Last night at about 11:30pm, I took a practice ham radio Technician test. I fell asleep twice. I guessed most answers (I know jack all about radio, slightly more about electrical engineering). I got 63%. I suspect I can study up enough in time to pass a the exam at @DEF CON ham . Thanks to That Texas Country Music Guy at DC512 for encouraging this side quest!
It's not just me, right? Post-quantum crytography aka #PQC, especially quantum-resistant cryptography, smells an awful lot like snake oil. I cannot figure out how people sell this stuff with apparent sincerity when it's clearly impossible to test in production.
Say, what's the first major-release film to mention either "the internet" or "the world wide web?" (Or, alternatively, "DNS" or "SMTP" or "TCP/IP" or other uniquely internet technology, though that seems doubtful.) And I mean mention as in, either in dialogue or printed and shown on screen in a newspaper or something. There's a kind of [annoying reddit thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/o98hkx/what_was_the_earliest_reference_to_the_internet/ ) about this that's not very helpful and is fixated on WarGames which definitely doesn't talk about the internet (all the comms in that movie are over dialup). A timestamp reference would be just great if you have it.
