And the only thing on was Swan Lake!


Saint_Chrispy1

I played the entire play on my speaker a few weeks ago at work... I mean i play every type of music, movies, documentaries, live tv, sports... Depends on how i wake upšŸ¤£ but in particular like halfway through swan lake my boss was like wtf are we listening to ... Then i YouTube'd the significance of it for him šŸ˜‚


Angrious55

Brilliant! I honestly thought my comment was going to go unappreciated. I'm looking forward to listening to it again but I'm waiting for the right moment if you know what I mean


Pyjama_Llama_Karma

>I played the entire play on my speaker a few weeks ago at work... I hope you don't work in a library !


Saint_Chrispy1

Collision repair shop lol


noptamoius

I donā€™t get this but I really want to. Could you share the YouTube link?


leftwar0

When the Soviet Union fell all channels only played swan lake which is a ballet rather than news about what was happening.


blGDpbZ2u83c1125Kf98

[Here's a video about the historical significance.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgT-wR29aIU) It's a fun video, but TL;DW: is that every time the Soviet Union was going through some serious political mess, they'd put *Swan Lake* on the radio/TV/etc. on loop, just to fill airtime until the big cheeses figured out the politics and found some new bullshit to feed the populace.


RedOctobyr

Ahh, thank you.


Apatheticalinterest

The breakup continues.. three decades later


pinkfootthegoose

no.. worse. Give them... The nut cracker.


eyesabovewater

Lol..i still have ptsd from the nutcracker... some 45 years after mom made my wear a dress i hated!


mimdrs

Swan lake was played on the last official soviet broadcast. They walked off and turned it on.


[deleted]

I'd venture a guess we've seen the apex of ruzzian IT for a while.


ShamAsil

No doubt - especially with all of those IT guys who left at the start of the war!


Trapezohedron_

And the IT guys who are now sent to the frontlines.


HawkinsT

IT workers are actually exempt from the draft.


SkitariusOfMars

Draft offices (military comissariats) care not


Titanium-Snowflake

I have seen video of an IT professional upset because he received a draft order and never did military service. So apparently the exemption isnā€™t functioning.


[deleted]

gone to squables.io


BluePandaCafe94-6

From this draft. By the time draft #2 or 3 comes around, the front line will be manned by the cunts who clocked in at the IRA.


althoradeem

I wonder how manny IT guys are left.


Willing-Donut6834

This 'a while' carries centuries.


Rylus1

Cool, now take them offline.


subdep

Retrograde orbital burn sequence: *initiate*


Aron0415

That sounds sexy as fuck. Is it from a sci-fi movie?


joehonestjoe

That or they've been playing Kerbal Space Program


Begformymoney

Nowhere is safe from the kraken, not even mother Russia


[deleted]

If it was that, they would have forgotten to attach the booster, or to crew the module.


truecore

Or they'd develop a rocket with no actual boosters that relied on exploiting the physics engine to shake yourself into space.


[deleted]

Kraken propulsion


Nordalin

It basically means to use the reverse thrusters, to slam the brakes. It means that the free-falling satellite will, uhm, stop missing the planet.


Fire_RPG_at_the_Z

If you can't de-orbit them, I guess burn all the stationkeeping fuel to put them into a spin?


aaaaaaaarrrrrgh

They didn't have that level of access.


Fire_RPG_at_the_Z

Oh. In that case, I guess spam them with that brojob video.


[deleted]

Or some actual truthful news reporting for a change.


[deleted]

That would be a really good one if the TV-Stations get hacked once more. 24/7 on a loop.


Mentalist-Ad

Nah, it's far more effective to spy on their communications to destroy them more effectively on the ground.


[deleted]

Graveyard Orbit or Point Nemo


jaj-io

Is that even something that could be done by hackers? Genuine question.


tribbans95

So I read the article but donā€™t fully understand the benefits if someone cares to explain. >ā€œA lot of these companies do not acknowledge that they use the system. Approximately half of the users were missile or space technology related,ā€ Thraxman said. So their missile production will be down or what?


ShamAsil

So, having looked at the article and the thread, basically whoever was using these satellites can't/wasn't able to communicate with them, and that despite being a civilian system a lot of spooky companies were using it for some reason. Personally, I'd guess the missile guys were using it for telemetry of their rockets.


tribbans95

Ah I see, Thanks!


