Reports that Russians are now just straight-up selling their cars while they're stuck in in massive, multi-day queues to leave the country in an escape from mobilization.

С границы сообщают, что начали продавать машины прямо в пробке, явление массовое. Есть минимум одно достоверное свидетельство, что на границе теперь смотрят возраст (до 27 или старше) и статус военнообязанного по паспорту, но "вопрос решаем".

An insane story about identity theft, but not like you’re imagining.

Someone is pretending to be me.

Activists left an "appeal" to the late parents of Putin, stylized as a school diary note. On the grave of Putin's parents, a poster reads: "Dear parents! Your son is misbehaving! Skipping history lessons, fighting with classmates, threatening to blow up the whole school!"

Today's sabotage of the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines resulted in a substantial release of methane to the atmosphere. Initial estimates suggest ~115,000 tons CH4 from Nord Stream 2, amounting to ~3.2 million tons CO2-eq (GWP100). Possibly double this when accounting for NS1.

We have seen a number of BGP based attacks on the domain control validation process over the last few years. This appears to be yet another example of that.
