Are there Mastodon to RSS converters?

Providers in Russia now have to store users' traffic for 30 days. All. Traffic.

Mobile operators have to store voice data and other information for half a year.

I dislike recaptcha more and more. It doesn't allow me to use tor, it requires a lot of js, it spends a lot of my time.

Roscomnadzor has blocked ~18M ip addresses.

Oh nice, they have blocked a couple of /11 and one /10

Roscomnadzor has blocked ~16M ip addresses.

https://2018.schors.spb.ru/ is a good site to watch the numbers. It is only in russian, though, but is pretty easy - first plot is number of ips blocked in almost-real-time, second - in the last 15 days.

Roscomnadzor has blocked 4.6M ip addresses

Right now Russian state agency for internet cenzorship ("Roscomnadzor") is trying to block Telegram in Russia. They do it by telling providers what ips to ban.

Telegram uses Amazon and GCE to bypass the ban by allocating new ips every time Roscomnadzor bans an ip. This technique is used by another blocked tool, Zello.

Roscomnadzor so far has blocked ~2 million ip addresses. For example, it blocked /12 Google subnet. It also blocked several /14 and /15 of Amazon.

I asked about my disk hydraulic brakes on a local bike forum and turns out that my stock brakes are bad and cheap.

Now i switched to BB7. Setup was interesting. Lets see how it goes.

Why would people want to get elected to Betriebsrat? Do they get something for it?

I am so tired of the fact that i don't understand stuff around me. I can't read the signs around me, can't ask for something specific as i could in my home country. It takes so much energy to just order food in a restaurant or specify which ice cream you want.
