Iron Bug
to those twats who cancel Russians on networks nowadays I want to remind one thing: the most of your sites, networks, proxies, etc work on Nginx - a program written by Russian programmer. and many more software, open source and proprietary, was written by Russian developers, supported by Russian IT companies, hosted on Russian servers, etc.
Internet cannot be torn apart. it's a product of collective collaboration and community efforts. and if you gonna break the communications - you shoot yourself in the foot.
so before you open your crack to tell anything about "banning all Russians" think twice about your gross stupidity.

@iron_bug Nginx is a buggy piece of shit.
Show threadIron BugMar 9, 2022
@freakwater 33% of web servers in the world work on it.
this is only web. on networks it's de facto software number one. I work in networks development for years and I haven't seen a company that didn't use Nginx.

@iron_bug Meh. I’ll take Apache any day.
Show threadIron BugMar 9, 2022
@freakwater Apache needs Nginx proxy. because it's vulnerable to many attacks and can easily eat up all memory and CPU without proxying. nobody uses it in a nutshell. it's always closed with Nginx from outer networks.

@iron_bug well, it’s all good. However, FreeBSD is superior to Linux. I will die on that hill.

@freakwater there're Russian developers in many more open source and commercial software. so "ban all Russians" mob is a fucking idiocy.

@iron_bug well, I didn’t say “ban all Russians” so whatever.

@iron_bug Yeah, Pleroma is written mostly by Russians :D

@lanodan I know many programmers that work as maintainers and/or developers or contributors to many opensource projects. I'm a programmer myself and I wrote some things that are used by many people all over the world too.
I don't divide software for Russian, or American, or anything else, doesn't matter. software is international nowadays. especially open source and free software. and if they begin to ban people on nationality grounds this is just weird. this is something like fascism.

¨To cancel Russians "on networks nowadays"¨ is not the same as

¨To cancel Russian networks nowadays¨

NGINX was compromised by fascists (RCT_Timestamp > 2.25 years ago); the well-documented notes source : https://www.zdnet.com/article/russian-police-raid-nginx-moscow-office/

Making our logic public "here is why we show u how u can config ur own mastohost w/Apache instead" as default documentation for our fork was intentional, knowing how violently ruthless the oligarchs have been against ecosystems in indigenous peoples´ territories everywhere there dictators seeking gunpowder.

Russian police raid NGINX Moscow office

Russian search engine Rambler.ru claims full ownership of NGINX code.

@amsomniac @indie Nginx was not "compromised". it's opensource.
so stop telling this nonsense.

Do you live in a ¨city¨ where cops carry guns?

@indie they have some special army for saving their arse from citizens but in overall police does not work. they have no patrol cars, no gas for them, no even paper for protocols. so this is not anything we rely upon. we defend ourselves in case of troubles.

@indie police here protects unlegitimate power from the revenge of people. only that.
