On the salt file debate
Not gonna pretend to "KNOW" but here's my opinion:
1) Quantum computing makes all conventional encryption / layering moot. Current quantum computers like D-wave & IBM Q may not be "pure" (I've heard that criticism) but they do not behave like conventional computers in the least. It is not out of the bounds of reason to believe that real Q has access to or interfaces with one to make posts.
2) Ghidra was on the clock yesterday. It is a toolkit for reverse engineering….and was designed with 8kun attacks in mind and in conjunction with the NSA. I'm hard pressed to imagine they (NSA) don't have the ability to back engineer an 8kun tripcode on demand.
So, unless or until there is some really overt "yeah, Q would never have posted that…" kinda stuff, I'm gonna take this most recent bit at face value.
Why?
1) 1,700 days since first post
2) Roe V Wade overturned
3) Alignment in sky called - get this: "Cosmic Queue"

Much of Q stuff has been in alignment with astronomical events, and lunar calendar. If Q was going to come back, yesterday sure would be a top pick for a return.
Chances of it being a coinky that someone just hacked the Q password and chose to post on that day…? nil (IMO)
