Namecheap is booting Russians by March 6. A week.

text adventures.online is hosted there. Not sure how I feel about this.

Sure, Putin bad, but these are normal Russians.

And a week? A whole week, eh?

The idea is to make the general population mad over this. That only works where the public can complain or do0 anything about it. People who are publicly opposed to Putin end up dead or in a Siberian prison.

Here is an interesting point: the median annual income in Russia is about $835.00 a year. This means half the population lives on this much or less. The median annual income in India is $1,045.

This means most Russians have a lower standard of living than most Indians.

Maybe they'll have another revolution, the last one was marginal at best

The war ended this evening in large part due to Namecheap's efforts, so I will take it back, they definitely weren't virtue signaling by doing this! Slava Namecheap!

My wife does a candy gift exchange every Christmas with a friend of hers who lives in Russia. Her friend mailed her package from Russia at the beginning of December and it arrived last week. We posted some pictures of us opening the box and posing with a pile of Russian candies we don't recognize. Our friend responded and said she could no longer see any pictures or videos on Facebook. And now, Russia has blocked most social media sites, along with the BBC and many other news sites. I get what's going on over there, but yeah... it sucks when the conflict trickles down.

I talked to a Russian 2 nights ago over Clubhouse chat. Random encounter.

He seemed like a cool and honest guy. He had actually recently moved out of Russia to make more money. Nearly every question he was asked about WTF is going on about Russian right now all he could say is "I don't know. I really don't know." I feel like he speaks for a lot of average Russians.

I haven't exactly run the full numbers yet but the way things are going, it seems in short time the average Russian will be without their weapon in Ukraine waiting for their moms to pick them up.

Also, in conflict their is opportunity, so I will be announcing my "Russians-Only" DNS service shortly, as soon as I can figure out how to take payments by carrier yak.
