There's many enthusiasts in big cities developing mesh. But using radiowaves with strong encryption is dangerous - fsb can fuck you anytime. If your network will grow to status "public", you must give up keys and register in SORM. In other ways (without encryption) you rely on "nobody cares/listens/reads" and "I had nothing to hide". Easier to use the "national messenger" Max.

Tor with bridges. I2P for what? Darkweb or something like it? I tried to connect for experiment and in my area it never connects, "reseed seems to be totally failed". Vray idk what it is, v2ray is a popular client for Xray and sometimes it works with the right configured keys. What is hydraveil? Never heard of it.

SimpleX doesn't work in Russia. Session is blocked too. Seems like it was much easier to block than Telegram (they're trying right now and it still works). SimpleX depends only on it's own infrastructure + Flux servers and it doesn't survive in restricted conditions.

Signer is an app/extension too. And sometimes it asks to connect to the web. How could one not to trust someone?

My mobile operator, noticing that I switched to a no-fee plan (to keep my number), offered me 100 minutes of calls, 20 SMS messages, and 1 gigabyte of data for 12 cents a month. Additionally, I can connect extra free services: another 10 gigabytes of data with no conditions and 5 gigabytes of data with unlimited messengers, taxi apps, and banking services for five days in case my account runs out of money. Plus, there's unlimited data for the Russian "equivalents" of YouTube - Rutube and VKVideo.

Yesterday my sister asked me to install Windows on her new Huawei laptop. I spent about seven hours on it, even though Windows 11 was properly licensed (with a product key) and the task was just the operating system and an office suite. At first the installation was interrupted due to missing drivers for the wireless module, then it turned out the Windows version was outdated; after updating, BitLocker encryption broke, so I had to roll back and wait again for 25H2 to install. No matter how many years go by, Microsoft stays the same.

It's better to try to resist surveillance than to laugh at those who try. Many people don't limit themselves to using Tor; there are plenty of ways, if not to get rid of surveillance, then at least to make it harder for the algorithms of corps. And for Nostr, if someone really want to be anonymous, there is https://anonostr.com/

That's what I said "team prefers Norris". By the way, some so-called F1 experts attribute Oscar's drop in pure speed to the fact that the final tracks on the calendar simply don't suit him. It's all about cornering technique, and Oscar himself has mentioned this more than once. One source (Mark Hughes) quotes:
"They have completely different techniques, and they load the car differently on corner entry in almost every race. But on these two tracks, Piastri was about 0.5 seconds behind.
Looking more closely at the Mexico City round, the main challenge with the smooth surface of the track, located at high altitude, is warming up the front tires before the first turn and preventing the rears from overheating by the final stint. This is much more difficult to achieve than on other tracks that require a similar compromise in car setup (Barcelona, Hungary, Abu Dhabi), as the ultra-smooth asphalt prevents the tires from gripping the surface well, meaning the mechanical grip generated by tire hysteresis (the deformation of the tire during movement, causing heat) is not very effective.
All this puts additional stress on the tire tread, which is prone to overheating. As it overheats, it transfers less load to the tire carcass, which remains cold and inflexible.
Norris' pole position was 0.588 seconds faster than Piastri's lap, which earned him eighth place. This difference is explained by Piastri losing 0.25 seconds in Turn 1 (his front tires were underheated) and 0.343 seconds in the long, slow final corner (his rear tires were overheated). In total, Piastri lost 0.593 seconds compared to his teammate in these two corners.
They lapped the rest of the lap at the same pace, as the layout smoothed out the differences in their driving techniques. While Piastri did lose time in the fast Turn 9, which is unusual, he was generally faster in the slower sequence of Turns 4, 5, and 6.
Piastri's 0.343-second loss in Turns 16-17 is explained by greater understeer on entry, more wheel lockup as power builds, and, consequently, greater oversteer on exit, which further overheats the rear tires.
Piastri isn't as efficient at cornering simply because his driving technique puts a different strain on the front tires. This is also evident in the time lost in Turn 1. Approaching this corner, Norris partially lifts off the throttle and simultaneously applies braking, while Piastri brakes later and immediately releases the throttle completely, without simultaneously applying both the throttle and brake pedals.
During this phase, Norris has the opportunity to turn the car more deeply into the corner, allowing him to take it at higher speed. This is where the significant time gain occurs. Norris took the apex of Turn 2, the slowest part of the sequence, at 112.6 km/h (70.5 mph), while Piastri did at 101.4 km/h (63.5 mph). Piastri lost a quarter of a second in this section.
Mexico City was simply a more extreme example of what we typically see at the start of every race weekend, when on a dusty track with no rubber, Norris is invariably faster than his teammate. As grip improves throughout the weekend, and the car copes better with the more abrupt load changes associated with Piastri's corner entry technique, Oscar catches up or passes Norris."
It's slippery in Brasil too. So the team has an explanation. Anyways, we will see if Oscar is much better when they both will change the team. I think Lando is good too.
I disagree with your marketing conspiracy theory. The hyper-marketing Lewis once left McLaren and won multiple titles with Mercedes. Your example of his move to Ferrari after seven titles is rather an exception. The undeniable talent of Schumacher, Alonso, Raikkonen, and others at the end of their careers wasn't enough to compete for the title. Of the current drivers mentioned, Alonso shines compared to Stroll, but his protégé Bortoleto would probably have outscored Fernando this season. I keep seeing the same arguments between the glory boys and the haters, and they say that absolutely every driver they don't support is bad. They drive like rocket ships compared to others, and the team devotes all their resources to them, forcing their teammates to give up positions and help defend against attacks, and much, much more. Meanwhile, the teams these haters are rooting for isn't much different. Oscar and his Australian manager, by the way, aren't saints either and are battling it out behind the scenes. I think if McLaren's fortunes worsen in 2026 with the new regulations, we'll see Oscar in a different team in 2027, and he'll have a chance to prove he's stronger than Lando.

Oscar Piastri so cool. Confident, humble and fast. Super fast and 0 mistakes in Bahrain qualification today. Will not be surprised if he'll win the first championship before Lando Norris. #F1 #McLarenF1

Faze Clan - Liquid starting in couple minutes. I think Faze have more chances to win it. Liquid is still a new team.
