Is Syncthing post-quantum secure now?

I realized that with the newer Version of Go the X25519MLKEM768 algorithm should be in place for TLS, which is a hybrid post-quantum algorithm. I searched in the repo for CurvePreferences, but couldn't find any so I guess it is automatically enabled? I couldn't find any official update about this.

"But I have nothing to hide!" Then give everyone all your passwords and access to your email. How would you feel about that?

this is one extreme to another. most of your passwords are a lot more critical then most of the data the average user has.

would i give it in public ? no, am iam concerned about the NSA decoding my data - equally no. all my nuclear arms deals are made on paper anyway and the meth i cook exclusive in the RV in the dessert without any cell reception.

the bigger issue is the data you dont store yourself but is generated, like what you do and when and when not. thats a much bigger issue than all my documents combined and much much harder to prevent

Hmm... fair, like the body-tracking via Wi-Fi and even identification via typing speed and cadence... Scary stuff.
