Zebra 4.5.3 and 5.0.0: Emergency Soft Fork and NU6.2 Activation

We have recently released Zebra 4.5.3 and Zebra 5.0.0. These two releases work together to address a critical bug in the Orchard Action circuit: 4.5.3 implemented an emergency soft fork that temporarily disabled Orchard actions while the fix was being prepared, and 5.0.0 activated NU6.2, which re-enables Orchard using the corrected circuit.

Stop Turning Private Facebook Groups Public

There is a trend on Facebook that drives me absolutely insane, and it seems to happen over and over again. A group starts out private. People join it because it is private. The privacy is literally part of the appeal. The group grows. The community develops. People become comfortable posting there. They share opinions, stories, frustrations, hobbies, interests, and sometimes personal experiences that they would never throw onto a fully public page. Then one day, out of nowhere, the admins […]

Die meisten denken, sie hinterlassen im Netz ein paar Likes und Kommentare.
Aber schon wenn wir scrollen, wird bereits ein digitales Profil gebaut – präzise und oft unsichtbar. 🕵️‍♂️
