Screenshot of a form asking for mother's maiden name as a "safety question" while requiring to enter at least six characters.
Not all people can use their mother’s maiden name as a “safety question” with bahn.de, as the input field requires an arbitrary minimum length of six characters.

My occasionally sent email newsletter has all of the above, and there is of course also an RSS feed or my Mastodon/Fediverse profile.
