Reading: Finished reading the Bible a few months ago, and read a lot of different non-fiction books these past few months like You're Not Listening by Kate Murphy, Atomic Habits by James Clear, and Body Language by Allan Pease.
Current music phase: A mixed bag of some Mogwai, Swans, FooR, and Maruja's Pain to Power album.
A few things have happened since my last now page entry, namely:
- Had some fun in Paris and Disneyland with my girlfriend, who is now studying abroad for a semester thanks to the EU's Erasmus programme. Visited her in August.
- Started regularly working out and gaining some weight finally.
- Started my Cyber Security master's programme, and I suspect that the first semester will not be that hard.
- Got interested in the inner mathematical workings of cryptocurrencies thanks to a recently started university course on the matter. As a project, I'll do some research on some privacy-respecting solutions for paying with such currencies (think of TornadoCash as an example)
- Speaking of privacy, I felt relieved that the EU's Chat Control nightmare has been blocked (for now). That could have been unenforceable (since actual criminals could easily use devices that circumvent the monitoring) and could easily violate every EU citizens' right to privacy.
- Learnt Boards of Canada's Olson on piano. I'm getting better at this instrument step-by-step.
