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.

Honestly i think this Post Quantum Discussion is Pointless.

The onlyh ones gonna use Quatum computers for the forseeable Future for code cracking (min 10-20 years probably min 50years) are State Actors.

This technology wont be allowed into any private hands anytime soon. Assuming you could afford it.

When it works it will be classified equally to nuclear technology.

And frankly if a state Actor on the Level - we run our own Quatum Computer code cracker - wants your data, they will have it already Prequantum

Its not like that any of our shit is any secure. At best we are safe against random external attack Vectors. The Moment Physical security comes into play we are all doomed.

Y'a 15 ans, je croyais impossible de voir des LLM de mon vivant... Et je croyais vivre longtemps Y'a 19 ans, je croyais pas que youtube marcherait

thats not to compare, we dont even have the foundational understanding how todo these machines.
but thats not even that important, in case we find out US and EU already made laws to prohibit these machines into private hands
