    RHEL 10.2 Released with Post-Quantum SSH and Kernel
    Livepatching

    RHEL 10.2 is out with post-quantum SSH support, Kernel
    Livepatching, PostgreSQL 18, updated toolchains, and
    Flatpak desktop changes.

    Hey, PAY for it and you get the latest goodies.

    RHEL, nope, not gonna ...

    In any case this kinda fits in with several recent
    threads about security/encryption.

    So FAR, 'quantum computer' attacks are very rare, as
    are good quantum computers. But, this is CHANGING.

    I posted on some new math technique that allows
    conventional computers to kind of FAKE a quantum
    computer - though not a very big one yet. Hey,
    quantum is rules and stats ... you CAN do that
    with anything if you know how.

    Anyway, RHEL now apparently has 'quantum-resistant'
    algos included into SSH, probably SSL too. Alas, lack
    of testing, we don't know HOW "resistant" these algos
    may be. Math analysis "suggests", but we also know that
    a million little hacks CAN find creative ways around
    "impossible" obstacles. The Money - and Vlad/Xi's favor -
    make that worth it.

    Oh, Apple admitted today that there are serious security
    issues with some of its recent chips - I think I posted
    about this ... it's a CHIP problem, vulnerability in
    the branch-prediction stuff. Bullshit CAN be implanted.
