I meant the internet, but yeah, the cardiostimulator wire is sure important...
People are more important than wires. People often forget this, especially the IT enthusiasts.
I caught a nasty cold a few days ago. Feels bad and I can barely function, but the diploma deadline is nigh. Time to bite the bullet..
Why isn't I2P adopted as a communication platform? It looks quite interesting from the security perspective.
There are a few reasons. Firstly, you'd still need energy. Renewables are slower and more expensive than gas and oil. And they take time to install, and during this time people still need electricity and heat. And insta-heaters look like a scam to me, judging by their website.
Well well well. I'm back from a little retreat, took a break from everything except food, swimming in pools and alcohol. Not too much, just enough to compliment the main course. Now it's time to see what one person can do amongst the mess we happen to find ourselves in.
Ethics require a person to be infinitely merciless to themselves and infinitely merciful to other people. The physiology requires the opposite.
Too much work wearc out mind and body, too much self control causes psychological damage. And weak self-control causes harm to others, while lack of work causes material and reputational losses.
The only thing that's left is to balance the damage dealt to you and the people around you to the best of your abilities and pray you have enough resilience to go through this.
UPD: it has, indeed, happened. My friend's dad watched the news at that moment.
It looks legit. I found a few recordings and news articles. Gives me hope.
Oh well. Guess I'm staying after all, at least for now. Gonna try to make the most out of the situation.
Indeed, I meant foresight. It's difficult to think straight these days, let alone speak.
Rats run from the sinking ship, it a well-known proverb. I think it is misinterpreted: rats are not cowardly, they are quite intelligent mammals. It is the smart ones who have the hindsight and flee to save themselves and their families.
Twitter is gone as well. Fortunately, there is still mastodon.
I'll elaborate: it is not blocked from the outside. It is blocked by the government from the inside.
Facebook is blocked. Gg wp.
Huh. You are on point, and I'll expand a bit. The primary goal of election campaign on TV and elsewhere for the ruling party and the marionette ones is not to make people vote. It is made as cringy and ugly as possible to divert people from voting, because it is then easier to get the right numbers. It was a revelation to me a few years ago but make perfect sense now. People should not (from out politics' stance) decide anything.
It feels like hatred nonetheless, especially when people are beat up on the streets. I hope the tension that accumulated over the past week changes something.
Secure, works from usb stick, TOR, Torrent and encryption are defaults. A useful thing today.
I am now downloading and flashing Tails OS on a spare USB stick. An interesting time to live in, indeed.
I'll sum it up.
Judging by what's happening, no one hates the people of Russia more than the government of Russia.
Thank you. I'll need every last bit.
