My little cabin for the night as we zoom from Graz to Berlin.

I reported an insecure DKIM key to Deutsche Telekom / T-Systems. They first asked me to further explain things (not sure why 'Here's your DKIM private key' needs more explanation, but whatever...). Then they told me it's out of scope for their bugbounty.

I guess then there's really no reason not to tell you: They have a 384 bit RSA DKIM key configured at: dkim._domainkey.t-systems.nl

384 bit RSA is... how shall I put it? I think 512 bit is the lowest RSA key size that was ever really used. 384 bit RSA is crackable in a few hours on a modern PC (using cado-nfs). The private key is:

‘My life has become a rollercoaster’: Francesca Albanese on death threats, danger and dread after accusing Israel of genocide

When the UN special rapporteur published her report Anatomy of a Genocide in March 2024, she was lionised by some and demonised by the Trump government. She describes what happened next

The Guardian
Another Deutsche Bahn long-distance trip, another 30+ minute delay, another missed connection that will lead to at least a two-hour delay. Trying to make the environmentally conscientious decisions really biting my ass here.

Scientists have confirmed a new mahogany species in Zanzibar, but only 27 trees remain.

Found along a beach on Pemba Island, the critically endangered species faces threats from storms and illegal logging.

Conservationists are now racing to raise seedlings to save the species from extinction.
