SSH supports SOCKS5 protocol, so DNS wouldn't be leaked if your browser does it to.
Really., SOCKS4 (which doesn't intercert DNS queries) wouldn't help anyway, because russian providers often fake DNS records for banned sites, redirecting users to their page with text "This site is banned due to government request".
No it wouldn't Because there is no such thing as free lunch. Somebody have to pay for these satellites. And it is quite easy for authoritarian government to prevent its citizens from paying to the satellite owner. Note that Bitcoins is already illegal in Russia.
So, owner of these satellites would have three choices
1. Adhere to censorship rules 2. Don't service any people in these countries except few who are brave enough to use some criminal payment scheme. 3. Get some foreign government to pay for free access of users of particular country as part of information war against it.
I don't think that variant 3 gives much freedom to users.
Moreover, Internet is bidirectional by its nature. So, every satellite modem has to transmit some radiowaves on some particular frequency. And this signal have to be strong enough to reach nearest satellite (which is not less than several hundreds kilometers away). So, law enforcers would be able to detect such transmissions using ground-based equipment, which is lot nearer to the transmitter (they don't need to decipher contents, just locate transmitter) and seize modem.
As far as I've read - no. Even if you run a corporate VPN and give acces to it only for your employees, it is OK.
You encouinter this new law only if you are providing public VPN service. And even so, VPN is not banned. You are just required to register with authorities, and download daily list of banned sites, and restrict access to them. Of course, you have to provide logs on request.
Really, members of Russian Duma don't realize that there is something in the internet except "sites" and may be "torrents". And they think that they get rid of later by including rutracker.org (formerly torrents.ru) site into list of banned.
Because if it is not run on every desktop, you cannot find cheap coders for it. So, if teenagers are taught in the college to work with Windows, they are not able to program anything else.
I'm afraid that trying to fight with Parkinson Law, Trump would make himself a lot of enemies. Bureaucrats would plot to shoot him as Kennedy have been shoot.
Apple does a good job to prevent some advertisement company or other cybercriminal gang to reuse data you left on the hard disk of broken notebook or flash memory of your phone.
Really, laws of physics do not prevent you to store order of magnitude more energy than conventional li-ion battary in the gram of solid substance. Consider how much energy is released during explosion of well-known explosive such as TNT.
1. Use password manager (I use KeePass, but other ones are no worse). 2. NEVER-NEVER-NEVER let your encrypted passwords database leak to server you don't own, like DrobBox, Google Drive and so on. Only direct rsync/scp from one machine you own to another one. 3. If you need to access some account from the machine you don't trust completely (such as your girlfriend computer - you may ultimately trust her good intention but be not so sure about her sysadmin skills), don't plug USB drive with your password database in. Open password manager on your phone or tablet look up the password you need and type it in untrusted computer by hand.
Basic income is automation itself. It cuts lots of jobs. With current welfare you'll need a lot of clerks to evaluate conditions of those who apply for welfare and make a decisions. And even if those who apply are too poor to bribe officials, these officials can exersize power over them and feel theirselves significant.
With basic income you' ll need only one computer which would send checks around based on census data.
Now businesses would just move their offices do Bangalore, Lugansk or some other places, where these immigrants come from. If they would be working on their native land it would be much harder to Americans to compete, due to lower standards of living in these places. Nobody would work as programmer for $1500/month in USA because one have to pay for housing, for car and for food in supermarket.
But somewhere in Russian countryside, not to mention India, people with university degree would be happy to accept this wage. Because their neighbours don't get even $1000/month.
I think thief should file a lawsuit against filmmaker for making his private live public without consent. Probalbly he would be able even to defend himself from charge of theft, because it evidently was a provocation.
> How is the circumvention process moving along? Is LinkedIn even trying?
They do. As a Russian LinkedIn user I've got letter from them today where they state that they are working with Russian authorities to resolve this problem, but meanwhile I'll be able to get updates via E-Mail. Because law doesn't require providers to block E-Mail.
Here is text of the mail:
Hello,
As you may have already learned, the government of the Russian Federation decided to block LinkedIn in Russia because we do not store the personal data of Russian members on the territory of the Russian Federation.
We are disappointed with this decision, which interferes with professional networking and the pursuit of economic opportunity for many of our Russia-based members. Additionally, we believe we are in compliance with all applicable laws, and we are currently evaluating the decision and our options. We expressed to Roskomnadzor, the relevant government agency, our interest in meeting to discuss their localization request directly.
Depending on how this decision is implemented, many of our services may no longer be accessible within Russia for some time. However, you could still access LinkedIn from outside of Russia. You can also still be found and contacted by others for career opportunities, receive relevant content over email, and other benefits. Therefore, we will keep your account open unless you tell us to close it.
If you purchased a paid LinkedIn service and can no longer access that service because of the government block, please let us know via email at linkedin_ru@cs.linkedin.com and we will make a prorated refund available to you.
Obviously next four (or eight) years would bring more surveillance to US. But it is not a Trump's fault. If i Clinton would win elections, it would be the same.
It' s just technical progress gives more opportunities to powers to make surveillance more widespread, and they would use these opportunities. In the US, in the EU, in the Russia etc, etc.
I congratulate you, Americans for you choice. Note that the only state which has more than 90% votes for Klinton was D.C. So, she is candidate of bureaucrats.
If you want real exploratrory mission, you should drop tens or better hundreds identical rovers in different parts of planet, make them not depend on remote control and just send reports to Earth each day or so.
Evil green Martians shot a small rock from the big gun mounted in the throat of great Maunt Pavonis volcano. They want to stop Earthmen from coming to Mars and distributing smallpox-infected blankets.
It seems that all astronauts who died from hearth problem, have enough time after spaceflight to rise children. So, small rise of probability of heart attack doesn't prevent creation of successful colony.
Remember, how much chances have first British colonists in the North America to survive just a first winter.
As far as I remember, people in British East-India company have about 90% chances of dying from tropical fevers and cholera before returning to England. This haven't prevented Britain to rule India for two centuries.

Get a better OS, which obeys YOU, and not a vendor.
You cannot fix these things BEFORE. These things can onlty be fixed DURING helping someone else.
