Aleksej,

Here, I offer up an alternative to your example code.
It's mainly your code, but with more command-line options to tweak the behavior.
In addition, I wrote a systemd service to auto-start the program when the system boots.
My version of the README.md has the details on how to implement.

Feel free to merge if you like, and/or borrow any aspect you may find useful.

+Major features of the Shaner mods:

  1) Use the system RTC by default (e.g. rely on NTP for more accurate time).
  2) Option to display 12-hour or 24-hour for the hour digits.
  3) Repurpose MODE button to toggle fireworks on/on.
  4) Repurpose UP/DOWN buttons to increase/decrease the fireworks cycle speed.
  5) Command-line parsing to choose preferred options without recompile.
  6) Re-wrote makefile for proper handling of binary rebuild any time the sources are modified.
Shaner enhancements. including use of system RTC, 12-hour vs 24-hour display, toggle fireworks on/off, speed up/down fireworks, and a bonafied systemd nixie.service for proper startup at syste boot.
Minor formatting.
