comment about the state of the art in 2026 with a focus on the D-Wave, methods for manufacturing that model could be called more 'artisanal' as opposed to the immense research that has been leveraged in scaling 'up' different assembly methods for the elements of the 'processors', successfully designing scalable implementations of this technology are a major component to unlocking increased performance. Unlocking greater performance requires designs that shift away more from D-Wave and towards newer assembly processes able to more easily make ever larger elements at greater scales and power than DWaves designers could dream about.
I look at it like a argument that if transistors from the 60s are roughly equivalent in some way to miniaturized ones from the 80s that somehow there's been no real progress, (its not one that you've ever made to be fair) but I would argue its emblematic of the difference between where we are at today vs 2011. Scaling is a very important step towards increased performance quantum computing that leads to stuff like a 'Q-day'.
Well fuck, I suppose that's my big autistic tard-gument, that it's closer than we realize but if the definition is originally 'Q-day' level of proficiency, shucks you're right, that lofty goal is out of reach. 'Always 10 years away' indeed.
But for my standard of tardguing here, there really is an awful lot of 'useful' quantum computing that we can do now which we hadn't been able to do in 2011. For me that kind of long 'talked-about' but 'never quite here' computing already being here is super exciting to me because its easily witnessed year-over-year the increase in power and sophistication.
I am a massive fag for Cold War history and I think some of the bigger shocks might also be when governments are capable of breaking 'unbreakable' cryptography. At the end of the CW, it became a open secret that a ludicrous amount of intercepted encrypted signals, binary computer data, number's station recordings, coded diplomatic cables, OTP'd spy messages had been meticulously saved and archived for future signals intelligence work. That corpus of data/archive has increased by several orders of magnitude since the US PATRIOT act contained provisions for telecoms to allow the US government to tap and record potentially sensitive encrypted data straight out of the server rooms.
Makes me immensely curious about what few secrets will 'slip' into the public's awareness over time. Can you imagine some of the stuff they must have but don't even know?
