When did you find bitcoin?

My wife likes bitcoin. But she seems afraid of interacting on nostr and the like. She seems to think that bitcoiners come off as being better than and scary to interact with.

We run a few RIPE Atlas probes and anchors - why you should too?

RIPE Atlas is extremely useful service to measure and monitor network events globally. As per their own statistics at https://atlas.ripe.net/statistics/ they cover about 5% of all allocated ASNs (not only RIPE region) and 89% of countries.

This service provides an unprecedented real time view of how the Internet is working. This data is valuable for researchers worldwide and accessible for anyone. It can help you to troubleshoot own network, look at connectivity or improve the Internet (if you are an ISP).

Participation is volunteer, however all operators of both probe or anchor get "credits". They are used for running your own custom measurements and can be shared.

More details on how it works: https://www.ripe.net/analyse/internet-measurements/ripe-atlas/how-ripe-atlas-works/

To be honest, I have expected this percentage to be much higher.

Have you ever seen your sshd logs being clean without crowdsec or fail2ban while listening on 22/tcp with public IPv4?

At Skhron, all our customers benefit from our TCP tarpit system that detects global portscan:
