Dear Italian friends, I'm reading La Tregua from Primo Levi, and around the end he mentions "the myth of the hammer" surrounding the Carabinieri, but doesn't elaborate (because it's too well-known, and "disgraceful"). What is it? I've asked some LLM and done some web search, but couldn't find anything precise.

The customary pizza has been eaten.

On Tuesday we'll take a look at Preimage Piracy 🏴‍☠️ If you want to get a more practical understanding of it, I created a small exercise, leveraging Polar. The idea of the Polar exercises is to play with a local, fake Lightning Network, and write small scripts to control nodes in this network. Ideally, if you intend to try it, do so before the live next Tuesday 😉
