Apparently Russian shelling caused a fire at one of the training buildings at another nuclear power plant.

Facebook’s president of global affairs, Nick Clegg, said that “soon millions of ordinary Russians will find themselves cut off from reliable information”.
Combined with the recent actions of Fédération Internationale Féline, this must be a terrible blow to Russian cat fanciers.

Hrm… on one hand, losing internet access could make Russians more aware of how the rest of the world is viewing this. On the other, makes it easier for Russia to feed its citizens only the view they want. No good answers…
Cogent took the step at least partially because the company did not want to be used for “outbound cyber attacks or disinformation.”
Considering how Cogent had quite the reputation of being a sewer of abuse sources in the past, this is also kind of wild. I know they’ve taken a lot of steps to get better, but it’s still a bit weird to see this justification.

This reminds me of the Lincoln Battalion of the Spanish Civil War.

Namecheap also shut off Russia, announced 5 days ago, effective today. There’s a somewhat interesting thread on Hacker News. Has posts from the company CEO as well as from Russians who were working with the anti-war protestors inside Russia.
Interesting to me, the company has over 1000 employees in Ukraine. Also, with so much else shut off, including things like payment processing, the people in Russia can’t easily switch. Or can only switch to Russian companies. Which isn’t really safe for anti-regime people.
