It seems the domain fritz.box has been suspended. March 5 was the first time this message got captured on archive.org[1]:
The Domain Name you have entered is not available. It has been taken down as a result of dispute resolution proceedings pursuant to the Uniform Rapid Suspension System (URS).
The fritz.box name servers also point to URS[2] name servers:

Quoting[1] from Homebrew on Github:
>> Looks like that Homebrew users (both macOS and Linux, both Intel and ARM) are unlikely affected?
> Correct. Though we do not appear to be affected, this revert was done out of an abundance of caution.

> reusing private keys is an enormous vulnerability.
As long as the private key is stored/handled safely and RSA/ECC is not broken, it is not vulnerable.
I do agree that key rotation is better/recommended practice.
> a single leaked private key means your entire site is compromised
The leak is the actual vulnerability. As long as the leak is still there and you are not aware of the compromised private key, a fresh new private key will probably leak again.
However, the chances of leaking may be greater if a private key has to be used in multiple locations.

> That's why countries changed it, because they realized their economies were more valuable that their gold stash
Then it is interesting that, with gold being less valuable nowdays than fiat money, central banks (or countries) are still the largest buyers of gold.

Same here in the Netherlands, somewhere between 1998-1999 using KPN Telecom. I was in high school and convinced my parents to upgrade from single-line PSTN to dual-line ISDN, so we could call and surf the internet at the same time. At the start of 1999, because of the rapid increase in phone and internet traffic, the national call tariffs had been reduced a lot[1]. Tariffs were even cheaper in the afternoon and during the weekend.
For normal internet browsing the single ISDN connection (64 kbps) was enough. Then later in 1999, Napster[2] launched and I was hooked! This made me use bundling ISDN channels quite a lot. Because of the cheaper tariffs, weekends where great because I enabled the bundling around midnight until early in the morning, so my parents wouldn't notice. :-)
I was on ISDN until 2002, when ADSL was available here and we could be online 24/7 for a fixed price. I do remember my ISP (XS4ALL) still had a fair-use-policy for downloading, which they removed a few years later.

Isn't that almost always the logical consequence once you understand how Bitcoin works and you believe it can actually work as a safe haven investment?
Those who believe it can not work are most probably not invested. Those who believe it can work are most probably invested.

This is exactly what makes Bitcoin a fantastic store of value. Bitcoin supersedes gold because compared to gold, it has no other use.
If Bitcoin would be used as a store of value instead of gold, gold can be used for other material purposes for a lower price. The same goes for real estate. A house does not have to be an investment asset or store of value. If (institutional) investors would use Bitcoin instead of housing, it could make housing affordable again. Or at least result in more fair/realistic housing market instead of the propped up market from the last few years.
Compared to gold and real estate, Bitcoin is a scarce asset that can easily be divided into small pieces. It has a liquid market and can be exchanged 24/7 anywhere in the world.

> See, it's already over. If you have to explain that to a layperson, it's not going to get adopted.
Does every layperson have to adopt stocks or commodities? Are these also dead if a layperson does not adopt it?

It is not recommended to split up your seed words[1]. Do not try to build your own scheme. If you want to store your keys geographically it is recommended to use multisig. You can also use a passphrase (13th/25th word) that can be stored separately from the 12/24 seed words[2].

Nextcloud CEO Frank Karlitschek well summarized it:
“I don't think Gaia-X has a future. It's basically a paper monster that will exist but will not have any impact in the market, unfortunately."
