Correction: Serfs are able to nominate other "citizens" for the position of Tribunal (I talk about this more on my #UpScrolled account) but due to their unique position are totally ineligible for military service.
Obviously I'm not a fan of conscription but clearly the #Roman #spqr experience shows the folly of having a large standing army 🪖 which demands long periods of service
Could (I'm not asking Should!) the Roman Empire have been saved? #SPQR Or even democratised?

...
Perhaps with the provisio that: the second sons of all citizens should serve between 3-15 years in the legions or 4-20 years in the auxiliary legions , depending on family wealth, with Citizens able to volunteer for 18 years in return for tax exemptions and non citizens 20 years in return for citizenship.
Could (I'm not asking Should!) the Roman Empire have been saved? #SPQR made the Marian Reforms necessary in the first place
Could a mix of citizen-or Resident-conscription with serviceleadstorewards work?
Say allowing citizens to forgoe taxes in return for the old auxiliary 20-25 years of services? Or is it better to retain the "citizens can join the legions, non citizens can join the auxiliaries"?

Making everyone a citizen seems laudable but it also exempted those citizens from taxation
The old system abandoned citizen conscription in favour of a volunteer based military which allowed non citizens to achieve citizenship via military service
What is ignored here is the divide between rich and poor which

#signal To add post‑quantum security, Signal introduced the Sparse Post‑Quantum Ratchet #SPQR , which runs alongside the existing #DoubleRatchet
The protocol now effectively combines three components: the symmetric ratchet, the classical DH ratchet, and the new post‑quantum ratchet (SPQR).

SPQR — наше опенсорс-решение для горизонтального масштабирования Postgres
В современных реалиях объёмы данных постоянно растут и появляются всё более жёсткие требования к производительности. Тут традиционный PostgreSQL сталкивается с фундаментальной проблемой: отсутствие нативной поддержки горизонтального масштабирования. Сегодня мы, команда платформы данных в Yandex Cloud, хотим рассказать о SPQR — нашем опенсорс‑инструменте, который который создавался как ответ на боль шардирования и эксплуатации крупных OLTP‑систем. Под катом — история о том, что стало отправной точкой для его создания, какие задачи он помогает решать, на чём основано наше решение и что помогает ему быть довольно простым в эксплуатации.

Anyone else worried about #SPQR encryption, simply because of the chosen acronym?
Someone is laughing their ass off about the fact that we don't seems concerned with encryption called #SPQR...
...users of #Signal and other messengers relying on the #SignalProtocol need not concern themselves with any of these new designs. To paraphrase a certain device maker, it just works.

:signal: Signal adds new Cryptographic Defense against Quantum Attacks.
Signal announced the introduction of Sparse Post-Quantum Ratchet [SPQR], a new cryptographic component designed to withstand quantum computing threats. SPQR will serve as an advanced mechanism that continuously updates the encryption keys used in conversations and discarding the old ones.
#signal #sparse #postquantum #ratchet #spqr #it #security #privacy #engineer #media #tech #news
![⁉️The new component guarantees forward secrecy and post-compromise security, ensuring that even in the case of key compromise or theft, future messages exchanged between parties will be safe.⁉️
In terms of cryptography, SPQR utilizes post-quantum Key-Encapsulation Mechanisms [ML-KEM] instead of elliptic-curve Diffie-Hellman, and features efficient chunking and erasure coding to handle large key sizes without bloating bandwidth. Signal has been using CRYSTALS-Kyber [a post-quantum KEM] alongside an implementation of the Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman since 2023 to protect against quantum computing attacks that threaten to break current encryption.
👾However, SPQR comes on top of the existing double ratchet system, forming what Signal calls a Triple Ratchet, formulates a hyper-secure “mixed key.”👾
The new system was designed in collaboration with PQShield, AIST [Japan] and New York University, with its technical foundation based in part on USENIX 2025 and Eurocrypt 2025 papers. The design was also formally verified using ProVerif, and the Rust implementation robustness was tested using the hax tool. Continuous verification will now be applied to all future builds, ensuring proofs are reproduced with every code change.
⚠️Signal says the rollout of SPQR on the messaging platform will be gradual, and users don’t need to take any action for the upgrade to apply apart from keeping their clients updated to the latest version.⚠️](https://files.mastodon.social/cache/media_attachments/files/115/446/434/840/414/740/original/97454797570eeb94.jpeg)
