#93743 — What happens when the Internet and cloud goes down?

Interested techies are directed to observe the independent media's 
coverage of  events in Russia.

Not just unable to fill their cars any more, or get cash out of a bank, 
they cant get their online photos back, order an Uber, pay by a card or 
app, or even complain about it on social media.

In fact life has become impossible for the smart Urban Muscovite.

Global traffic to social media platforms has dropped as regular 
'contributors' seem unable to comment on Trumps excellence, how Russia 
cannot lose the war etc.etc.

I ought to feel compassion, but I am ashamed to admit I only feel 
shadenfreude.

The Trump bot farm which was bombed transferred in hours to another site 
in the same country. No issues.

Sadly, it wasnt the bot farm that was bombed,. It was the Internet 
itself. The routers the servers ...the Russian Internet is down.

I read 3 out of 9 datacenters were bombed in a matter of days. 6
datacenters not enough to keep the Internet running?

Unless they're EV.

That's why I keep cash hidden around my home.

They're still on my phone, on my PC and on 2 external hdd.

Call a taxi. Telephones still work, don't they?

See above. Keeping cash available is never a bad idea.

See, it has it advantages!

Has it actually dropped? This appeared to be fake news with graphs that
weren't confirmed or that didn't show credible sources.

Ukraine can bomb all Russian datacenters and diesel factories for all I
care. Too bad Musk is messing around with their Starlink connections.

Musk claims the outages were with StarShield, not the civilian StarLink 
service. While it uses the same LEOs, StarShield is a US military program. 
The US can restrict access at its will just like it can mess with the GPS 
system.

Musk did post on X yesterday that Zelensky must go. Musk is a private 
citizen but he may have some insight.

...into how to maximise his personal profit.

Zelenskyy called Trump a traitor. He seems to be in an unspoken majority
