Russian bot traffic has dropped to nearly 0 after Ukraine struck a Yandex data center in Vladimir, Russia

• Source Network: AS13238 YANDEX – Yandex LLC (Russian Federation)
• Traffic Breakdown: Prior to the drop, bot traffic accounted for roughly 99.6% of requests compared to 0.4% human traffic.
• Event Cause: The sudden plunge to zero on October 11, 2026, corresponds to a reported military/drone attack on Yandex's data center facility in Vladimir, Russia—marking the third reported attack on Yandex data infrastructure since October 8.

To buy stuff you can just take a picture of your credit card and send it to me. I will half-assedly search for the Internet for a deal then order you something comparable off Temu before using your credit card to fund my Lego addiction.

Quite right - and sadly they & MAGA are indistinguishable. Traitors to the US Constitution one and all.

@drgavinhughes.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 1:22 PM

The US now has a yellow streak down its back a mile wide. They sat on their hands for 3 years in 1914, again in 1939 and now they've just sided with the enemy.

Would you believe I was in Ballitore today Cormac... and the top window is the one Mary looked out of to see the awful events of that summer - when both sides ravaged this small Quaker village; I would thoroughly recommend anyone read the Annals of Ballitore...
