800 серверов, четыре названия, два брата: как Stark Industries уходил от санкций ЕС

За две недели до СВО, в Лондоне зарегистрировали хостинговую компанию под названием Stark Industries. 18 мая 2026 года нидерландская FIOD изъяла в двух дата-центрах под Амстердамом более 800 серверов и задержала двух человек. Между этими датами — четыре названия хостинга, попадание под санкции ЕС, нидерландская фирма-прикрытие, датские выборы и одна молдавская семья. История о том, как санкции против инфраструктуры не закрывают её — а запускают гонку.

I need popcorn when reading the #RIPE mailing list today.... (wait, I actually do not like popcorn, crisps and beer it is)
75% would have benefited from the new #RIPE charging scheme, with basically no downside. And still, 51% of voters were against it. Another win for democracy! I suppose?

Today I voted in the #RIPE #Election

Even as a small LIR our vote makes a massive difference.

RIPE has twenty thousand members, yet only about 5 percent of members voted in 2025.

Something to think about in our countries as folks go to the polls in the future.

Voter apathy means a small minority of members can have an outsize effect on #democracy.

Be like Obi Wan commit to democracy. ;)

#RIPE Vote submitted. Option B.

With the help of Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿's favorite Pleisiosaur, I will be presenting some #DNS pre-history at #OARC46 in Edinburgh this Sunday, then attending #RIPE92 all next week.

Excited that two of the international events that have been a huge part of my career are coming to the city I grew up in !

I'm currently looking into the proposed #RIPE charging schemes for 2027.
The category based model seems pretty good to me in regards of making the big players pay their fair share regarding their usage of RIPE infrastructure.

Am I missing reasons why we should not adopt this version?
