Henry de Valence is the person mentioned in that quote as having moved in next door to Appelbaum, as documented by djb:

No, the original claim was by me. And I gave you a plausible story. You just didn’t want to hear it.

Quoting https://archive.fo/3QWJF#selection-801.0-805.168
“Als Appelbaum im September 2015 an der Technischen Universität Eindhoven ein Doktorandenprogramm beginnt, ist auch sie interessiert. Für Appelbaum ist die Universitätsstelle in Eindhoven auch eine existentielle Stütze, falls er, nach den Vorwürfen im März in Valencia, seine Arbeit beim Tor-Projekt nicht fortsetzen kann. Lovecruft versucht schließlich, bei den selben Professoren wie Appelbaum angenommen zu werden. Am Ende wird ihr das nicht gelingen. Ein anderer Mensch wird jedoch das Büro beziehen, das direkt neben Appelbaums liegt. Es ist der Lebenspartner von Isis Agora Lovecruft oder einer ihrer Lebenspartner, das ist nicht klar. Dieser Mann wird später Arbeiten von Appelbaum bewerten, deren Ergebnisse für dessen Vorankommen in der Universität wichtig sind. Im Januar 2016, kurz nachdem sie an der Universität in Eindhoven abgelehnt wird, beteiligt sich Isis Agora Lovecruft daran, Geschichten zu sammeln über Jacob Appelbaum.”

I enjoyed the @tptacek cameo. I suspect tptacek didn’t.

The purpose of a system is what it does.

The article has at least a dozen side by side highlighted examples of plagiarism. The title is irrelevant.

Yes, the plagiarism has been amply demonstrated.

And just a few years later, Apple shipped an iTunes 2 installer that could wipe your external hard drives.

Yes, that’s the deflect part of deflect and minimize.

Because both the article and your continued arguments about ML-KEM demonstrates that in confirmed cases of NSA sabotage and in hypothetical cases of NSA sabotage, your job is to deflect, minimize, and avoid any responsibility being doled out. I hope you’re well paid for this job.
When we find out that the ML-KEM math was thoroughly broken by NSA for years, your response will be “gosh, nobody could have known that. It’s best not to hold anyone responsible though, certainly not the NIST employees whose names are all over the evidence…”

Ok, let me be clear: the NIST is a proxy organization for the NSA. The declassified internal history of the NSA makes it clear that they were subverting the NIST back when they were still called the National Bureau of Standards.
Just because NIST engages in some wholesome activities doesn’t mean that their core purpose isn’t to do the bidding of the NSA.

I was making the point that if you have subverted the NIST to do your bidding in what appears to be a neutral way, obviously you’re going to have some feel-good projects in your portfolio. Otherwise, the folks that the Soviets called “useful idiots” wouldn’t have anything to point to to exonerate them.
