while such algorithms definitely exist, that poo poo is pure marketing fluff

if your threat model in 2023 involves an adversary who is willing to expend quantum computer time to decrypt your poo poo, you are squarely on the mossad end of the mossad-not mossad spectrum

i agree that it is worrying too much, but the scenario where i think it has some potential to matter is if the encrypted data gets gathered/dumped somewhere, and then in 2030 suddenly you can get some quantum computing time on aws for a quarter and decrypt it after the fact.

which lands it in picking a bit oversized keys; probably a silly worry, but, w/e, it is basically free.
