The Pi Pico doesn't have networking capabilities, so that would be silly. You're probably thinking of the Pi Zero.

Yep. If you write ``` © <?=$currentYear?> Your Name ``` As many sites do, it may actually invalidate your copyright. You have to put all of the years when you made copyrightable edits to the page. A range like 2010-2025 is only allowe

You have to commit the money upfront into not just the network, but the link on the network. Basically a Lightning connection (or channel) is two parties locking up some money (in any amount and any split they want) and then repeatedly re
