Oh damn, now is the best time to play online games if you’re in the EU region.
If someone told me, just before the invasion, that in 2025 Ukraine would be dunking on Russian energy infrastructure with near impunity, I would have said they were batshit crazy. Slava Ukraini.
At this point they’ve spent their entire Soviet inheritance. They foolishly demonstrated to everyone how poorly maintained everything was, from hardware to training.
If they’re without power, who will tell the GOP what to do?
Peter Thiel and Larry Ellison.
And Stephen Miller. He may look like your average thieving, conniving, corrupt, unqualified, alt-right fascist, racist, psychopathic piece of shit government advisor, but he seems to be pulling a lot of strings on his own.
The machine is about to devour him. He made enemies within and his wife left him to be in Elon’s harem. I don’t think think he’ll even make it to the night of the long knives 2. Maybe 2 more Scaramouchis before he’s out.
Youre not wrong, and I hate it.
What will happen to all the bots?
Sure would be funny to see a noticeable activity dip during this time.
I feel a little bit better that I’ve been arguing with other human idiots.
It’s nice to know when it’s actually a fellow dumbass and not a fucking clanker.
No activity will be seen from .ml
~~Old school landline phones work without power. Not saying they’re using them, just a fun fact. ~~
Edit: see below. I have no idea what in talking about.
They absolutely do not. They just don’t require power locally, but there’s 48v on the line that needs to be generated somewhere.
There will be a big battery bank in each telephone exchange that supplies power until the generators start up. I always hated the battery room, it smelled and there was always the danger of hydrogen buildup. The telephone exchange can keep running on generators until mains power comes back on, or the fuel runs out. (The longest outage I’ve experienced personally on generators was 3 days). The expectation is always that mains power will be restored “soon”.
Then why would our landline work when the power was out?
Battery backups and diesel generators at the interchange, both of which are only temporary. Batteries need to be charged and diesel needs to be pumped, and while you can (and most infrastructure resiliency relies on it) operate these systems on manual power, the stability of large infrastructure systems becomes quite vulnerable once it’s necessary to run a diesel generator to pump diesel for your other diesel generators.
Oh… I had no idea… But it makes sense! Thanks for the info, friend 😃
Slava fuckin ukraini!
Oh no how unfortunate.

Will that affect Oil & gas exports?
Presumably it has a more direct affect on civilians, who are otherwise able to skip most of the consequences of the war. Russians going without heat over the winter will give a little taste of what they’ve inflicted on Ukraine and hopefully put some pressure on Putin. But it also affects manufacturing, both of war materials and civilian needs.
Great work Ukraine!
Just be ready for a massive retaliation on your own power grid.
This is a retaliation. Russia has been doing this for a long while now.
