January lasted eight years but now it’s March in a fortnight even though February started yesterday.

Okta again...

Okta says hackers stole data about all of its customers during a recent breach of its support systems, despite previously stating that only 1% of customers were affected https://t.co/0nn28Cp2fH

This is Claus-Henning Schulke.

The 57-year old German is a civil engineer but — once a year — he morphs into an athletic legend.

How? Schulke bikes around the Berlin Marathon course and is the dude who keeps Kenyan super-marathoner Eliud Kipchoge hydrated.

Last year, he played a part in Kipchoge’s record-breaking marathon time of 2:01:09.

Per the LA Times, Schulke is an accomplished triathlete, having finished 6x Ironman events.

How did he get in with Kipchoge?

While other major marathon events let top runners grab water off of tables, Berlin pairs the best marathoners with a volunteer (who hand them bottles).

They first teamed up in 2017 and Kipchoge — the greatest marathoner ever — requested for Schulke in the following years.

After setting the marathon record of 2:01:39 in 2018, he signed his running bib and gave it to Schulke.

It read: “Dear Claus: Without you, I would not have managed to run this world record.”

Kipchoge has also called Schulke a “hero” for his efforts. The rest of the world calls him one of the most glorious nicknames ever: “Bottle Claus”.

@EwanToo We had one of those flying over us the other day, must've just acquired a new batch or something. They look somewhat apocalyptic for some reason? 🤔

Not that many systems handle 6B QPS. 😀

That's scary, researchers were able to identify keystrokes with 95% accuracy with recorded audio and 93% over zoom: https://t.co/DI3PMOv2W6

Not the be all and end all, but this is impressive, and a game changer for getting a placeholder up or a one person business startup getting going. (H/t to @rossstevens_uk )

@sexandtheswiss Not commonly abused in Sweden, but I'm not entirely sure why. If you are subject to abuse or harassment, you can apply for a protected identity which makes it less public: https://t.co/iZZrtMb7x7

@rossstevens_uk There's a dystopian future there with people only being able to afford a funeral when Greggs subsidizes the coffin for advertising rights 😅

Love this - not all to my taste, but a genuine refreshing break to the Omni present sterile office design trend.

@harrogatebus the service is very intermittent today, I've been waiting over 45 mins for a bus towards Harrogate from the direction of Ripon. Are you sure there aren't more disruptions?

@knolleary I enjoyed working there, what a location. The brutalist architecture really grows on you.
