I get to mess around in the middle of the day today due to a scheduling fluke. We'll see if I can make progress on any personal projects.

Reporting back: I spent most of the time posting nonsense on the Fediverse and eating dinner. I should find a way to limit my usage of the Fediverse.

I like the fact that BTC price is on top of every SN page, but I think the Moscow time is even more practical for a place like that. Could it be possible for it to be added maybe besides the BTCUSD price, @k00b, please? (Or somewhere else, if it's not considered that relevant, maybe.)

Happy birthday, Bitcoin.
14 years ago, your Genesis Block was mined. I didn’t know you then, so I could not benefit from the legendary faucet that paid out sats that are worth an astronomical cost these days. Neither could I forge fame (or notoriety) for myself by using your sats to buy pizza.
I still don’t know you very well, but find you immensely fascinating. I have more or less understood the ins and outs of the Lightning Network, but recently, I learnt about the Liquid Network. And how the Taproot update is a different feature from Taro. That the ex-CEO of Twitter donated BTC to facilitate the development of Nostr.
Does all this make your head spin? It does for me tbh. Anyway, one step at a time. It will all make sense for me one day!
Happy birthday BTC

I was doing some research on the European Parliament and i regret everything. A single video from their youtube told me everything..
From the representatives walking around in bright blue and yellow to show solidarity with Ukraine, the first tought that comes to mind is treason, caus Ukraine is not a member of the EU. Imagine US reps wearing mexican or canadian flags/colors in congress? Treason? Maybe not but still
But i also learned they have servants that wear chains, and their job seems to be to pull out the chair for high ranking members and guests.
Last but not least they have disabled comments on their videos. I wonder what the thought process is there? Its just russian bots anyway so why allow comments? Or what is going on.. Anyway, kinda wierd whats going on with that whole thing.
PS. I also learned they speak english even tho there is no native english speaking member country in the EU. Its very strange!

The answer to this is here
English remains an official EU language, despite the United Kingdom having left the EU. It remains an official and working language of the EU institutions as long as it is listed as such in Regulation No 1. English is also one of Ireland’s and Malta’s official languages

Still surprised that Luke Dashjr lost more than 200 BTC in a hack.
This is a reminder that you need to be very careful when dealing with your own Bitcoin.
