WW3 will have officially started when the west will no longer be able to access CS RIN

This seems to be originating at the ISP level so it will only affect Russians. Should be fine for someone connecting from the outside.

Temporary relief to CS lobbies?

It’s the internet version of wearing tighty-whities, gives ‘em the feeling of security.

So less cheaters and griefers in online lobbies? Rare Putin W.

hold on… grad and hexbear ASSURED ME that russia was a bastion of free expression, much more than ANYONE in the decadent west could ever understand!

Russia is a free country. Unfortunately it’s not a country with very safe windows. This has led to a very unfair representation in the west.

Buelldozer@lemmy.today on 27 Jun 17:58 next collapse

Unfortunately it’s not a country with very safe windows.

Even the TCP sliding windows aren’t safe!

Hozerkiller@lemmy.ca on 27 Jun 19:03 collapse

Thats why I always use UDP windows.

Passerby6497@lemmy.world on 27 Jun 22:15 next collapse

Just be careful, the window may not have been installed and no one acknowledged that it was missing.

Hozerkiller@lemmy.ca on 27 Jun 22:17 collapse

Better skip the windows entirely and use BSD or Linux.

Korhaka@sopuli.xyz on 28 Jun 06:44 collapse

Like most Lemmy users, I use Linux

Sparrow_Joint@lemm.ee on 29 Jun 01:30 next collapse

The windows are safe, the fault is due to western gravity.

Litebit@lemmy.world on 29 Jun 16:13 next collapse

They have not updated their windows since windows 3.1 …

Thats why you should stay on the first floor

Also don’t forget all the suicides happening with hard to obtain poisons and shooting oneself in the back of the head three times.

They are freely expressing their fear of dangerous western ideas which must be censored to protect the motherland /s

I love to see the reaction of those same tankies to West Gemany banning the communist party under the principle of Defensive Democracy.

What argument are you even trying to make here?

BrainInABox@lemmy.ml on 29 Jun 03:58 collapse

No, I promise you they didn’t. Lay off the lazy strawmanning

I hope, the troll bots are hosted in Russia…

Ledericas@lemm.ee on 28 Jun 07:10 collapse

im betting they arnt throttling the troll farms, plus russia can also use IRans troll farms too.

Title should be Russian users are unable to access cloudflare internet. Open internet is fine.

rottingleaf@lemmy.world on 29 Jun 09:13 collapse

They had it coming for those captchas.

viking@infosec.pub on 29 Jun 09:30 next collapse

Sounds like it’s only affecting TCP and TLS, so VPN over UDP would be a quick fix.

Bloomcole@lemmy.world on 29 Jun 09:50 collapse

And we can’t access a big part of Russian internet since they have decided for us that it’s all propaganda
