    I'm guessing the US arsenal of ATACMS missiles is rather limited and they have their own reasons for not making it smaller, which they can't go into detail about. Frustrating, but understandable.

    It's disturbing. I deliberately avoid any community hosted on his lemmy.ml instance (the ml stands for Marxist-Leninism). I could certainly not stomach the Ukraine community there.

    All banks and bank-like institutions you might have access to will comply with the same anti money-laundering and know-your-customer regulations. It's not really up to the individual bank to decide.

    The "Swiss bank account" is largely a thing of the past, as they are forced into data-sharing agreements with the United States and possibly others. And even so, you need to be a Swiss national to qualify for a bank account there.

    You can use cash as much as possible when it's an option, of course. It's less convenient, but privacy often is.

    WebTunnel, a new pluggable transport for bridges, now available for deployment
    forum.torproject.org

    We’re excited to announce WebTunnel, a new bridge pluggable transport (PT) for the Tor ecosystem. It is a censor resistant proxy that try to imitate HTTPS traffic, based on HTTPT research. We are currently operating a trial soft launch for WebTunnel, and encourage bridge operators to set up WebTunnel bridges to discover issues within the implementation of this new pluggable transport.

    Relay operators: 8 relays peers IP address are allowed from now (end of June 2023)
    forum.torproject.org

    You might recall that Tor has been restricting the possible amount of Tor relays per IP address to 2, mainly for Sybil prevention reasons.[1] We bumped that limit to 4 earlier this year[2] to make better use of available resources and considered back then bumping that limit further to 8 relays per IP address. I've good news for everyone looking forward to raising that limit further: after an investigation into the effects of allowing 4 relays per IP address[3] we think it is overall beneficial for the network and our users to raise it further to 8.

    In my experience, you just have to press the search button a few times with a short pause between to let the server fetch the data from the review instance. Or just reload the search page after pressing search.

    They could realistically have kept Sevastopol and the rest of Crimea if they just hadn't invaded the rest of Ukraine; now it's all at stake.

    But even so, if they lose Sevastopol, there are other Russian ports along the Black Sea, notably Novorossiysk. While that's much less strategically located, and costly upgrades would be required to function as a marine base, it's not strictly true that they would lose access to the Black Sea altogether.

    Apologies in advance if this is hopelessly armchair, happy to have my amateur observations nuanced.

    "According to the occupiers, they see that Mariupol residents do not like them. Therefore, there is a suspicion that local residents did this," said the legally elected city council, while out of the city.

    How terrible for them

    These numbers are from Ukraine. Personell losses are necessarily an estimate, but probably not completely off the mark.

    Russia or Ukraine do not publish daily numbers of their own losses.

    The air-launched Storm Shadow missile is being used to great effect in Ukraine, the UK said. The UK-supplied weapon is performing "almost without fault," Defence Minister Ben Wallace said. Russia has accused Ukraine of striking a bridge linking Kherson to Crimea with the weapon.
