STOP DOING QUANTUM CRYPTOANALYSIS
- DECADES of research and billions in funding, yet the largest number a ~~quantum computer~~ quantum physics experiment has ever factorized remains a terrifying 21
- The keep calling it a 'processor,' but it's actually a refrigerated probability sculpture they beg to act like it is a NAND gate for just half a microsecond -- fever dreams of the QUANTUM CULT
- The only countdown ticking towards Y2Q is researches counting the years of funding they can squeeze out of it
- Harvest now, decrypt later: because someday quantum computers will unlock the secret... that all the encrypted traffic was just web scrapers feeding AI model training
- Want to hack a database? No need to way for some Quantum Crypocalypse, just ask it politely with 'OR 1 = 1'

<weird diagram> ????

"Hello, I would like <weird formulas> to distil <weird formulas> please!"

They have played us for absolute fools

Create SBOM from Guix

Since Nov. 12th 2025, GNU Guix can be used to create a complete SBOM in cyclonedx json format for all packaged software:

guix graph guile --backend=cyclonedx-json | head ; echo ...

{
  "bomFormat": "CycloneDX",
  "specVersion": "1.6",
  "metadata": {
    "timestamp": "2025-12-29T19:24:18Z",
    "tools": {
      "components": [
        {
          "type": "operating-system",
          "name": "guix"
...

To only create an SBOM of a specific depth, use --max-depth=N:

guix graph guile --backend=cyclonedx-json | grep '"name":' | wc -l
guix graph guile --backend=cyclonedx-json --max-depth=1 | grep '"name":' | wc -l

11
10

In short:

guix graph guile -b cyclonedx-json -M 1

To create an SBOM for a non-packaged tool, create a local guix.scm file, then you can graph from that. With the example of dryads-wake:

cd /path/to/dryads-wake && \
guix graph -L . -e '(load "guix.scm")' -b cyclonedx-json | grep '"name":' | wc -l && \
# => 172
guix graph -L . -e '(load "guix.scm")' -b cyclonedx-json -M1 | grep '"name":' | wc -l
# => 13
