Finally, I'll have decent teammates in Countrstrike 2.
Russia tests cutting ~~itself~~ their citizens off from the rest of the internet
The state would certainly continue to interfere with the rest.
In the long term is will fuck over their ability to hack stuff. You're essentially ruining people's ability to develop talent at tech. Even if u want to train them in it as military, it would be new to them.
Nah, they'd just do what NK does and pull out the "brightest" and train them in cyber
If everybody but the state is blocked, then any connections from Russia would be pretty fucking obviously the state. Honestly, that's the best thing that could happen, since it would make figuring out what they are doing easy as fuck. But I have no doubt they are smart enough to just send their teams to China or something like North Korea does.
Belarus is a puppet state of Russia. Route outbound traffic through there to fuck with Western elections, or run a VPN.
As a queer person in a place currently under russian control, I find a lot of the comments in favour of the censorship problematic. Being gay in public is illegal here, so a lot of our queer people find communities on the Internet. Being cut off from those would be terrible.
Sorry you’ve been saddled with that, friend. I hope things get better in Russia (or Ukraine, Transnistria, or Georgia, think that covers all the places they occupy) in your lifetime
I hope I'll escape before it collapses, otherwise life will be unnecessarily difficult for a decade or two
It will be a dark day for piracy...
Luckily, libgen and sci hub are not based there
tbf the internet is going to consist mostly of 3 things in the future:
So I guess it's not really a surprise that this is happening.
I was gonna say you forgot porno but then
scientific information
Russian Federation? M-more, more like, like... Russian De-Federation, am I right?
Wouldn’t it collapse their economy? Like how many Russians are digital sex workers selling content to the rest of the world? And doesn’t a shitton of money flow into Russia via ransomware
Shh. Just smile and wave.
Wow, you are really brainwashed if you think the macro-economy of a country depend on these...
No lie. Russia is a petro state above all else.
The worst (to me, anyway) part is that a LOT of pirate stuff will disappear if the russian internet gets gated
That’s where all the best illegal movies come from!
Noooo! My sports streams!
This is a sad day
Yeah I'm sure going full north Korea and cutting of everyone below the government is gonna work well
cs.rin.ru and rutracker ;_;
Also many people from the cracking scene y general.
Yeah - and I'm Dolly Parton. Everything that Russian press puts out is lies. There are only two reasons why Russia isn't an abandoned strip mall: Oil and the Internet.
Fuck. Please don't take down Sci hub... I know there are mirrors elsewhere, should I be worried?
I'm not even going to make the usual joke, by saying sarcastically that I don't use it and wouldn't recommend it to anyone. It's the biggest contributor to scientific progress in the last decade and I'm tired of pretending it's not
Xis puppet is learning another trick from its master
Lmao is russia gonna be even worse than China? At least China still somewhat have access to foreign websites (emphasis on the "somewhat").
Edit: Also, aren't telephones still working? Just call a friend/relative outside of the country to obtain information, or ask someone who has a friend/relative out of the country and ask for information on your behalf.
Have they banned mail yet? Try using mail lol.
They're gonna need to do a nationwide lockdown to stop all information.
(Funny thing is, no matter how hard China tries, I (I'm in the US) can still call relative in China and tell them all the info that the CCP has hidden from them)
Also, aren't telephones still working? Just call a friend/relative outside of the country to obtain information, or ask someone who has a friend/relative and ask for information on your behalf.
In Putin Russia friend calls you! And by friend I mean your neighbor, and by call you I mean call the police to arrest you because you have dared to ask for information. Straight to the gulag for you!
Gladly, no more fucking Putin Bots.
Their bots will access the net
Are you really that naive?
I'm sure they will still be around.
I hope rutracker will stay available :P
Good
Edit: actually not good. Disinformation agencies will still have access, so hexbear and .lm will remain. Only citizens will be punished and will be cut from non-prpaganda sources.
Yup, it's the opposite of good. Russian citizens are getting screwed here.
Lol peace suckas
Wait, so just like that, we're gonna lose access to lemmy.ml and hexbear? Oh no! Woe, woe unto us! How will we survive this?
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
