Beep boop. Looks nice. Despite switching to 24h time format it's still sowing time in am/pm.

Still, a REST API tends to be a pleasure to work with even if it's not well documented. Beats a "blob of minified encrypted JS" API any day.

Because i don't want to have to flip through a few dozen various sites and pages. I want all the accounts, bills, terms, traffic limits, fines, rates, counters and stuff to be on a single page. So i made a program that logs into all these dozens of pages periodically and pulls all the data out...

Not on the back end... Back then making a web browser was a weekend project with a month of polishing and debugging afterwards. These days? A browser is way more complex than an OS and to make one would take multiple lifetimes. And the sites themselves are obscenely complicated. Before you...

Yeah, a standard abbreviation for it here. Maybe not as common in English.

For Russia, i expect the numbers to be close for Moscow and SPb, as many different sources (including medical side of my family) match up. I know them to be fake for several notorious regions, from purely mathematical impossibility of having so many identical numbers as well as reputation of...

Schlock Mercenary webcomic just ended. It's strange, to wake up and find zero new comic strips. No matter what day it is, i could always expect Schlock to be here. That never happened before...

So USA can create a Space Force while we have to sit back and play nice? I don't think so. Seriously, from what i can read in Russian sources the thingy is described as "satellite inspector" and was apparently hunting a US spy satellite of some sort. Sounds like a lot more fun is going on than...

Hm, made me want to look up the full title of the Russian Emperor from back in 19th century. Jules Verne, i think, found it quite impressive in one of his books, but i can't remember which.

Apparently only the 26 GHz band is usable, so kinda yeah. The last time military frequency debate lasted for a better part of a decade, so 3G only launched in 2013 or so, while 4G was available as early as 2007 and mainstream by 2012. Same debate had been going on for two years now regarding...

Looks like Russia is going to skip the sweet 5G mind control rays and leapfrog over to 6G, like we did with 3G - all the relevant frequencies are hoarded up by the military again.

Funny thing is, i saw it recently and dismissed it as a plane or something. Logic being if there was a comet that bright i sure would have heard of it, therefore it's not a comet. :/

There is a lot written about it here - http://www.projectrho.com/public_html/rocket/spacegunconvent.php In short, a mirror is never perfect and a laser that can punch through a hull would destroy any real mirror quickly as well.

Fun fact - dynamo is phonetically close to a Russian word for someone who stood up a date or bailed out on agreement.

Wasn't that a double edged event? It basically concluded and underscored one of Hitler's greatest military triumphs.

Makes me worry what's up next here in Moscow. We aren't anywhere near the end of it, but most of the restrictions have been lifted yesterday against doctor recommendations. Numbers have been jumping down suspiciously too. Looks like the plan is to make a show of normality at all costs before the...

Yeah, this thing is long dead. I should have the sources in the archives somewhere, can dump them on github if anyone likes to try fixing it and updating to the modern Orbiter version. I no longer have the means to do it.

Yep, the trampoline is working.

Ah, the good old magical one-LED device. They were quite popular over here in the early 00s for separating the elderly and their money.

If history is any indication, it's never as straightforward as gear broke or pilot skipped a step.
