I think connections is the main problem. The second problem is clients never notice when you have poor connection, and event will just fking disappear after you push send button. Because clients can't predict what relays will do and if connection will be still bad or good enough to push event to relay at the exact moment when you try to publish something.

There's many enthusiasts in big cities developing mesh. But using radiowaves with strong encryption is dangerous - fsb can fuck you anytime. If your network will grow to status "public", you must give up keys and register in SORM. In other ways (without encryption) you rely on "nobody cares/listens/reads" and "I had nothing to hide". Easier to use the "national messenger" Max.

Testing Delta Chat. Some issues with message delivery I see. From Android to iOS for example. Anyway my email (not chatmail) server is in Russia so there's hope it won't stop when total Cheburnet will hit the ground.

Delta chat's chatmail public servers are mostly blocked. When trying to use email services like Yandex mail or Rambler you'll immediately get permanent ban for suspicious activity or spam (they know about PGP and Delta chat of course). The most popular Mail_ru gives you an external app password only if you pay for subscription, you can't use delta chat unless you paid them and even if you pay them you likely will be banned for "spam". So you can't just tell people to install delta chat and be connected - relay by default blocked, local email services doesn't want to see your encrypted messages...

Nostr-based messaging is much worse than anything you can use in such conditions. The number of DM relays are less then fingers on one hand. Dms here are superbad, it is unusable from my view. I changed client (now I'm using Wisp) and my old dms are missed, and those somehow appeared doesn't looks good. Nostr uses too many connections, it depends on availability of relays and good internet channel. I often struggle to send some basic event to three of the most popular public relays. I don't think Nostr can be the solution somehow. It failed in many ways. I tried White noise by the way, 0xchat too, idk it always lags and you have to admit compromises or surrender on it.

DPI is not everywhere and it can't be everywhere, at least this day. In Russia when they're hardly trying to block 2-3 popular protocols or global services at once, some old shit like Shadowsocks or Wireguard and even Socks5 starts working. There's always will be a pretty solid path until total Cheburnet activated. And I mentioned Signal for a reason. It devs implemented feature that bypass DPI blocking with one checkbox activated. Idk how it works and if it is working right now or not (I'm not a Signal user), but I know the only problem with Signal in Russia was to register and log in to the messenger (you can't just receive SMS with code and you can't first-time connect without VPN), so their solution works, but not from the box, and not for everyone. I hope SimpleX and others "decentralized" guys will not turn away from the users from Russia like many service providers does for any reason (sanctions, politics, war, etc.) BTW your governments will try to implement some kind of blockade (nation-wide network) earlier or later, so be prepared.

The main question is you want your friends to communicate each other inside or with you and others outside Russia? For outside there's no better alternative than cleverly configured VPN (+Tor). I really don't think Nostr based thing can do much here. Maybe if we had enthusiasts who creates relays on critical infrastructure from "white lists"... and it still easy to block. At the moment I'm testing Delta chat - there's a chance emails won't die when other communication channels will be turned off. But centralized services (Yandex mail, Mail. Ru etc.) can easily ban accounts that transmit encrypted messages using Delta Chat, citing suspicion of spamming, so again, relays within the country are needed.

The fat from these animals is also valuable and used in folk medicine.

In reply to nevent1q…vm5g
_________________________

The difference in the sound of cars from the same team has been discussed many times, and in most cases, the difference is explained by different car settings and driver preferences. I also noticed a pronounced whistle from Norris's onboard, but I don't consider this evidence of a decisive difference in the cars' technical characteristics. But I heard an opinion that the last updates of the season, which McLaren brought in at rounds 7-9 before the end of the championship, introduced decisive changes that were much more suitable for Norris, Piastri's weeks. I agree that favoritism for brit is evident, it's obvious, but I don't believe that the team is sabotaging Piastri, preventing him from revealing his talent, especially that they have different cars. Piastri would never agree with old details. And if one driver have a new front wing/brakes/suspension or anything, but his partner is not, the team explain it immediately after the mandatory registration of any changes in it's cars between races.

FIA and F1 owners are political, profit-oriented and likely corrupted institutions. I agree Briatore needed to be banned from racing business for life after what he did.

Behind the scenes, a lot of what could be called match-fixing happens, whether for the sake of high ratings, spectacle, or drama. But in this particular case, even though I like the calm Oscar more than the whiny Lando, I see no reason to consider Formula 1 a failing sport. You say you stopped watching it in favor of F2, but you still watch. It seems to me that in recent years, with Max becoming king, the championship has become much more interesting and the intrigue has increased exponentially. Even if it's partly artificial, I don't care. I think it's long been clear that in Formula 1, you can't be a nobody; you can't win races only on pure talent. It's long been a sport for billionaires, allowed into which the children of millionaires are allowed, who are expected to be able to elbow each other and weave intrigues from the very childhood.

