Neuigkeiten von Fefe: Er wird von den Pflegekräften zärtlich "el comandante" genannt und hat sich auf der Reha-Kirmes eine Freifahrt im Rollstuhl geschossen. Soll ich euch mitteilen 😅. Update: ich vergaß zu erwähnen, dass er im Flur dann laut "Freiheit!1!!" gerufen hat und immer noch auf die Revolution wartet. #fefe

Yesterday, I had the pleasure and privilege to give a not-so-gentle introduction into #Taler, at #cedarcrypt in Pafos, Cyprus, in front of a mixed audience full of fine students of cryptography from the American University of Beirut and experts from various fields. I talked about the why and how of #Taler, starting with the moral foundation of our work, then introducing the core protocols and the required cryptographic primitives, the challenges of anti-money-laundering, up to our recent work to make #Taler post-quantum-ready. (You can find the presentation online at https://www.kesim.org/cedarcrypt-2026 Shout-out to Elisa Pioldi from TU Eindhoven who made the helpful and amazing animations!) The questions and discussions that followed my presentation were so good! I really am proud of having sparked so much interest in #Taler - in an audience that also included Vitalik Buterin (Ethereum) and Daira-Emma Hopwood (Zcash). #cedarcrypt rocks. #GNUtaler, too.

@funz@systemli.social @erd@gei.st @correctiv_org@correctiv.social Die Schärfe kommt vom Unheil, den nachlässiger Journalismus verursacht, vor allem wenn er perfomativ in Anspruch nimmt, alles richtig zu stellen ("correctiv").

@ingo_wichmann@digitalcourage.social No, I don't think so, but might be wrong. @nadim.computer should know.

@erd@gei.st You lost me schon mit dem Link. TF? #ABUSS

@dergrobi See it this way: what you can't find also can't hurt you. Newsflash: Fishing attempts dropped by 100% overnight for all .de domains thanks to the courageous intervention by DENIC! #dnssec #dnssuc

Samson, kurz bevor er geschoren wird. (Ist ne Suzuki, ich weiß)

@nadim.computer To give them a chance I suggest three strikes: "Hummus", "Shawarma", "Arak".

@erd@gei.st Passend dazu, diese Homage an Comrade Trump. https://pluralistic.net/2026/04/20/praxis/#acceleration Quote: But, thanks to Comrade Trump, Pakistan was first in line to become the world's solar capital. The country's LNG terminal – built with Chinese Belt-and-Road money – is now a stranded asset, because no one there needs gas.
