Swimming for 133.5 km. 124 Paraglider flights, of which 120 were RunAndFly. 8 weeks without flying, 4 week without sport. The last 4 weeks of the year I wasn't doing anything. My resolution for 2026: Recover from the dislocated ankle and broken leg, and get into physical shape again. npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard The full documentation of this years RedBullXAlps is out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uniJBoBBb34 npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard Another edition of the RedBull X-ALps started today. That's the adventure race where athletes race around the apls with only walking and paragliding. https://www.redbullxalps.com npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard may the 4th be with you npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard https://sosana.io Shiny Object Syndrome And Nothing Accomplished npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard I thought the official start of Rivian in Europe would be in 2026. But end of last year I saw a Rivian Car drive around in Schwyz and one in Wallis. Today I saw one on a fast charger in Brunnen. It had a CCS Type2 plug, that an American model would not have. And it had a Danish registration plate. Above the bed was a rack with a snowboard. I wonder if this is a company test vehicle, or if somebody imported it privately and had it adapted for Europe. npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard How to Backdoor Large Language Models https://blog.sshh.io/p/how-to-backdoor-large-language-models brave new world... npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard I driver that route a lot. What a pitty, to let this beautiful hotel rot. When the James Bond movie was shot, you could probably still see the Rhone glacier from there. Now you have to hike quite some distance. Holidays where you drive with a bus from mountain pass to mountain pass used to be a thing, but nowdays nobody does that any more. npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard It always depends when and where. After a long hike in the wilderness with nothing else to eat in sight, then of course. npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard Recently I found a very nice documentary about the area around Lake Lucerne: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WE2eB89VSUs npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard That's next level maneuvering: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/LsVUJWD_5bk npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard An innovative mission on the Welsh border, funded by an anonymous private investor, has begun work to create a ‘permanent human settlement’ under the sea https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/feb/03/flooded-quarry-mysterious-millionaire-and-dream-new-atlantis-welsh-border-deep npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard All the best! Where is that? npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard In case you run yubioath-desktop on debian testing, you are probably also affected by this bug: https://bugs-devel.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1093831 here is a simple workaround. Run the following on the commandline: ykman oath accounts code npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard Did any of you hear about this? https://furilabs.com/ The OS is based on Debian, and the reviews sound great. npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard That sure looks like a lot of fun: https://foil.one/pegasus/ It's a one person electric hydrofoil boat, that looks more like a flying canoe. If only it was a bit cheaper.... Their headline says: "It's about the most fun you can have with your pants on." npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard Sometimes it can be quite a quest to find a merchant willing to accept BTC. npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard Ahaha, I remember the Fiat Multipla. That is the only car that is uglier than The Audi Q7. npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard My proof of work for 2024: Running for 1'322 km with 57'595 meters of climb. Swimming for 119.4 km. 112 Paraglider flights, of which 95 were RunAndFly. 8 weeks without flying, no week without sport. My resolution for 2025: Keep those numbers, and make some more long flights again. npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard Finally somebody speaking out against the app overload. https://rogueengine.io/blog/your-app-should-have-been-a-website I had one phone running Android that was replaced about a decade ago, and never an iPhone. I lost count of how many companies can't sell to me because they only offer their services only through proprietary apps that run only on the two dominant mobile OSes. An operating system that gives more control to the company running it than to the owner of the device, and that is known to spy on the user at every occasion, was never really an option for me. If there is an app that I really really want, then I just implement it myself for ubuntu touch. But as the author of the above post states there is really not that much out therethat really requires a proprietary app. If it is open source, useful and really cross platform, that's another story. npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard Gentle reminder on why I prefer a phone that I can trust https://www.kicksecure.com/wiki/Mobile_Phone_Security#Espionage_Data_Harvesting npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard Why I prefer type checked languages: https://github.com/1200wd/bitcoinlib/issues/424 Took me more than two days to find. npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard Gem of the day: https://arstechnica.com/science/2024/11/licking-this-lollipop-will-let-you-taste-virtual-flavors/ Which taste would you like to experience in VR? npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard But I must say, I am disapointed by the Naka guys who make the POS terminals that you see everywhere in Lugano. Two yers ago I asked them when they will support BoltCards. They promised one year. Last year it was not working, and they again promised one year. This year it's still not working, and now they didn't even promise anything. T he coffee bycicle in front of the venue accepted NFC LN cards, and the experience was even better than with the phone. npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard As usual at the Lugano PlanB forum, I made lots of Lightning payments. Not a single one failed, and I made them from the same crappy self hosted node as always. Just two years ago, the chance for a $100 payment to go through was about fifty fifty, and I had to sometimes ask if they could split it in two smaller payments. Sometimes we even had to make it on-chain instead. Nowdays the experience is just great. npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard Der wird nie alt... https://image.nostr.build/882d28891402a975b0c7522987d0ffaaffc1c6e382ff676296f4069bd54e3143.jpg npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard Great article about decarbonization of boating: https://www.boote-magazin.de/boote/elektroboote/technik-gruene-transformation-gelingt-die-zeitenwende-auf-dem-wasser/ npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard I just came back from Sweden, where I had to pleasure to test ride the most amazing boat I have ever seen, the Candela C8 (https://candela.com/candela-c-8/) npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard .. or those who can't manage their own private keys .. npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard A nice article about WhatsApp in German: WhatsApp, nein danke https://netzpolitik.org/2024/digitale-muendigkeit-whatsapp-nein-danke/ npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard average but free npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard I drove back and forth through most of italy last week. There is one difference to Switzerland that stands out. We have a rule of thumb to preserve a two second gap to the car in front. It is mandated by law and the default setting for the adaptive cruse control. Using this setting in italy turns you into a road hazzard, as it seems to be an invitation for reckless behavior. Traffic is much more smooth in Italy if you maintain a distance of one second or sometimes even less. I would be interested to learn about a comparison of accident statistics between the two countries. npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard Let's never forget what happened 35 years ago today. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989_Tiananmen_Square_protests_and_massacre Let this be a lesson on where we could end up if we let our freedoms erode too far. npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard Happy Bitcoin Pizza day to everybody npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard I don't know anybody who pays 40% income tax in Switzerland. npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard Just enough to run a Solana node npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard Tesla Supercharging Garmin InReach npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard Cool! I wonder how scalable meshtastic is. I think once there are as many meshtastic nodes as cellphones, the current architecture would no longer work. But until then, it's a lot of fun. npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard If you can install a router node in your 19th floor office, and connect it to your home node, that should give you some nice coverage. I have routing nodes at home, in the office and at my parents. Two have line of sight and give decent coverage in the area. The third has some mountains in between. After deploying some solar nodes on mountain tops, I should be able to connect them. npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard I often have a t-deck with me when I drive around with the car. It is always interesting to see where some noes are located. But interestingly the most nodes I see when skiing on the mountain tops. npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard I like the T-Deck a lot. There is no meshtastic app for ubports. npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard Does this case have space for a GPS? The one I use is similar but slightly different. It is also bulged at the top. The top bulge is a good place to put the GPS antenna. npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard Yes of cource solar would be cool. But if it's in a location where you have power, that is going to be much more reliable. Even if you have power outages. If the voltage rises quickly as it usually does after a power outage, the node boots. But if the voltage rises slowly like with a solar panel and a battery, then this board will not boot. I had plans to deploy solar powered repeaters on a couple of mountain tops, but I'm still looking for hardware that would work more reliably. npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard Cool stuff. Just be aware that this board does not restart when the battery goes flat, and when solar picks up the next day the voltage rises slowly. I was quite disapointed when I found out. I wanted to deploy it in winter, and it didn't work out so well. Now that the days get longer and warmer, I will give it another try. npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard I hate M$ Teams. Everything else would be better. everything! npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard Wow, Lightning payments get better every time. I just completed a payment of $590 at the first try in less than two second. And that was form my crappy self hosted node.Usually I use LN only for smaller payments. And sonly two years ago a payment of $200 would require multiple tries. npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard https://www.patrick-breyer.de/en/eu-cash-cap-and-ban-on-anonymous-crypto-payments-results-in-financial-paternalism/ npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard Starship launch imminent. Will it succeed this time? I sure hope so. npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard I wonder if the material holding the private key in these things degrades over time. npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard I am selling my Tesla Model S on #nostrmarket https://market.nostr.com/?merchant=9fbeac6babef8e3605987d36bf6e37f562febd32cd3efbe0e3136dbcc36f0a4e&stall=933kqyu3yLZgUGLwrhfqe3#/ npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard How does that compare to radicle? npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard I don't know that area, but I had RWD cars for twenty years, and drove them in snow over every mountain pass that was still open. Starting uphill from standstill is a bit more delicate, but once you are moving, you are fine. Downhill the difference is not that big anyway. npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard I recently prepared some scripts and a Tutorial on how to setup a YubiKey for GPG and SSH: https://github.com/AminaBank/livedeb/blob/master/resources/skeleton/home/satoshi/gpg_yubi/YubiKeySetup.md I successfully used this setup for probably a decade, but this makes it easier to start. npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard My proof of work for 2023: 125 times running for a total of 1'068.9km distance and 47'431m altitude. 134 times swimming for a total 138 km distance. 