Yeah, I know. You've earned more than me, on Nostr. I haven't gotten a single cent, so far.
Have to work full-time to afford my hobby. 🙈

i was literally being paid to build relays for most of last year, and because i'm a server dev, the going rate for this work is 30-50USD/hr so i can live decently but only work 20h a week, leaving a lot of time for me to do other things.
i really need to get off this island though. european union gulag food is literally killing me. i'm down to eating cod and potato croquettes and occasionally a well cooked egg or three, almost nothing else can be eaten without bad consequences. no fruit juices either, i have GERD, i stopped smoking again because i feel like i'm about to get gangrene in my hands and feet at this point, i'm drinking milk a lot now but i know that this UHT stuff has very damaged proteins in it that are known to cause kidney and liver problems.
so i'm gonna be stacking as hard as i can, so i can get back to the balkans and find a way to have my own little hovel and bunker in the serbian capathians. where all the pyramid and UFO people gather, the tallest mountain in serbia (if you count kosovo as a different country)
That last bit sounds awesome.
i anyway prefer it over there. the serbian carpathians are my favourite place in the world since i first saw them in 2019, visiting Rtanj and climbing to the top of the mountain with the little chapel that was bombed in WW2 on top.
i subsequently visited a town called Despotovac, just a little northwest of Rtanj mountain and had a really good experience with two of the people i met there, one, an old granny driving an old tank of a yugo commie car, and then an autoelectrician who fed me and gave me some beer. was during the lockdowns. was no lockdown outside of the big cities in serbia. even the regional trains were still running as normal.
