To be honest, I'm not sure anymore what you're trying to prove? 🤔

Yet, Northern Caucasus is part of Russian Federation. Chechnya has - surprise! - exactly the same laws as Moscow.

> spending time is a faraway experience compare to living

How exactly?

"Долой Пасху!" - "Get rid of Easter" (USSR, 1920)

I spend plenty of time in Moscow, St Peterburg, Krasnodar and Caucasus.

I do realise that most Muscovites do not really consider Caucasus to be part of Russia... but, surprisingly, it is part of Russian Federation! Russia made a very convincing point about it in 1999 when it started the 2nd Chechen war!

So yes, all cases of extrajudicial killings by Kadyrov actually should be blamed on Russian president Putin who keeps him at power.

I know "reality of living in Russia" pretty well, so don't need media outlets to tell me.

Now, it depends whether you define poisoning or killing of political opponents and journalists as part of "reality of living" or something unusual.

As for Russian media however, the only distinction here is between media that report it and those that pretend it didn't happen.

Кстати кличка Клапауциуша это имя генияльного инжинера из классики польской научной фантастики - "Сказки роботов" Станислава Лема https://librebook.me/skazki_robotov

На пикабу пишет один очень грамотный автор по кличке Klapaucjusz, знаток славянских языков, которого очень интересные и забавны рассказы об этимологии русских, польских и других слов всегда читаю с большим интересом.

@PestToast In such case we just need to wait for PHP to be rewritten in Rust! 😂

Someone backdoored official #php distro to execute custom code if an app is accessed with User-Agent containing "zerodium" string... 🤔

I'm not a radio guy, so discovery of how spread-spectrum (DSSS) and frequency-hopping (FHSS) work, literally below the radio noise levels was one of the "wow" moments a few years ago, when you literally discover a technology that is so clever that before you dig into it basically is close to magic.

How GPS navigation works was another one of these "wow" technologies and I strongly recommend reading/watching how it *actually* works, as it contains an impressive amount of human ingenuity.

This little crap #lorawan beacon with 3 cm antenna and powered by a single 18650 cell was heard from Pen-y-Fan peaks (next to the green "B...n" icon in the middle, stands for Brecon) at the coast of Irish Sea (far to the left).

After checking on a map I got... distance of 80 km! 😮

For reference, this was SF12BW125 so the slowest LoRaWAN rate where ~50 bytes took 1.4 sec to transmit, but this apparently gives pretty impressive distance.
