You know, #Apple has blocked a lot of #VPN and media apps in App Store in #Russia. Obviously, it's not ok. What Big Tech should do in dictatorships? Leaders of Russian opposition Vladimir Kara-Murza, Yulia Navalnaya and Ilya Yashin answers: 1: Put human rights first. Dictators’ “laws” are not legitimate under international standards. 2: Focus on real-world outcomes. Companies must consider the practical consequences of their actions on users and aim to protect them. Data-localization laws exist in many democracies to protect user data, but dictatorships use similar laws to target dissidents and fuel repression. 3: Establish mechanisms for dialogue with civil society. To understand how a law might harm users, tech companies should consult with users and their representatives. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2025/02/03/kara-murza-navalnaya-yashin-dictators-tech/ #censorship #socialmedia

#Tesla sales drop down to 50% in January. Well done, Elon #Musk.

Can the man who destroyed #Twitter make America great again?

#nixos pissed me off today. I changed hardware and nixos can't boot. 1. Ok, let's boot from live cd, chroot and nixos-rebuild. No way - they moved some critical filles to new place in new releases and chroot not working. 2. Live CD has no pppoe - and no internet in my situation. Can't reinstall. I'm thinking on #fedora or give nixos the last chance?

Just a #landscape #photo of a forest which I live near.

#youtube is blocked in Russia because of a lot of anti-putin channels. But one can manadge to watch it on smart-tv, giving LAN from #raspberry #pi connected to xray proxy in another counry. Just yyyes!

I use crypto to pay for servers and I had a pet project for price prediction to earn on swaps. Which VPS hosters can be paid with #lightning and can it be swapped somewhere with minimal cost? For what do you use lightning? #asknostr

GM nostr. It's raining in my area, but usually it should be snowy and cold.

I definitely have #FOMO The news are often not good but it isn't a reason to read them 24/7.

My new usb splitter has all ports upside-down. Quite mind blowing.

I live in Russia and today we had another internet shutdown. A lot of services were unreachable. Google was ok, but duckduckgo, yahoo, samsung and most of abroad sites were down. I have three servers with #xray #proxy to circumvent #censorship , but all of them were unreachable, even for ssh. What I'm afraid of is #whitelist , list of addresses which are allowed, and others are blocked.

My back aches today severely because I had a wrong pose while sleeping. #GM not so good.

Tired and wanna sleep huh.

What if use Dhall for xray configuration? One can have tiny config such as vless-link and autogenerate (with Dhall) server or client json. The question only how to call xray to generate key pairs.

Ok, let it be my private diary. Situation that took hours to solve. If you want to use xray proxy (the best tool to circumvent internet #censorship) together with nginx (on different port), you can't use in xray:vless:serverName you domain name used by nginx. Why? I have no idea. With any other domain xray works fine.
