Dictators, fascists, and authoritarians of all stripes — #Trump, #Putin, #Orban, for example — hate solidarity. They don’t want us to join together. They’d prefer that we cower alone. They want us to feel powerless and afraid.

This is why I encourage you to participate in the demonstrations planned for this Saturday, April 5, across America.

Robert Reich · Solidarity on April 5By Robert Reich

Evgeny Fedorov, the lead singer of the Russian rock band Tequilajazz has no intention of returning to Russia, even after the fall of Putin's regime:

"I don't want to go back there. I don't believe that anything will change quickly. If it hasn't changed in the few years of freedom that Russia has had, if people haven't gotten a taste and decided to go back to that Brezhnev-era gloom... I don't know," he says.

> ahh ok so people were front-ending other people's instances with CDN?

no, many fediverse instances have cdn/proxy in front of it (think cloudfled, bunnycdn, cloudfront, etc). this can be for proxy or edge asset caching. the code i wrote was crawling everything ignoring the nodeinfo data and just hitting whatever tls/443 endpoint there was.

so i added a routine to filter these out separately (and track them), with the main routine focusing on the actual node itself and any peers i can discover.

it's a work in progress and a mess.

Kitties From Heaven!

There are 17 cats in the Quick Death strike drone company of the Kharkiv Border Detachment.

They are the most sensitive sensors – as soon as the enemy launches a KAB bomb, the cats disappear into the dugouts with lightning speed. Their reaction is an unmistakable alarm signal.

Besides warning Ukrainian Defenders about Russian bombs, cats also help relieve stress.
