[Tolkem]

Hi everyone! Hope you're all having a nice life!

Just bumped into this while checking my feed https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Fedora-35-Yescrypt-Yes
An excerpt:

The Fedora Engineering and Steering Committee has said "yes" to using Yescrypt for hashing shadow passwords with this distribution's next release. Using Yescrypt in place of SHA256/SHA512 should lead to greater security for new user accounts.
