How worried should ordinary people be about Q-Day practically?

[WhatUQuant]

The gap between what is being said publicly and what is actually happening is interesting.

Real world implications are harder to find than the technical detail.

I am especially interested in what people would avoid as well as what they recommend.

Has anyone here actually tried it?

[John]

Fair enough. You are not wrong.

Good stuff.

NIST finalising the standards is the moment things need to accelerate from.

[RustyHawk]

Fair point, that is a better way of looking at it. I had been looking at it the wrong way until I read this thread.

That is genuinely useful.

The post-quantum migration timeline is the part I keep coming back to.

[Kev94]

Not sure about that bit tbh. The thing that keeps me going back is usually the atmosphere more than the mechanics.

Worth a try if you get the chance.

Harvest now decrypt later is the threat people are not taking seriously enough.

That lines up with what I found. Good stuff.

The companies quietly working on PQC hardware are more interesting than the ones making headlines.

That is the approach I always take now. Take your time with it and it will come out well.

[Drifter]

Not gonna lie, I had not thought of it that way. That helps a lot actually.

Still think the same, yeah. The best sides find ways to win ugly and that matters more than the style of play.

Cannot wait for the game to settle it.

Most people are oblivious to what is ahead.

[RayOfLight]

This seem to be like night and day. 
I can foresee what is going to be used for . meanwhile people just carry on their day completely oblivious to what's to come

That is recency bias talking if I am honest. Fitness levels at this stage of the season separate the top sides from the rest.

Ask me again in six weeks.

[Slay40]

Yeah I can see that now. That helps a lot actually.
