Antoine Dupont just became the GOAT.

I think I am getting close to the first kernel API pull request. Most small patches were merged and reviewed quickly, there are maybe 1 or two left. Then it is time for the big one.

Grass is looking so much better this year than last. Wonder if it is down to us getting more rain, or something else.

I wonder if anybody runs Bitcoin Core all in memory.

Done with civil service. Got the fire road built and made some hay. Operating a chainsaw for the first time was very fun. Ended up serving ~400 days for this country in the military and civil service combined.
