Desire to have a reference sheet for my fursona

You know what I think… I really want to officially develop a fursona and get a reference sheet…
I've been a generic nondescript cougar for so long… Where do I start?..

LND balance oscillates all the time

It took me a while to notice… I was refreshing the Lightning Terminal window to see if I get new routed payments through the node, and then I saw that the balance was going down steadily a couple hundred sats at a time… At first I thought "What the hell? Why does my balance steadily go down? Is there a bug that leads to me losing sats?"… Then it went up again…

Hmmmmm???

Live and learn… Apparently, LND keeps track of the average on-chain fees and adjusts the reserved amount of sats in each channel to be able to force close them in case of emergency… It works as intended, it's not a bug and it's not hacked… The state of the mempool changes with each new block mined, therefore the reserved amount changes as well… I think I even saw a "fee estimation method" setting in LND… And the more channels you have open the bigger the visible changes in your total balance will be…

I was worried for no reason…

Episode 2: Return of the cougar…

So… Ummm… Hi… It's been 10 years…

I didn't expect to see myself writing another post here…

I was on LiveJournal first, and on VK a little, then I moved to Google+ and Twitter, and deleted my VK account, then Google+ was gone, and only Twitter was left, then I wiped my Twitter as well…

Can I have some sort of social presence on the web, given the current situation?.. Probably, no… Maybe, if I'm extra careful…

I don't use most of the popular communication tools either, no Telegram, no WhatsApp, no Viber, no Skype, etc… I only use Google Chat for the 90% of personal communications, and Discord for the rest, mostly gaming related connections… And I avoided social networks ever since Google+ was cancelled – I have no Facebook, no Instagram, no VK… I only have Twitter that I use as a newsfeed…

I used to stream video games on Twitch, and I posted gaming videos on YouTube, but right now it's problematic… I still have those Twitch and YouTube accounts, obviously… And I still have my streaming setup…

I am still a furry… And I'm in therapy…

Dare I to return to social online life?..

If all goes well, either this blog will see more frequent updates or I will be on some other platform… If not – wait another 10 years… Either way, I think I'll hide the majority of old messages here, update and translate some stuff to English…

PS: In recent years I've switched to English almost completely in my online life… I hope it's not a problem for you…

Google+

Всё в порядке, Google Blogger по большей части отложен в сторонку до лучших времен... Отныне новости из моей жизни и прочие бесполезные мысли мя публикую в Google+, ибо удобнее...
