godSend23 | Russia cutting off internet march11! |
godSend23 | what can we do |
operational | talk to elon |
godSend23 | u mean starlink? |
ajak | right, because #security is who should be doing things |
godSend23 | can we bypass this? |
ajak | ...? |
godSend23 | still get access |
ajak | ??? |
BoBeR182 | HAM radio + email repeaters |
BoBeR182 | you can send basic HTML over it |
BoBeR182 | They're still gonna need internet for their own local shit |
BoBeR182 | so realistically it's gonna be some BGP block or DNS fuckery |
BoBeR182 | i'm sure if the Chinese can bypass the GFW so can the russians |
godSend23 | ooh |
BoBeR182 | .onion proxies and etc etc will help |
godSend23 | so i simply continue to use .ru urls? |
godSend23 | what's GFW? |
BoBeR182 | great firewall of china |
BoBeR182 | GFW |
godSend23 | ohhh |
godSend23 | i need to get myself a HAM radio |
godSend23 | are there .onion proxies for every possible url? |
ajak | what does that mean |
BoBeR182 | no |
BoBeR182 | .onions must be set up by the site admin |
BoBeR182 | you don't need a HAM radio to access Tor |
BoBeR182 | but a HAM radio can help access other parts of the internet |
BoBeR182 | even if it's just downloading an RSS feed |
godSend23 | oh awesome that's neat |
godSend23 | idk the ru sites' admins |
rindolf | godSend23: see #linux |

rindolf | godSend23: i noted that i suspect russia will be egypt 2 |
godSend23 | hmm |
rindolf | .ru-ers are crazy |
Apachez | https://twitter.com/UAWeapons/status/1501288850055995396 "The Ukrainian John Deere Brigade apparently found another abandoned T-80U tank." :D |

Apachez | CombatVet: the next expansion pack for farming simulator? ;) |
Apachez | how to tow a tank =) |
CombatVet | that thing is pulling like 20x+ its weight |
rindolf | ajak: reallife tanks are hateful - https://www.shlomifish.org/humour/Terminator/Liberation/indiv-nodes/hannah-using-a-tank.xhtml |
ajak | what are you on about |
rindolf | Apachez: heh |
rindolf | ajak: tanks are big, heavy, unagile & vulnerable |
rindolf | and an environmental menace |
ajak | i think this is a bit orthogonal to the issue |
rindolf | ajak: maybe,... |
rindolf | ajak: it tends2get stuffy inside tanks |
cockatoodude | death in a tank, is horrible |
cockatoodude | generally the tank becomes impossible to exit, and on fire, and you burn to death usually fairly slowly as the fuel leaks and spreads and ignites |
rindolf | That put aside, despite common belief, NASA astronauts did use pencils in space at first ( https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/fact-or-fiction-nasa-spen/ ), just like their Soviet peers. However, this solution was found to be lacking. As a result, space-friendly pens were developed (within budget) and used (including by the USSR cosmonauts). |
