Assuming it's a shared domain, then by querying for the sjors@ TXT record I'm revealing that (to e.g. Google if doing dns over http).

Whereas with https I'm only revealing the domain at the dns level. But then the server knows exactly what I asked for.

Indeed, your domain registrar can always rug you by pointing a record to their own server and issuing a fresh https certificate.

Meanwhile DNSSEC is easier to verify, nostr:npub185h9z5yxn8uc7retm0n6gkm88358lejzparxms5kmy9epr236k2qcswrdp wrote some Rust code for it, unlike https which only browsers can.

Privacy downside in is having to fetch the TXT record with the proof somehow, e.g. with DNS-over-HTTP. But you could have relays share the records.

Good advice. Did not follow. nostr:note14naqahygqp7yvelkjzhspu06ptpxex7spvckeplgapyf6kazz4wq45j739

The poor guy in the picture is not a banker apparently, but otherwise it seems historically correct.

If this was Twitter you'd be cancelled by all Catalans about the "(Spain)" part of your screenshot :-)

Privacy of the nuttee is an interesting consideration. Though revealing that information is useful for a web of trust for mints.

Having the nutter pre-swap makes sense, though you shouldn't look a gifted horse in the mouth.

Interesting spin: "Thanks to a culture of responsible disclosure, Bitcoin developers have managed to keep their major coding mistakes quiet."

(in reality they just forgot to set a calendar reminder to disclose the bug once it became responsible to do so)

Did you?

The neighborhood around it is still work in progress. Directly next to the main train station used to be giant parking lots and exhibition stations, which will be replaced with apartments over the next decade or so - depending on real estate bubbles since this stuff is expensive.

#Utrecht joining the trees-on-tall-buildings bandwagon. Contruction is almost finished. Although I'm a bit skeptical, they did think through some of the practicalities. It can handle Dutch wind, it has a water retention system, there's cranes installed to lift replacement trees, specially trained (presumably expensive) gardeners will abseil down the building to maintain it.

Sats to whom? nostr:note16wrtmvn79er8x3dc3tx97dqxrkc93jlz83e7vt5mkn0dmdlksgvsdpe84x

Yup, his non-Dutch nationality is used against him to declare a flight risk by definition.

But recently they've another other Russian national go, in full knowledge they were FSB / GRU. And that guy fled, because that's standard procedure - even when they're married.

This is infuriating. He voluntarily showed up for his own sentencing, after not fleeing for many months of wearing an ankle bracelet. Yet the prosecutor just keeps calling him a flight-risk without any evidence. And Dutch judges unfortunately don't give one flying fuck about habeas corpus.
