That’s where all the best illegal movies come from!
It will be a dark day for piracy…
Luckily, libgen and sci hub are not based there
Big lan party But I’m sure there will be outside content somehow
Someone will be smuggling microfiche behind the iron curtain…wait wrong century.
So turning it into an intranet.
Yeah that works real well for NK
They’re really into cable cutting these days. Maybe we should help.
So we help russia become an IRL echochamber?
Imagine how fast the Russian IT grinds to a halt without SO
DO IT
Their hacking teams will still be connected.
would make it a lot easier to identify malicious traffic - all of it :)
I meam, the rest of the world could cut them off.
Nah, those spies we have in Moscow needs a way to communicate.
Satellite phones?
Its easier to hide traffic when its using the internet, everyone uses the internet. The average person doesn’t have satellite phones, so if russian intelligence agencies are detecting a satellite phone signal, thats most likely a spy. Spies would risk blowing their cover.
No, let’s not encourage this even as a joke.
All cutting Russia off from the rest of the internet will do is making them more radicalized and give even less opportunities for good ideas and good people to fight back.
That’s why China does it. That’s why Iran did it.
- Again.
They do this every few years.
It is like those “drills” with fighter jets flying close by. Everyone does it occasionally to test reaction time. And every time it is a breaking world news.
Nah, it doesn’t always make the news. I know of one time where they flew right over my house and there was no mention of it anywhere, so I tell this story every time anyone mentions those “routine” fly overs.
It was New Year 2019-2020 about noon.
The MIG came in from the Kattegat coast and roared through a fjord well below reasonable eardeafening altitude, which made me go outside to see what the fuck was going on. It got intercepted by one of our own F-16s and they did a few rounds of dog chasing right above my head before it flew like hell back towards Russia. The fucker must’ve dodged the Swedes on the way here.
Way out of line. It’s completely reckless to put some kid into a machine like that and have them fly this close to residential areas. Who knows what would’ve happened and how many people would’ve been hurt if the idiot had hit a tall antenna or lost control from the g-force or whatever. They were flying low, fast and swirling like moth being chased by a flyswatter.
The Russians are reckless assholes even in peace.
You should have thrown a rock in to the turbines.
Yeah, I bet his throwing arm is strong enough to make it a couple thousand feet in the air.
To the people thinking this means Russia will no longer be able to interfere with other countries over the internet: you are probably mistaken. Disinformation teams will still be connected to the internet. All this will mean is Russians having even less exposure to the world outside of what little Vladolf wants them to see.
It will probably make the European CS2 servers less toxic though.
How are we going to get more treasures like “Blending in with the Russians”?
It’s not about what Russians can get from the outside, it’s more about what they can get to the outside.
I think the idea is to have some capacity to temporarily preserve some connectivity, while mowing down protesters or something like that.
They are doing such exercises for like 10 years btw.
But when the war in Ukraine stops with some “mission accomplished” ceasefire, there will likely be more violent signs of popular disagreement with Putin. Because, well, people with combat experience will come back. Some of them to ask for money on the streets, some of them to abuse their relatives and neighbors, and some of them to do crime, and some of them probably to stir shit up.
Less hackers in games?
🤔

Is this an EVE reference?
Yessuh. o7
I haven’t played in a while either, hah.
Good fucking riddance. (No offense cool innocent Russian people.)
What makes you think the worst parts won’t still get through or be allowed through…like troll farms or hacking groups?
Well if they cut themselves off, then why wouldn’t western nations just finish the job and block all Russian IPs from connecting? Make them travel outside of Russia to set up propaganda machines. Sure, it won’t have much of an effect, but it’ll annoy them, and that’s something.
They’d just do the same thing anyone does when the want to obscure their home IP. Just use VPNs, route though sympathetic counties, or other ways to hide who you are. It’d just be a constant game of whack-a-mole. Why do you think we can’t just block people who hack our infrastructure or companies can’t so easily block data thieves? If all it took was blocking a couple addresses or a range it would be easy.
Then who will post on reddit?
cs.rin.ru and rutracker ;_;
Also many people from the cracking scene y general.
On the one hand, oh no, not the fitgirl repacks!
On the other, I spent an hour last night failing to get my controller to work with her repack of Yakuza kiwami, so maybe it’s for the best…
Fitgirl currently lives in Latvia according to her website.
Oh, I just saw she links to cs.rin.ru last night while looking for solutions.
Also, wasn’t being serious anyway
I don’t get her method “I had access to a very powerful computer” what did that even mean?
I don’t know what you mean.
Russian Federation? M-more, more like, like… Russian De-Federation, am I right?
I’m only familiar with the magnificent russian defenestration rate.
It’s as close to 1 as a country can get.
Xis puppet is learning another trick from its master
Gladly, no more fucking Putin Bots.
Are you really that naive?
Their bots will access the net
I’m sure they will still be around.
You know ips can be filtered to still have access right?
Unfortunately the bots are state sponsored so they will be allowed to bypass this.

You make a lot of assumptions about who down voted what.
Here is a hint. You are the first person I down voted in this thread.
If that were true, it should be easy to block all the crypto attacks coming from Russia, right?
Even now, hospitals (for example) could just whitelist their own country IPs, block Russian ones, and bam! No more Russian crypto ransom attacks right?
Wait, why haven’t they just done that already? Could it be that IT teams are already taking this precaution but attackers, especially ones with state funding, can route their traffic through IPs not attributed to Russia?
Again, are you that naive?
