“Well, we raided his mom’s house and confiscated all his cobbled-together e-waste.”
“And!?”
“His drives were encrypted. Apparently he ‘applied PQC patches to dm-crypt himself’, whatever that means. All I know is that it made the guys from NSA scream. There was nothing we could do.”
“So we’ve got nothing?”
“Oh no. He happily gave us both the keyfile and the passphrase.”
“So…?”
“No warez, no CSA, no political manifestos or illicit recipes. Not even tax evasion - it’s not like he has an income. Just… copyleft source code as far as the eye could see.”
Only Asymetric encryption, like PGP has Problems with Quantum Computers. Symmetric, like AES, used by dm-crypt is not affected by Quantum Computers. It doesn’t rely on multiplied big prime numbers or stuff like that.

The NSA dude screamed in ecstasy because someone finally used his dm-crypt patches.
copyleft source code is a telltale sign of communism, thus anon can be associated with Big terrorist like the Antifa.

open source collaborative software is anarchy. Book him
I lol’d at this. But seriously, privacy is a fundamental human right. You don’t need to have something to hide to assert your right of privacy.
Yeah the government doesn’t understand we don’t want you to be sociopaths with the excuse of our safety.

Is it a proved theorem that quantum computers dont have an advantage for AES, or is it just unkown?
FOSS gang rise up!