In any case, time will put everything in its place. Thanks for the interesting opinion!

In reply to nevent1q…fdy6
_________________________

That's what I said "team prefers Norris". By the way, some so-called F1 experts attribute Oscar's drop in pure speed to the fact that the final tracks on the calendar simply don't suit him. It's all about cornering technique, and Oscar himself has mentioned this more than once. One source (Mark Hughes) quotes:

"They have completely different techniques, and they load the car differently on corner entry in almost every race. But on these two tracks, Piastri was about 0.5 seconds behind.

Looking more closely at the Mexico City round, the main challenge with the smooth surface of the track, located at high altitude, is warming up the front tires before the first turn and preventing the rears from overheating by the final stint. This is much more difficult to achieve than on other tracks that require a similar compromise in car setup (Barcelona, Hungary, Abu Dhabi), as the ultra-smooth asphalt prevents the tires from gripping the surface well, meaning the mechanical grip generated by tire hysteresis (the deformation of the tire during movement, causing heat) is not very effective.

All this puts additional stress on the tire tread, which is prone to overheating. As it overheats, it transfers less load to the tire carcass, which remains cold and inflexible.

Norris' pole position was 0.588 seconds faster than Piastri's lap, which earned him eighth place. This difference is explained by Piastri losing 0.25 seconds in Turn 1 (his front tires were underheated) and 0.343 seconds in the long, slow final corner (his rear tires were overheated). In total, Piastri lost 0.593 seconds compared to his teammate in these two corners.

They lapped the rest of the lap at the same pace, as the layout smoothed out the differences in their driving techniques. While Piastri did lose time in the fast Turn 9, which is unusual, he was generally faster in the slower sequence of Turns 4, 5, and 6.

Piastri's 0.343-second loss in Turns 16-17 is explained by greater understeer on entry, more wheel lockup as power builds, and, consequently, greater oversteer on exit, which further overheats the rear tires.

Piastri isn't as efficient at cornering simply because his driving technique puts a different strain on the front tires. This is also evident in the time lost in Turn 1. Approaching this corner, Norris partially lifts off the throttle and simultaneously applies braking, while Piastri brakes later and immediately releases the throttle completely, without simultaneously applying both the throttle and brake pedals.

During this phase, Norris has the opportunity to turn the car more deeply into the corner, allowing him to take it at higher speed. This is where the significant time gain occurs. Norris took the apex of Turn 2, the slowest part of the sequence, at 112.6 km/h (70.5 mph), while Piastri did at 101.4 km/h (63.5 mph). Piastri lost a quarter of a second in this section.

Mexico City was simply a more extreme example of what we typically see at the start of every race weekend, when on a dusty track with no rubber, Norris is invariably faster than his teammate. As grip improves throughout the weekend, and the car copes better with the more abrupt load changes associated with Piastri's corner entry technique, Oscar catches up or passes Norris."

It's slippery in Brasil too. So the team has an explanation. Anyways, we will see if Oscar is much better when they both will change the team. I think Lando is good too.

I disagree with your marketing conspiracy theory. The hyper-marketing Lewis once left McLaren and won multiple titles with Mercedes. Your example of his move to Ferrari after seven titles is rather an exception. The undeniable talent of Schumacher, Alonso, Raikkonen, and others at the end of their careers wasn't enough to compete for the title. Of the current drivers mentioned, Alonso shines compared to Stroll, but his protégé Bortoleto would probably have outscored Fernando this season. I keep seeing the same arguments between the glory boys and the haters, and they say that absolutely every driver they don't support is bad. They drive like rocket ships compared to others, and the team devotes all their resources to them, forcing their teammates to give up positions and help defend against attacks, and much, much more. Meanwhile, the teams these haters are rooting for isn't much different. Oscar and his Australian manager, by the way, aren't saints either and are battling it out behind the scenes. I think if McLaren's fortunes worsen in 2026 with the new regulations, we'll see Oscar in a different team in 2027, and he'll have a chance to prove he's stronger than Lando.

2025-11-08T19:39:09Z

It seems the pressure has gotten to Piastri, and the championship is slipping away. Lando, however, pulled himself together and drove much faster and more confidently than at the start of the season. This is especially surprising given Max Verstappen's strong performances in the second half of the season. Oscar lacks experience, and most importantly, it seems the team doesn't want him to win; they prefer Norris.

Antispam, antitheft, call and message filter, antifishing/malware detection firewall, disabling installation of applications from unknown sources - all this is now enabled with one slider. But I need to install third-party applications, I think many people choose Android precisely because of this. And I can't turn on the new additional protection feature because the choice is all or nothing.

Yes, you are right, everyone need to switch to Graphene OS, I still can't decide to get rid of Google services and some Google play-only apps.
