1. How is PeerTube running over there?

2. They need the bandwith to download all the porn from the internet before they shut it off completely.

3. “A speed of 128 kilobits per second can only be enough for listening to audio or watching video in a resolution no higher than 240p. When choosing a video with a higher resolution, users will most likely encounter noticeable delays in loading.”

   I suspect that’s not about censorship but about reducing the quality to hide the piss poor fakes that russia make.

4. Seems the Russian government revels in making their economy less competitive.

5. Slowing down the truth won’t help the terrorist state of russia.

6. Smart. That should give everyone just enough discomfort to figure out their VPN situation.

7. Meanwhile VPN sales will be skyrocketing soon.

8. Russia should be totally isolated from the Internet.

9. Wonder how pro ruz will spin again to be a good thing fpr everyone