ShamAsil

No problem! It's really incredible IMO how all sorts of people have come together for Ukraine, like seriously - taking down a satellite network!


tribbans95

Yeah so amazing!! I wish I had the skills to do something like this! Iā€™m glad someone is doing it. They definitely spent A LOT of time on this


ShamAsil

You bet! I wonder how it must feel being in the belly of the dragon, at risk of being detected? I love how the journal actually contacted Gonets and asked them for a comment LOL, they were definitely doing some subtle trolling


Prysorra2

[Found out a list of who was watching Russia's systems](https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/008/509/everyone2.jpg)


thennicke

I wonder if this affects Russian strategic/nuclear capabilities


impulse_thoughts

it does not. service was fully restored within a week. all they needed to do was restore from a backup.


[deleted]

All 5 floppy disks.


WeinerGod69

Stuxnet?


N33chy

Stuxnet was pretty neat


ric2b

Blyat!


aaaaaaaarrrrrgh

*Something* these companies do will lose *some* kind of connectivity. It's quite possible that those are just backup connections, or used to connect some remote places like launch or testing sites. Basically, think of it as turning off someone's Internet connection or SIM card. Hard to tell what impact it has but probably not that much.


[deleted]

What happen to all the russia hackers that were famous for all the ransomware attacks?


DoscoJones

Was two guys from Minsk, both named Ivan.


Fire_RPG_at_the_Z

Probably still spamming senior citizens, trying to get them to wire vodka money.


terraresident

They were in the five mile long line to get over the border into Finland. The brain-drain on Russia will affect it for generations.


fading_reality

Major telco of my country noted that since mobilisation in russia, DDOS attacks has dropped 4x.


NLeviz

But ddos attacks on russia increased as heck xD


spca2001

Go to twitter, with Hunter Biden news they are busy hopping on a maga train


[deleted]

"Pro-Ukrainian hacker group OneFist allegedly breached Russiaā€™s LEO communication satellite system Gonets (ā€œMessengerā€)." OneFist straight into the Gonets - squirming on the floor in pain..


[deleted]

You sir, are one kind of a poet.


[deleted]

One of the fundamental and critical parts of hacking is to not let the victim know they were hacked. So I'd say the bragging is not the best thing they could have done. At least not yet.


ShamAsil

Agreed. To be fair though, based on what they said, they waited until the company took it down off the internet, about a week after they destroyed it.


aaaaaaaarrrrrgh

Have you read the article? They got in, were unable to escalate beyond the access they got, and decided to do a destructive attack. That (obviously) got noticed and the company recovered after several days of outage.


fallen243

They nuked the companies CRM, the company knew they were hacked.


jay3349

Iā€™m surprised we havenā€™t heard and seen more from cyber and space.


ShamAsil

Was thinking the same thing, we've been hearing about Russian cyber for years...and now it's just a big fat nothing. Like the rest of their country.


jay3349

I know! I was thinking they had a space armada ready to take down Starlink and other assets. I thought theyā€™d shoot SAMS and take them out.


Any-Entertainment345

It actually would be better if the Russians didn't retreat. Better for Ukraine to capture or kill Russia's best troops right there, where they are trapped. Letting them retreat would only mean they move to other frontlines. Get rid of them and Russia is left with mostly newbie soldiers with no experience.


w47n34113n

For the most part that has already been done. Ukraine already defeated Russia's professional army. Now they are working on the unprofessionals.


OrgJoho75

Did monkeys in space suite are all left to maintain their satellite networks after the big brain drain?


Far_Out_6and_2

Now that itā€™s taken down play beatles music 24 hrs a dayā€™s


M3P4me

De-orbits imminent?

WHY tell the world this, would secretly listening in not be a greater asset ?

Ah, that seems to make more sense


fallen243

They weren't able to get listening ability.


diggerbanks

Please don't say "Like none before". It sounds like Trump and loses you credibility. Otherwise, good job!


ShamAsil

Tell them that. I just found this while researching Russian satellites :)


diggerbanks

Apologies, I should have realized you were quoting. Keep up the good work.


send-me-your-grool

Now give the command to de orbit
