RosKomNadzor's excuses about the blocks
This post is machine-translated. My inquiry As of today, almost a month has passed since RosKomNadzor blocked my resources. No, there is no contradiction in the fact that the block is still active at the moment you are reading this post - I rented a VPS in Germany to proxy the requests to my main server and repointed the DNS to this proxy. This fact alone once again demonstrates the whole absurdity of the blocking situation. But let’s not stop at the small stuff and read what RosKomNadzor replied to my inquiry meant to find out the reasons for the blocking of my servers. When my servers were blocked by subnet (51.15.0.0/16), I wrote to the “hotline”, which had been created to counter the spread of “false information” about unlawful blockings.

Neil deGrasse Tyson - God of the gaps [Russian voiceover]
This post is machine-translated. I have long been interested in the talks of various scientists who popularize science, and I often observe that translation is a big problem. At best — there are subtitles. At worst — only the original. For those who know English well, no problem. But for those who are unable to understand speech “on the fly”, it is a big problem. And subtitles are by no means always a solution — you cannot leave a video running and go about your business. Today I came across one such video, available only with subtitles, and I wanted to voice it over. There was no time to put it off — otherwise, amid other matters, the idea would have been forgotten and the enthusiasm would have faded. I had to secure myself a sleepless night. And here is the result.
