JoinMarket is decentralized protocol, people could re-implement it in other languages and add to wallets (currently it's Python using Twisted).

Still not a crime, until you deploy them to the victims. I could play around with viruses in my lab for research. Actually, I did wrote a few as a teenager for educational purposes back in the 1990s.

Better to self host block explorer, but if need to use something public like mempool.space or blockstream.info, definitely use Tor.

I used to earn more before switching to FPPS. Then again, when I turned miner on for the heat, I often kept it running until block was mined.

No, you still need onchain privacy for opening LN channels. Also, you will not make million dollar deals with LN currently.

I wanted ZX Spectrum clone (they were popular here) when I was even younger, but we didn't have money for computer. When I was 10, in 1994, mother bought used IBM PC/AT clone for her work (AMD Am286 14 MHz CPU, 1 MB RAM, 40 MB ST506 MFM HDD, EGA 16 colour video [max resolution 640x350]). That was my first actual experience with computer at home and I started learning to code some two weeks later.

That's how I started learning to code 30 years ago. MS-DOS had QBasic interpreter built-in. And I had a book in Latvian about different dialect of BASIC from old Soviet mainframe computers.

In WW2 night raids I think they had some tech to follow location, but there were mistakes too, wrong cities got bombed. You cannot use map during the night when you can't see anything.
