Still waiting to see that pasty technofascist to show up to any of his fistfights.

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?

Didn't NGE have a feature-length porn sequel that was probably animated by the same studio? Having met a few IRL I'm not going to stick my neck out for weebs that make memes of sexually suggestive anime characters.

Lemmygrad being a remote corner of the internet and not one that many people are friendly to, I think it's in out best interests to avoid hosting this kind of stuff full stop. The rest of the internet is a giant goon cave; we don't need to be too.

Loli is shorthand for Lolita, which specifically implies sexual abuse of children and usually(?) refers to cartoons. Sexualizing a cartoon 14 year old is definitely that.

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.

 

I'm unable to update my display name or change my theme. The matrix room link also seems to be dead. Not sure the best way to contact an admin. Thanks!

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.
