Russia suffered a widespread internet outage affecting users across the country, with access to websites on the local .ru domain down.

The issue was linked to a technical problem with the .ru domain’s global Domain Name System Security Extensions, or DNSSEC, which is used to secure data exchanged in internet protocol networks, Russia’s Digital Ministry said in a statement on Telegram Tuesday.

The ministry said later Tuesday that the problem had been resolved and access restored.

Websites including the most popular local search engine Yandex.ru, ecommerce leaders Ozon.ru and Wildberries.ru, and apps of the country’s biggest banks — Sberbank PJSC and VTB Group — were all affected by the outage, state-run Ria reported, citing Downradar, a traffic monitoring service.

Disruptions were reported in Moscow, the Moscow region, St. Petersburg, Tatarstan and the Sverdlovsk and Novosibirsk regions, Ria said.

Sberbank and VTB didn’t immediately reply to an emailed request for comment. Yandex declined to comment.

I alternate between US-QWERTY and LT-QWERTY. My biggest problem is typing ž instead of =

I actually did the opposite. I grew up in Klaipėda, a harbor town in Lithuania and moved a 100 km eastward to a small town to live with my wife.

I work from home so I can live here quite comfortably, despite it being boring. Both urban and rural experiences can be depressing in their own way.

There are places in bigger cities that are depressing too, if you venture outside of the touristy parts. In rural areas, however, it is harder to avoid.

You have probably been in big cities where a lot of stuff is happening but visit the countryside and it is full of broken people and dying towns.

Another thing to note is that further south you go, the happier people will seem, while in the north, long winter days and lack of Vitamin D can really mess with local people.

The people over 45 have it especially bad here, since the world they used to know is no longer there, they can't adapt to it, they don't make as much as some younger people do, and they are beginning to lose their friends and family. While life is amazing and exciting to the young adults you are most likely to talk to in bars. The contrast actually adds to depression.

When it comes to comparisons, I think the main difference is that in East Asia, people have to deal with too much order and monotony.

In East Europe, the life as you know it might disappear at any moment. Life is fragile and fleeting and everything around you and everything you know will be dead one day. Nature itself reinforces that fact every year.

I guess he hasn't been to Eastern Europe yet.

I only received the prompt to subscribe today.

BLT is also an abbreviation for a Russian swear word "blyat" which is the appropriate thing to say upon receiving this sandwich.

You'll get 5 free instances if you get a subscription, but that kind of messes with the whole "just install Ubuntu from a USB key and use it with no hassle" workflow many Ubuntu users used to love.

You need to check what the purchasing power parity between US and your country is.

Someone making 35K USD per year in USA is doing roughly as well as someone making 15.3K USD per year in Lithuania. That's a higher end retail wage here, or 1170 euros.

I make more than that after taxes, and that includes national health insurance and national pension fund.

The caveats are that plane travel, vehicles and electronics will be more expensive to a Lithuanian but fresh food, real estate, rent and services will be more expensive to an American.

That heavily depends on the country, but in general you have to ask for permission rather than forgiveness.

Something something most of Europe does not allow you to overdraft your account and people get by just fine something

It's 7500 to outfit a Ukrainian soldier with all three:

Laser sight (Brolis Group)

Night Vision monocular (Brolis Group)

Anti-drone system (NT Service)

They probably jam the frequencies that are used to control drones. It is a smaller iteration on already popular EDM4S Sky Wipers. How they work, you can find here.

That's two identical felt balls tied up by dark thread. I put them on her back to check if she had moved because she throws them away when she moves.

From an employees perspective:

1. They will prohibit vacation or send everyone away.
2. Your salary will come late.
3. Various people you haven't seen will visit the office.
4. There's a running gag of packing up to move offices and being told you have all been fired the next day, Arrested Development style.

From a higher-level perspective:

1. Some investors will write off losses to save on their taxes.
2. Others will try to sell any tech or other properties the startup has managed to create to recoup losses.
3. Creditors and bond holders will be paid first before stock holders. Most vc funding comes in exchange for stock.

You got me I guess.

Dwarf pigs exist, like kunekune of League of Pigs fame.

Ducks and geese are probably fine but require a pond outdoors. And, you know, outdoors.

Some people nearby have a turkey, I guess that's an option too.
