Not a hot girl, but I also hate fascism 🤝

Fascists believe in a strong hierarchy that makes sure the collective will prevails (dictatorship). Communism is about ending all forms of hierarchy.
The difference to socialism is a bit more nuanced. But I would say most of today's "Communists" are actually fascists.
Mussolini was right, both the 20th and 21st century are the centuries of the collective. Hayek even wrote about this in his "Road to Serfdom"

In one word: collectivism.
The idea that "common good" prevails over individual rights.
IIRC, the word fascism comes from Latin, and means something like a bunch (as in "a bunch of sticks) and refers to an old roman military story: if you grab just one stick, you can break it really easy. But if you take a bunch of sticks, you can't break them. Therefore we should always think about the collective instead of individuals.
As Mussolini himself puts it " If the 19th century was the century of the individual, the 20th century will be the century of the collective".

Fabian has a [PR](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/31117) that allows you to reorg them. However I couldn't get ckpool to work with it. I've been meaning to write a proxy myself for a while, but never find time 😂

// Tx failures never trigger disconnections/bans.
// This is so that network splits aren't triggered
// either due to non-consensus relay policies (such as
// non-standard DER encodings or non-null dummy
// arguments) or due to new consensus rules introduced in
// soft forks.
I think it makes sense. Node A doesn't have a sf that node B has. Node A receives a tx that violates such rule, but it's fine to them. Node B, after receiving such tx disconnects A. If this happens consistently throughout the network, a split may follow.

Brazilian congress officially closed. To stop the opposition from scrutinize the latest orders given by Morais, the lower chamber's speaker unilaterally suspended all meetings at the house. Something unprecedented since the military government iirc
Last time this happened, in 1966, the military coup was rectified and last for ~2 decades.

Google may have to restrict it's service availability in Brazil, due to a decision by the supreme court. Brazil will join Russia, China and Iran as countries where Google is either prohibited or operates with only a few services.
They aren't alone, by ending internet neutrality, all centralized social medias will be in danger. Really hope that nostr catches up from here.

I don't think most users need a full address index, since they usually only have a handful of wallets with a dozen addresses used. It's so wasteful having an extra 100GB for an index you'll lookup 0.001% of it's entries
I've proposed to the Electrum guys replacing script hashes for script pubkeys, that way, using an EPS-like setup gets way easier.
