The OpenSSH team just rolled out their latest release and did the one thing your local blue-haired DevSecOps goblin doesn't have the guts to do: quietly address our impending post-apocalyptic quantum clown world. Operative word: quietly.
There was no press tour. No YouTube ad. Just a cold patch note and a pat on the head. The most widely used secure communication tool on Earth just re-wired itself for a world none of us are ready for. Version 10.0 is here, and with it comes default post-quantum key exchange using something called mlkem768x25519-sha256 (which sounds like a Russian sleep experiment mixed with protein powder).
Translation: As my Gen-Z malware fuzz testers would say, "Old encryption is finna be low-key DEAD frfr."

Quantum computers are sorta real. They kinda exist. And somewhere in a sealed Faraday bunker under Tel Aviv, or Silicon Valley, or the Hague, there’s a quantum wormhole computer reading your SSH sessions like a BuzzFeed listicle.
OpenSSH is treating this like a white-knuckled survival move before the sky turns neon and starts raining GitHub repos labeled "classified." Lest we not watch our hashes fold like cheap origami under the pressure of quantum processing.
Journalists are calling it “a nice improvement.”
Nice improvement? Brother, this is the first whisper of crypto-collapse. The kind of quiet move you make when you know Q-Day isn’t coming... it’s already in the rear-view.
