I'm your everyday immigrant blue-collar, and pretty much every stereotype applies. I don't code, I don't have value to add, I don't even have a computer. Take it for what it is and don't have expectations. I'm here to learn.

It's not them. A fake "special offer" from a fake Primal goes around too.

The Christmas Truce of 1914 was a spontaneous and unofficial ceasefire that took place during World War I, mainly along the Western Front in Belgium and northern France.

What happened,

Christmas Eve, December 24, 1914: As night fell, soldiers in opposing trenches—primarily British and German troops—began hearing each other singing Christmas carols, including “Silent Night” (“Stille Nacht”).

Soldiers cautiously called greetings across no man’s land, and some Germans placed candles and small Christmas trees on their trench parapets.

Gradually, unarmed soldiers left their trenches and met in no man’s land.

Activities during the truce

Exchanged gifts: food, cigarettes, chocolate, buttons, and souvenirs.

Buried the dead: joint burial services were held for fallen soldiers who had been lying between the lines.

Socialized: talked, shook hands, took photographs, and in some places reportedly played impromptu football (soccer) matches.

Fighting temporarily stopped in many sectors, lasting from a few hours to a couple of days.

Why it ended,

High command on both sides disapproved strongly, fearing it undermined discipline and the will to fight.

Orders were issued to resume hostilities, and artillery fire eventually restarted.

The truce was never officially sanctioned and became rarer in later years as the war grew more brutal.

Why it matters,

The Christmas Truce is remembered as a powerful moment of shared humanity in an otherwise devastating conflict. It showed that ordinary soldiers—despite propaganda and orders—still recognized their enemies as fellow human beings.

🤣😂 Get yourself a wallet, I can't zap you!

I'm not the biggest bitcoiner because I'm new to the space. A little over a year ago, I started buying for €10 at a time. For every 10k Sats that I use for vouchers or VPN, I paid over 12k, so to speak, but I understand the importance of using it as money. So yeah, not the biggest bitcoiner, more like a satoshier. 😂

Good morning and Merry Christmas! 🎁🎄

I wish you all Merry Christmas with "El Cant de la Sibil·la", traditionally performed in Mallorca on Christmas Eve since the 13th century, a chant that prophesies the Day of Judgment, serving as a solemn warning and a call to moral reflection on the fate of humanity.

Good morning, Nostr! 🥐☕⛵

Good evening, Nostr! It was a long day, but beautiful. Now we relax for a bit. 🥂

I visited the Christmas market in Antibes for a bit. Today and tomorrow we have some bad weather, but after that, the sun again.

Et aujourd'hui, bonjour du la Marché Provençal d'Antibes.

Whenever people complain about where we are as a society, I look back a hundred years. I genuinely think we're better where we are. Not that long ago, I was born in a communist dictatorship, and maybe my bar is too low in appreciating small freedoms.

Banksy has a new piece, but I have no idea where it is.
