Where are all the "Russia is great!" shitposters at?
Oh. Bummer.
- Defederated
  
  Also, firewalled

Russian digital rights NGO Roskomsvoboda told TechRadar that most VPNs didn't work during the shutdown, but some apparently did. It's unclear which ones or how many actually worked, though.
NK speedrun
It’s not hard to block at the IP level. I’m curious what the other $600m was spent on.
Trump is going to do this same exact thing, because of course he is. Restricting the ability to foment protest will be job 1 hour 1, along with pardoning all the criminals he can, and setting his DOJ on Joe and Hunter Biden

  You're right.
  You're all fucked too.
- Bought my hard drives when he won.
  If you weren't panicking, you should've been.
Excellent. Can the web also cut off any Russia IPs to make sure it's a clean break?
You don't get a chance to un-fuck something so cleanly very often.
now, there are 3 firewalls on the internet and both linux & bsd are controlled by my government; we're in a really shitty timeline.
- Which government controls Linux? How would they even do it?
  
  They're probably butthurt about this: https://www.zdnet.com/article/why-remove-russian-maintainers-of-linux-kernel-heres-what-torvalds-says/
