Russian visitors of my foss project ( https://www.filestash.app/ ) now see the message of peace address to them by president Zelenskyy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fwzb_JX7u04
Frankly, I think that's a much wiser approach than escalating the situation further with DDos attacks. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonviolence

No. What you clearly teaching is utmost harmful for the security. Are you going to be responsible if someone lose money from their bank account? And please don't expect all hackernews reader to understand the meaning of cors. Not all of us are fronted developer right? The best way is to create some node or binaries (rust/go/c++) and run them.
I wonder why Chrome even has such setting, like what's the use case for it?
But of course never browse the web with this instance of disabled security.

The US does not currently have a legal permission to be in Ukraine. Ukraine does not have a defense agreement with the US that could land troops, Ukraine is not a NATO member, so forth. Right now, for the US to cyberattack Russia would be a direct act of war and quite literally cause the Cold War to become the Hot War. For this reason, just like how our troops are not in Ukraine but in surrounding countries watching,…
The US and Russia agreed to defend Ukraine after Ukraine agreed to give up its nuclear weapons in the 1994 Budapest Memorandum. The Russians are violating this agreement today, and the US would be following it to defend Ukraine from Russia’s invasion.
As a result, even if that binding is still in power, is it worth defending Ukraine by going to war against Russia? That would literally start World War III. Letting Ukraine fall is terrible, awful, painful - but it's better than WWIII.
Currently Russia is suppressing all the civil protests against war in their own country, and they go as far to make people go to jail for just tweeting about it. If it will be possible to use hacking or similar techniques to generate noise so: 1. Who wants to protest is harder to detect online ( i.e. can be arrested only once in square actually protesting ) 2. The information about Russians protesting against war spr…
Sounds remarkably similar to the actions of western governments in response to recent protests about mandates. But now Russia bad so forget all that.

"being tough on Russia" is very far from "aggressively rallying for war with Russia".
Personally that's how i interpreted her posture. It may have been all for show, but who knows.
This thread is mostly full of jokes, and that's cool. But more seriously I'm exactly the kind of person I suppose this is meant to appeal to. I've spent the last 2-3 decades breaking into systems. Many of these systems comprise what the US calls "critical infrastructure". That's pipelines, power generation, transmission, distribution. Air traffic control systems. Government agencies. I'm based in the US. The problem…

That’s a good point. I visited Latvia a few years ago and was struck by how large a section of society there identifies as Russian, to the extent that in some places you were more likely to hear people speaking Russian than Latvian. Poland would be a more difficult target to justify than the Baltics; only 0.1% of Poles speak Russian; 30% of Latvians are native Russian speakers. I could see Putin going there next.
All three Baltic nations are NATO members. An attack on any NATO member requires a response by NATO. So, not likely that Latvia is next.
I am not, even slightly, sure that this is the case anymore. Economic sanctions is as far as anyone is willing to go anymore it seems - and half-assed ones at that.
I absolutely cannot see the US, England, or any other NATO countries sending people to die in Latvia. There just is zero stomach for that in most of the world.
And people like Putin know that, is the problem, I think.
