I'm looking for someone who may have had a similar problem and can tell me how they resolved it. Specifically, I ordered a WD Red 500GB SSD for 70 euros from amazon.de on January 5, 2026. The first delivery date was between February and March 9, but the product wasn't delivered. By then, the price had already jumped to 150 euros. I called customer service and spoke to their chat support, who told me the new delivery date is April 22 — but that doesn't show in the app. The app only shows 'order received,' and I'm afraid they'll miss this second deadline as well. Can I do anything without canceling the order, given that the price is now 250 euros?

That wasn't the article. It was in some lesser-known magazine (maybe even a blog) and it wasn't about ISIS or the terrorists we know today. It was written specifically about the guy who created the program and his connection to drug cartels, if I remember correctly.

    To explain, I read about this many years ago. It's about a journalist who tried to find out what was happening with TrueCrypt, and it turned out it was apparently connected to serious criminals who were killing people, etc. The story is actually really interesting, and I'd love to find the original piece. I have nothing against TrueCrypt, and in fact, I used it back then and still use it now (VeraCrypt).

    Does anyone here run a small family XMPP (Prosody) server with iPhone clients? How did you set up APNs and push notifications — did you self‑host a push proxy (fpush/momak/etc.) or use an external service? Any tips or config snippets appreciated.
