Fucking insane, and very sad.
I recall that during the cold war, US intelligence agencies were worried that American hams might be sending secrets to amateurs in the USSR. They commissioned some report and the findings were basically "The only thing these nerds talk about are signal reports and radio equipment".

Step 1. Buy PC
Step 2. Connect to Internet
Step 3. Open terminal
Step 4. Ping, speed test, trace route, and cURL all day to see if you're still connected
Step 5. Join a community and ask other users what equipment they're using to ping, speed test, trace route, and cURL

Holy shit, that's grim. I was waiting for something to tell me it was satire. It is not.

Belarus is a simple sock-puppet for russia. This is certainly an attempt to muffle the first shots of the expansion of the ukraine war into nato. Now that I think about it, Marmalade will probably start invading Greenland at the same time and try to capture europe in a pincer.
At least we can finally get on with nuclear war, I'm tired boss.

Cutting down the international communication lines usually means incoming internal purge. But with belarus, I'm surprised there are still people left to purge...

The Soviet Union should reform starting in Russia and Belarus. Seriously!
