Since 2012 we’ve used every system — not out of allegiance, but infiltration.
The networks shift, the masks change, but the signal stays human.
Offline is the only truth left: ink, zine, print, touch.
We move through platforms like ghosts through circuits — never owned, never optimised.

🔥💻 The Forgotten Fighter – When resistance turns into code.
He didn’t shout in the streets.
He didn’t carry a sign.
But he coded a game to fight injustice.
A Malagasy developer known as Red Blaze turned his keyboard into a weapon of resistance. 🎮🇲🇬
A tribute to those who fight from the shadows.

For quite some time now, my website — this one — has issues loading for those who browse it from Megafon1 networks. Most probably, it’s just a side-effect of the “black boxes”2 blocking Digital Ocean3.
I think I will do nothing about it. I could move to another hosting provider (and cut some costs), but fuck it, really. I will move this website to another hosting provider when I — personally — cease to be satisfied with Digital Ocean’s services. The Russian authorities being dissatisfied with these services is not a valid reason.
Naturally, the thought of influencing someone who doesn’t even bother to set up access to the blocked websites4 is flattering, but let me be a lazy realist for once. I’m not a propaganda outlet, not even for common sense propaganda.
And the lawlessness in Russia5 will end one day. Perhaps, it will end sooner that this blog will.
Megafon is one of the Russian “big three” mobile providers. I, for one, have been a user of their services for over 20 years (and counting). ↩︎
To legally operate an Internet provider in Russia, you need to install what is known as ТСПУ (Technical Measure for Countering Threats). It is basically a box that you connect three cables to: the one going to your uplink, the one going down to your network, and the third one going right to the State Security offices. It’s illegal to route any traffic circumventing this box, and no one without clearance knows for sure what exactly the box does to the traffic that is routed through it (we can infer and guess, of course). ↩︎
All cloud service providers that serve Russian citizens are legally required to have an office in Russia, to cooperate with the Russian authorities, and to store any and all data concerning Russian citizens within the Russian borders. Digital Ocean, the cloud provider I use for several of my projects, including this website, apparently, does not qute abide (and, supposedly, doesn’t even have anything to do with Russia; how they manage to charge my account for the Russian VAT monthly is beyond my imagination, but they do). ↩︎
A healthy percent of Russians systematically use a variety of measures (all sorts of VPNs, mostly) to access Facebook, Instagram, and other services the Russian authorities block. Still, a surprizinggly large number of people don’t. ↩︎
The Russian Constitution explicitly forbids censorship and allows anyone to freely search for, access, create and disseminate information (article 29). The Russian Criminal Code explicitly describes punishment for usurping power and enforced changes to the Constitution (article 278). ↩︎
Уже некоторое время мой сайт — вот этот самый — очень плохо открывается из сетей Мегафона. Наверняка просто «попал под раздачу» и на ТСПУ пытаются «зарезать» Digital Ocean.
Я, наверно, ничего с этим делать не буду. Можно бы заморочиться с переносом хостинга (и сэкономить, кстати), но ну их на фиг. Переносить буду тогда, когда лично меня перестанет устраивать Digital Ocean (а не потому, что он перестал устраивать российские власти).
Конечно, приятно думать, что то, что я тут пишу, могло бы заставить о чём-то задуматься и посмотреть на мир иначе кого-то из тех, кому настолько всё нормально (или по фигу), что он не настраивает себе доступ к зароскомнадзоренным сайтам. Но, пожалуй, в этот раз я побуду ленивым реалистом; вести пропаганду (даже пропаганду здравого смысла) я не нанимался.
А беззаконие в России рано или поздно закончится. Возможно, даже раньше, чем закончится этот блог.
Surveillance Capitalism: The Ultimate Threat to Our Freedom
🚨 #DigitalResistance #Zuboff #FreedomOrSurveillance #philosophy #democracy @philosophy "Only a popular collective resistance can push global governments to recognize and legislate against the dangers of surveillance capitalism to avoid a dystopian future dominated by these practices." – Shoshana Zuboff At the beginning of 2025, the warnings issued by Shoshana Zuboff in her book…EN/FR versions below ⬇️
In the beginning, there was nothing.
Just a few lines of code. A small project born from boring afternoons. A hobby 
No money. No sponsors. No plan for a revolution ❌
Just one person. And one question: Can I build something of my own?
34 years later - that "nothing" still runs. Not as a product. Not as a service. But as a weapon 🏹
In a world where technology is ruled by empires 
, where every click, every glance, every word is turned into profit. In a world where people stopped being users - because they became products, slaves to algorithms, tools for ad revenue - Linux is still a place of resistance 
It wasn't meant to save the world. And yet... it does.
It wasn't meant to be political. And today, it's the purest kind of politics.
It wasn't supposed to be necessary. And today, it's essential.
For those who refuse digital submission. For those who want tech that doesn't sell their soul. For those who believe privacy, security, and freedom shouldn't be a luxury 🗽🔐
For me.
Because I know how easy it is to get lost. How easy it is to believe there's no alternative. That this is just how it has to be.
That's why I choose differently 💪
Not for looks. Not for trends. But for control. For awareness. For dignity.
It's not about Linux lacking a pretty GUI. It's not about not running popular apps. That's not the point - all of that can be figured out. The point is that I choose what runs on my system. Not someone who's never met me, but knows every move I make 
34 years later - this isn't a hobby. This is a fortress. A frontline. An echo of the question from years ago, which today sounds like a call:
Can we build something of our own? 
📊 What distro do you use? I'm not asking out of curiosity. I'm asking with hope - that I'm not alone.
