Privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Why Signal’s post-quantum makeover is an amazing engineering achievement - Ars Technica
28·2 months agoThe uncertainty has created something of an existential dilemma: Should network architects spend the billions of dollars required to wean themselves off quantum-vulnerable algorithms now, or should they prioritize their limited security budgets fighting more immediate threats such as ransomware and espionage attacks?
Yes. Governments should sue companies that get hacked back to the Stone Age.
Then, those companies will suddenly find it in their best interest financially to spend the money required to harden their tech stacks rather than throwing untold mountains of money into the AI firepit.

Linux@programming.dev•GNU libunistring-1.4 released
8·3 months agoIt’s weird when you post a link with no explanation whatsoever about what the software is:
Text files are nowadays usually encoded in Unicode, and may consist of very different scripts – from Latin letters to Chinese Hanzi –, with many kinds of special characters – accents, right-to-left writing marks, hyphens, Roman numbers, and much more. But the POSIX platform APIs for text do not contain adequate functions for dealing with particular properties of many Unicode characters. In fact, the POSIX APIs for text have several assumptions at their base which don’t hold for Unicode text. This library provides functions for manipulating Unicode strings and for manipulating C strings according to the Unicode standard.
Details
This library consists of the following parts: <unistr.h> elementary string functions <uniconv.h> conversion from/to legacy > encodings <unistdio.h> formatted output to > strings <uniname.h> character names <unictype.h> character classification and properties <uniwidth.h> string width when using nonproportional fonts <uniwbrk.h> word breaks <unilbrk.h> line breaking algorithm <uninorm.h> normalization (composition and decomposition) <unicase.h> case folding <uniregex.h> regular expressions (not yet implemented)
Who needs libunistring?
libunistring is for you if your application involves non-trivial text processing, such as upper/lower case conversions, line breaking, operations on words, or more advanced analysis of text. Text provided by the user can, in general, contain characters of all kinds of scripts. The text processing functions provided by this library handle all scripts and all languages.
libunistring is for you if your application already uses the ISO C / POSIX <ctype.h>, <wctype.h> functions and the text it operates on is provided by the user and can be in any language.
libunistring is also for you if your application uses Unicode strings as internal in-memory representation.
I wrote a systemd service using Nix that won’t even let me start my torrent client unless the vpn is enabled. If I disable it, torrents immediately stop.
