"By finding the exact vocabulary for grief, I was trying to “wash” the faces of those falling in the streets just blocks away, reclaiming them from the system’s indifference." —Miadd Banki for Public Books

Is this where we’re headed too? Speculation that recent outages in Russia were tests for unplugging from internet & global community (similar to what’s already happening in Iran, also China). Population response: “Local media reported that retailers recorded a quick surge in demand for pagers, portable radios, stationary phones, media players and road maps, as the shutdowns gripped the capital.”
…
“Mohiuddin Ahmed, associate professor in cybersecurity at Adelaide University … said internet blackouts could become a "successful" strategy for governments to control domestic political unrest.
"Internet blackouts are put in place so that everyday people can't know what's going on in the rest of the world." “https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/moscow-internet-shutdown-russia-test-censorship/69rjp4wai

I'm trying to think how I would block simplex and the first thing that came to mind was looking up all known simplex servers and adding them to a block list, can't the exact same thing be done to chatmail servers?
I'm aware tor entry nodes can be added to a block list. I wish more projects would consider I2P, I wish it was more known in general it should fix the issue of blocking entry nodes/servers because everyone is a node, add traffic obfuscation on top of that and it should have been safe from the Iran internet blackout

So, I’m thinking about some kind of solution to selfhost or implement that would allow us to receive things like RSS feeds or news from Telegram channels. To be clear, when they shut down international traffic, there is no way to connect using normal protocols such as HTTP, SMTP, etc.
Do you have any ideas about this? -

During the complete internet blackout in Iran, one of the most important things we missed was a way to receive news. The blockage still continues, it’s a little easier now to access the international internet, but it is still whitelisted.

“Direct-to-cell satellite internet can bypass censorship and internet shutdowns, connecting ordinary smartphones directly to satellites—no special equipment needed. This technology could save lives in Iran and beyond.”

When the Islamic Republic silences its people with internet blackouts, it should not be given a platform for propaganda. NetBlocks is right to demand transparency from @WSJ: how was the op-ed submitted, and why was the opposition denied equal access? Those who violate universal human rights must not be allowed to lie unchallenged.

Battles Over #Truth Rage Online Amid Iran’s #InternetBlackout
The shutdown of online discourse within #Iran has allowed both the government and its critics to flood #socialMedia outside the country with #disinformation campaigns and fake images.

A quite interesting source for updates about the internet blackout and censorship in Iran is this Github issue: https://github.com/net4people/bbs/issues/561
The last post includes a graph showing a increasing amount of DNS TXT queries which probably are used for tunneling.
It's great that some people found a way to at least use the internet at probably low speeds but at the same time this is quite frightening because this could mean the internet won't come back as before.

Look, if you are interested in #DigitalSovereignty it is important to realise that the #Iran #InternetBlackout is not really that. It is not the sort of damaging loss of services we have seen recently with #Crowdstrike or #Cloudflare.
The National Information Network of Iran or #IranianIntranet is structured so that they can cut the cables to the outside world and (most) Iranian digital services continue to function. (1/3)

An ecosystem of smuggled tech holds Iran’s last link to the outside world
> Despite internet blackout, a small number of Iranians are risking their lives to share messages as protests continue
> By far the most significant part of this system are Starlink terminals [...]
Then just lets hope the billionaire in charge does keepn it open and does not give geolocations to Iran's government.

Thanks for reminding me about the binary sharing thing thats awesome. I also have to imagine that briar group chats will be quicker and more convenient to organise groups of people than ad hoc communication.
Ideally meshtastic should one day allow global communication; I've heard that a single low power radio node has kilometers of range

Nationwide protests challenge Iran's theocratic system. More than 116 people have been killed and over 2600 detained, according to activists. Meanwhile, US is reportedly planning an airstrike on Iran. https://english.mathrubhumi.com/news/world/iran-protests-crackdown-updates-enmlc4rh?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #Iran #Iranprotests #IranNews #InternetBlackout #WorldNews

Yeah its too late to set up now. Mestastic, when it can be set up, can provide a more semi permanent network than briar but its just for text messages its too slow for anything else
My hope is that people in all countries will realise that it can happen there too and prepare accordingly

Iran is witnessing a second consecutive night of large-scale protests across major cities. The government has imposed an internet blackout and deployed extensive security forces, yet demonstrators are using satellite links, mesh networks and offline coordination to keep the movement alive. This highlights the growing importance of digital resilience in civic action. - Powered by FG #IranProtests #InternetBlackout #DigitalActivism #HumanRights

Tehran, Babol, Mashad, Hamadan, Kermanshah...and many more cities: There are masses on the street tonight all over #Iran. At the same time the regime has once again shut down the internet in order to prevent information to get in and out of the country. We know from previous protests that they kill the people in silence and darkness. Please be the voice of the brave Iranians- they are risking their lives for freedom.

The recent internet disruptions in Bangladesh have now ended, and just an hour ago, the advisor of the interim government took the oath of office. I've shut down all public proxy servers I was running since regular VPNs like ProtonVPN are functioning fine now. I'll also be shutting down my Akkoma instance at social.mitexleo.one, as I've transitioned to using Mastodon.
Unfortunately, I won't be able to work full-time, part-time, or take on any freelance jobs due to my college exams and the need to prepare for university admissions. This means I'll have to minimize my living expenses, and I won't have any income for at least the next 4-5 months. However, I'll continue to run our public Fediverse instance, buddyverse.one, for as long as possible.
My personal instance also needs an upgrade, as I'm getting a lot of interaction from you all—boosts, likes, and replies! Both my Akkoma and Mastodon instances see CPU and RAM usage spike to 100% when this happens since I'm running on a $5 Linode plan. The current cost for running my Mastodon instance is $10/month (Nanode + Linode Object Storage), and for Buddyverse.one, it's just $5/month. This is a significant reduction from the more than $100/month I used to spend!
I plan to operate a proxy and VPN server again soon. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone who supported me financially and inspired me to fight against censorship in Bangladesh during these challenging times. I'll be forever grateful to you all. 💛
I also plan to work for the poor, minorities, and those who need our help in the future. The Fediverse has truly transformed my life—I’ve never had so much meaningful discussion or interaction, even offline, let alone on Facebook or Twitter. I know I act dumb sometimes, and I ask for your forgiveness for that. Please don't hesitate to let me know if I ever do something wrong or hurt you in any way. I'm open to change.
