The Russian people have essentially lost access to the internetIt's strange that this went unnoticed, but on June 9, 2025, RosKomNadzor —- a government agency that regulates internet access —- essentially made the "outside" Internet inaccessible to Russians and turned the Internet into what's been recently called "Cheburnet", a derogatory term that means the Russian only segment of the wider Internet.Below is a list of popular websites that you can no longer access: * slashdot.org * arstechnica.com * coingecko.com * disqus.com (and all the embedded Disqus discussions on the Internet) * forums.developer.nvidia.com * osnews.com This list is not exhaustive, we are talking about millions of websites.In addition to that, you cannot use DNS over HTTPs (DoH) with the most popular web companies, including and not limited to: * CloudFlare * OpenDNS * Google DNS over TLS (DoT) is still working however it is not enabled by default in most operating systems. As a result, RKN has not yet started blocking it.In addition to that, the OpenVPN and WireGuard protoc
Show HN: Tool-Assisted Speedrunning the Boring Parts of Animal Crossing (GCN)I recently dug my Nintendo GameCube out of storage to revisit the first Animal Crossing game. Things were mostly as I remembered, but the game's heavy reliance on a clunky on-screen keyboard quickly wore my patience thin.Unwilling to accept this subpar experience, I did what any rational person would do and ordered a rare, Japan-exclusive, keyboard/controller hybrid on eBay, then used a Raspberry Pi Pico to 1. listen for keypresses and 2. send simulated controller events to the GameCube, automating typing in Animal Crossing at a Tool-Assisted Speedrun level.Of course, this oddball controller's keycaps didn't map perfectly to Animal Crossing's in-game character set, so I watched a 10 hour FreeCAD tutorial at 2x speed, then modeled the 7 keycap profiles to create 81 custom, 3D printed keycaps, taking care to include even the most esoteric Greek and Old English characters that Nintendo chose to include in the game.And then, having solved my original problem, I decided to sniff out some ne

Show HN: macOS app PhotoSort could help reduce your monthly iCloud billPhotoSort does two simple things that Apple Photos (deliberately?) doesn't.It sorts your iCloud and Mac Photos library by file size and aesthetic quality.This lets you find not just your best photos, but also large, unwanted photos and videos filling up your iCloud storage, and the hundreds of useless screenshots and forgettable photos cluttering up your Photos library.PhotoSort creates two albums in the Photos app: SizeSort and QualitySort. The first identifies the biggest space hogs that you could offload to reduce storage; the second separates your best shots from the mediocre and rubbish ones that you might want to delete.PhotoSort is available on the Mac App Store (https://apps.apple.com/app/id6739038077). The free version reveals your 30 largest files. The paid version ($5 for lifetime use) shows the full sorting and creates the two albums. More details at www.photosort-app.com.PhotoSort is available in English, French, German, Spanish (ES), Spanish (MX) and Russian versions. The
Social startups focused on real world connection always fail – AI fixes thatThe Cold Start Problem in Event DiscoveryThousands of "meetup alternative" and "travel planner" and "meet people who share your interests" startups have failed due to the cold start problem. Unlike geo-mapping with Open Street Map, there's no open event dataset for the real world. Generative AI now makes this possible by parsing unstructured event data from various sources and formats.Events are scattered across platforms, and manual curation is impractical. Companies like Songkick and IRL.com have burned through billions attempting to solve event discovery, facing consistent challenges:1. Cold Start Problem: New platforms can't attract organizers and attendees without critical mass 2. Data Silos: Proprietary datasets prevent comprehensive coverage 3. Curation Overhead: Manual curation doesn't scale 4. Network Effects Favor Incumbents: Users go where events already existActivityPub has failed to penetrate because organizers post where their audience is. Event organizers want an open da
