A little personal post I should propably pin:

Don't sent me any links/invites to , / or whatever sites/services.

I WILL IGNORE THEM!

If you want to contact me, you'll find all the info you want on my profile.

To protect against , all messages/eMails get automatically filtered as junk on server-side.

Pretty shure @cryptoparty and other accounts still have slides and available.

I'm currently on the go, so I have none of those available...

@eatyourglory no, but that's due to and them being shitty to devs.
There are / /MIME implementations for tho...
