If they did, I haven't heard about it. China has been trying and failing to block tor for decades though, so I kinda doubt Russia managed to beat them to it overnight.

If you're just looking for remote access, openvpn on port 443 should (in theory) be indistinguishable from normal https traffic.

Tor. It's free, it works, and there's nobody to sell you out when the cops come knocking.

There currently aren't any active volcanoes in the Canadian Rockies, but there is still magma towards the base of them that we'd run into if we tried to bore tunnels straight through. In theory, we could bore tunnels at a sharp incline to go over the magma; but that basically eliminates all the benefit vs just building rail lines on the surface like we already have, plus there's the added complexity of trying to make an earthquake-safe tunnel that crosses a fault line.

CN already runs those, and from what I've heard they are indeed nice!

Auto update itself isn't the root problem. The problem is that apt update is hanging and never finishing. It just happens to be getting called automatically as part of an auto update system, but the root issue would still persist even if OP disables auto updates.

When apt update fails to complete, it's almost always because of a broken repo somewhere; hence my question about sources.list.

I'd leave the main sources.list alone, but temporarily move all of the files out of sources.list.d and see if that fixes it.

Definitely sounds like auto-update if it's respawning itself on every boot. The fact that it never exits is weird though; have you added any third party repos? What's in your apt sources.list file(s)?

Your debts cannot be transferred to your next of kin when you die, but they will need to be paid out from your estate before it's disbursed to your family

Vandalism would normally be covered by comprehensive coverage, and won't affect your premiums; you'll just have to pay a deductible. If you tried to do it yourself, you'd never get the paint to match quite right, so you're better off taking it to an auto body shop to have it professionally repaired.

I feel like the War Thunder forums should be part of this conversation

I still run my own xmpp server!

But I'm the only one who has an account on it :/
