malsanton··on US Attorney Announces $3.36B Cryptocurrency Seizure in Connection with Silk Road
Opposite experience here! Requested $100, got back $60 with two of them folded over on the corners. $100 debited from bank account, filed a complaint with the bank. The temporary refunded the money, did an investigation, then said that the ATM actually settled at the correct number, and took the money back from me. Not cool

malsanton··on Forgetting a Child in a Car Is a Horrifying Mistake. Is It a Crime? (2009)
I drove a rental recently that had a “check back seat” message and a chime when you turned off the car and it detected something in the back seat. I seemed to quickly learn to ignore the chime as it becomes the noise the car makes every time you turn it off. I would be surprised if they had any effect.
malsanton··on Bitwarden_rs: Unofficial Bitwarden compatible server written in Rust
I love this project, but something has always bothered me about it. For something as critical as your entire set of passwords, aren’t you essentially trusting this person you’ve never met to not just take all of them when you use the server?

For example, one day a malicious maintainer could flip a switch that simply updates the docker image to send thousands of peoples’ entire vault somewhere and then disappear, no?
