Oh god, please don’t. Just use utf8mb4 like a normal human being, and let the encoding issues finally die out (when microsoft kills code pages). If space is of consideration, just use compression, like gz or something.

No, not really, kind of. VPN protocols are cut regardless if it’s domestic or not. You can still use something like tunneling or proxies, but at this point you’d be better off just connecting to a box abroad directly.

It is indeed total ass. Reporting from the ground here, mobile internet is effectively dead - cloudflare is banned and most vpn protocols are cut after 20kb. There are still ways, like ssh forwarding, amnezia and zapret, but the trend is towards blocking all encrypted traffic going abroad. Complete outages are also common as well.

Wired is a bit better, I see disruptions frequently between my ru and non-ru nodes, but it’s usually between two hosts and relayable, no complete ban like on mobile.

Max is on track of becoming mandatory. It already is for school students and their parents. Gosuslugi (gov services) already show an option to use it for auth, there are alrwady deeper integrations on the way that would make it a requirement.

It is pretty openly spied upon. I’m not touching that shit with a six foot pole, but there were already arrests over things said in voice-calls and I’ve even heard reports of FSB agents interjecting right in the middle of the call, saying they’re being too annoying and force-hanging the call.

Doesn’t work, though. Every other business in Russia is still asking for WA for contact. I’ve been using extremist excuse for the past year as for why I’m not in it, because I can’t be too arsed to explain that I’m not using an aggressively proprietary phone-only garbage from a privacy-violating corporation. They’re still asking, even after the recent ban. Honestly, I should just straight up report them to the police at this point.

But dont try to use it in Russia (or Iran, or anywhere with authoritarian government). That’s how you put a target on your head.

I’d suggest matrix but it kind of sucks as well.

Any other options?

I can easily get both. Yet I know I am a deeply broken person and probably the last person you should date.

I’d cum first just from eating pussy anyways

I just find the concept hilarious. Borrow some expensive… sex… to then immediately sell it… then regularly pay lender with small amount of sex as a fee for the sex loan… then when the time is right buy some cheap sex, return sex to lender… and that’s how one gets sex when sex is in decline.

Think I’m way pass that point… My current itch scratchers of choice are Maddie Ashman for microtonal, Means End/Chromaform for harmonic, and Car Bomb for rhythmic crazyness. Surprisingly, I haven’t ever given “Behold…the Arctopus!” a serious listen, even though I’ve seen that meme video a long time ago… guess I wasn’t ready for it yet. Thanks for the reminder, will def check them out!

Any suggestions for something microtonal? Preferrably polyrhythmic as well.

I’ma short that shit to the ground

Haha, thanks, please do.

This post makes it look like there’s something serious ly wrong with openvpn, but it’s just them not wanting to deal with it and deprecating it.

Oh well, guess Ill put a note not to use them. My country blocks VPN protocols and wg specifically, so for my usecase I need as many protocols supported as possible, preferrably mimicking other innocuous protocols.
