Andreas is incorrect here. A double spend _did_ happen.

Bitcoin's double-spend protection is probabilistic: after one confirmation, if the sender is attempting to double spend, the probability of success is extremely low. But it's still non-zero.

Version 4.0 is live on https://cryptpad.fr !

The release notes will be available on GitHub shortly.

SMBleed: A New Critical Vulnerability Affects Windows SMB Protocol - Cybersecurity researchers today uncover a new critical vulnerability affecting the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol that could allow attackers to leak kernel memory remotely, and when combined with a previously disclosed "wormable" bug, the flaw can be exploited to achieve remote code execution a http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheHackersNews/~3/F1ME2wIGUFg/SMBleed-smb-vulnerability.html

Surprise, surprise, Raspberry Pi 4 has been launched!

Faster CPU, dual 4k HDMI support, up to 4GB RAM, USB type C, USB3 and (finally!) no more bottlenecking the ethernet port over USB2: full gigabit speeds!

Also: same old price 😍

For a few weeks now, the #cryptpad account on mastodon has more followers than on Twitter. It's great to see the fediverse growing #gomastodon

Just discovered CryptPad via the FLOSS Weekly podcast. Basically, Google docs without privacy concerns.

CryptPad in their own words:

"CryptPad is a private-by-design alternative to popular office tools and cloud services. All the content stored on CryptPad is encrypted before being sent, which means nobody can access your data unless you give them the keys (not even us)."

It's also Free software.

Better still CryptPad is on the Fediverse:
