Lot of them. You can see a list here: https://reestr.rublacklist.net/

#13It seems like the turkish government is trying to create jobs here. Building a "nationalised turkish twitter alternative"? The way things are right now, they need a nationalized turkish github service first.
Or a decentralized github service ;-)

#14It's a torrent file you damn ignorant politicians. Tell your favorite IT guys to block this : magnet:?xt=urn:btih:489b0cef1d7d49fe5ae2ae8cc2f0708b8286cbb3&dn=All+mail+Including+Spam+and+Trash.rar

#15Excellent stuff. If someone can repost the email leak to every possible service they can think of - then the Turkish government will be forced to make a difficult choice between 'security concerns' and being part of the modern internet economy. I don't think they have the ability that China has to build enough services within their own boundaries to prevent the latter choice causing some pain.
Even China can only limit their citizens access to the extent that it doesn't totally hinder economic growth. They would never be able to completely insulate themselves from the "outer" internet without massive harm to themselves, the same goes for any country in this day and age.
The risk of harm will always outweigh the minimal discomfort through free and open discourse that the internet inherently brings with it.

#16Someone on Reddit highlighted that the block seems to key off of the SSL SNI header, regardless of which IP you try to connect to. There must be some Deep Packet Inspection going on here, then?

Is the blocking able to handle stuff like fragrouter where the TCP stream is broken down into 1byte payload packets?

#17This is so annoying for us. I'm not using Dropbox, Google Drive or OneDrive but GitHub is the tool we use the most as a software agency. We've set-up a VPN server for our team for the moment.
Only good thing coming from this is that I've discovered a software called Pritunl today which made setting up the VPN pretty easy.

I think decentralizing government is easier and better.

Maybe a distributed version control system to power it? ;)