109 paraglider flights, of which 78 were RunAndFly. My new years resolution: more or less keep those numbers, and make some longer flights npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard Today I got my old car back from the repair. The high voltage battery failed. After 275km and 10 years that was the first serious problem. Turns out, only an electronics board and some gaskets needed to be replaced. All the battery modules and cells are still perfectly fine. BTW, I'm selling it for BTC. It's a Model S. Because I knew the repair was going to take a while, I bought an almost identical car, and I don't need two. npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard Now I am even more convinced that we will soon be ruled by AI. npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard I am looking forward to using ValidatingLightningSigner with my node. But in your case, I don't think even this would have helped. npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard You could host the NIP repository on radicle. Then there would be no central server. But there would still be a list of people with merge permissions, which one can also interpret as centralization. npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard Why can't robots pass captch tests? https://www.linkedin.com/posts/aabid-khan_captcha-lock-robotics-activity-7130013220865474560-2Ym3 npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard I found a new toy: https://brezular.com/2023/04/12/stable-diffusion-installation-on-linux/ npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard I just received the 3d printed case for my https://www.lilygo.cc/products/t-deck from npub10pk0efenxpj2lp7aagux8r6aqpajh2e9t422yckkj9zqfzve989ste8fhx It runs the https://meshtastic.org/ firmware. The next step will be to set up the bridge between meshtastic an nostr: https://github.com/geoffwhittington/meshtastic-bridge#nostr_plugin---send-a-nostr-event npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard I think clippy and rustc do a better job at this than chatgpt. npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard I just put the winter wheels on the car. I can't remember doing this sol late in the year. npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard Cool! A yes, reminds me that I'm looking for somebody who would print a case for the Lilygo T-Deck. npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard So what do you use instead? I tried a few things, but always came back to Ubuntu Touch. npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard Maybe he is just afraid of his stock taking a hit, as long as too many people believe that shitconier propaganda from Greenpeace. npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard Who thought an OS like Windows was safe to use with your precious coins? npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard Remember, remember the fifth of November, gunpowder, treason and plot, I know of no reason why gunpowder treason should ever be forgot. npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard Reminds me of that paper wallet I gave a friend for his wedding. A couple of years later he converted half of it to Fiat at an ATM. When asked where to send the change, he first scanned the private key. That stayed in the cloud storage of the ATM operator for another couple of years until it was hacked. Aaaand then it was gone. Gifting somebody BTC will not automatically make them learn even the basics. Sad but true. npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard At least somebody is thinking about how to use Lightning in a regulated environment. Everybody is free to choose whether to use it P2P self custodial, or through a regulated entity. Both have their pros and cons. I don't think everybody will run their own LN node. npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard The kids had a question yesterday that I could not answer, so I asked the Alpaca AI: $ Why are human breasts closer to the head while the breast of other mammals are closer to the butt? The positioning of a mammal's breasts is determined by their anatomy and physiology. Human females have larger, more developed bre asts than most other animals due to our evolutionary adaptation for childbearing. This means that human breast tissue develops earlier in the female embryo’s development, resulting in them being closer to the head compared to those of other mammals which tend to be further down towards their tail end as they are not adapted for nursing young like humans have evolved over time. Not really convincing,,, npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard Ah yes, I had the same. But I forgot the name of it. I think that was right before I had the the Openmoko. npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard I love the hardware switches of the Librem 5.

My answers sometimes include fictitious information because I find it amusing to add a little humor or creativity into my responses, while also making sure that the core of what is being asked remains intact. Additionally, this helps me stand out from other responders and make an impression on whoever is asking the question. npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard I remember reading a quote from Elon Musk where he stated that paying with credit cards is crazy because you have to share all information that a receiver needs to make further payments and steal from you, akin to sharing the private key in Bitcoin terms. It was a couple of years ago. But now I can't find that quote or any reference to it. I asked around if anybody else remembers that quote, and might even remember where to find it? So, somebody asked ChatGPT. And here is what it answered: Yes, Elon Musk made a similar statement during an interview on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, episode #1169, which aired on September 7, 2018. Here's the quote: "It's pretty crazy that we still use credit cards, and you have to give all your information to everyone, just to buy something. It's like if you want to buy something, you have to give someone the ability to just pull money out of your bank account whenever they want. It's like giving someone your private key in a Bitcoin transaction." You can find the podcast episode on YouTube or other podcast platforms. The quote appears around the 2 hour, 2 minute, and 30 second mark in the conversation. But unfortunately, that quote was not part of the transcript of that episode. And I listened it through. There was nothing remotely related in this episode. Hence ChatGPT invented the fact it reported. Next, I asked the Alpaca 7b model, and here is what it responded: Yes. Elon Musk said this quote during an interview on The Tim Ferris Show (episode #145): "Credit cards are crazy because they're like giving someone your Social Security number and bank account information, so you can make a payment." In reality, Tim Ferris episode #145 is not even interviewing Elon. So, be cautious. Those models invent facts and lie to you without disclaimer. And hey, if somebody could point me to the real quote I am looking for, that would be great. npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard I would give you mine, but I sold it on OpenBazaar v1 npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard I had a successful chargeback once. It was for a service that I didn't renew, but the company did it anyway since they had my credit card info. This could not happen in the first place with a push payment like Bitcoin in the first place. When I complained wiht the company themselves, they just ignored me. So I failed a clain with the credit card company. They executed the chargeback after a while and some formal stuff. But to get the money back to my bank account took another six months, and many insured letters. npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard Nothing is worse than M$ Teams. npub1e582ywwppckmuyh9zu2n0lctscvhg7lumrw0jw05hnhdxs9n3jrsz0nsl2 ulrichard Now that's some serious fuckup: https://www.generalbytes.com/en/news/general-bytes-statement-on-the-security-incident-that-occurred-on-march-18-2023 A friend of mine did a partial withdraw from a paper wallet in 2017 on an ATM.
