"Police are warning students and universities not to access Sci-Hub, an "illegal website" that allows users to download scientific research papers normally locked behind expensive subscriptions."

Very bad indeed. That name again: Sci-Hub. Remember it so you can avoid it. Ahem.

@kravietz
They say it works only after red pill unlock, so it's interesting but not a security issue.

It's illegal to enter buildings in the zone as most of them are completely unstable, and due to a new zone administration there's typically no bribing your way out of a situation. Sometimes in the most unsuspecting places you may find street art left behind by a Stalker who risked arrest for something many will never see. Somewhat of a real life Easter egg, or a subtle nod to defiance: "You're not suppose to be here."

@cjd @kravietz I'm not convinced that it is bad to invest in nuclear power research. We're getting to the point now where thorium-based liquid salt reactors will be commercially available in 5-10 years. Many new thorium-based MSR designs would obviate concerns about traditional uranium-based nuclear power, in particular the risk of explosion from a meltdown would be nearly nil since they can be operated at 1 atmosphere of pressure, and their fuel would mostly be stuff that is considered a hazardus byproduct of rare-earth mining (which, coincidentally, is necessary to construct high-efficiency rechargable batteries)

CoLP with an unpaid advertising feature?

QT fanf: The police say Sci-Hub enables free access to over 70 million published scientific papers of all disciplines. It is estimated to include 80%+ of the world’s scientific papers, a volume of data roughly two and a half times the size of Wikipedia. https://www.cityoflondon.police.uk/news/city-of-london/news/2021/march/police-warn-students-and-universities-of-accessing-an-illegal-website-to-download-published-scientific-papers/

Это весна 2010 года. Ещё раз. Весна 2010 года. Закон о запрете информации ещё является законом о защите информации. Роскомнадзор не упоминается на интернет-конференциях. Нет блокировок, Мизулиной, Хинштейна, Жарова и Липова. Т.е. они есть, но в другом мире

A service which “sells access to [your home] bandwidth to customers seeking proxy services.”

Sounds a bit like running a Tor exit node, but for people who are likely less tech savvy, and probably won’t have segmented their network and offer this with a different IP.

QT TheRegister: What could possibly go wrong? Sublet your home broadband to strangers who totally won't commit crimes https://reg.cx/3Z27
