For now at least, yes. If it's primarily 2FA that the concern (and that's the case for me, it doesn't matter a huge amount which country the number is in.

I haven't had that problem with Devyce, all the SMS messages I'm expecting seem to come through. I had also heard about Twilio limitations which is what stopped me from using it (haven't tried so can't confirm). Edit: Op

As a digital nomad the SMS 2FA auth is a constant pain in the butt. I'm not fron the US so Google Fi is a non-starter for my case. My current setup is to use Airalo for e-sims to get data access and Devyce to get a virtual UK phone num

Agreed, but the SWIFT problems shouldn't impact EU business accounts (which is what I suspect this is, based of the twitter profiles location in Tallinn).

To the best of my knowledge, these aren't sanctions, just companies acting unilaterally to support Ukraine. So many stories of it having an impact on those on our side, that just happen to have a Russian or Belarusian passport. Even pe

I have talked to a bunch of Russians recently who are fleeing. There is definitely collateral damage happening for "Russians" that are not in Russia (and Belarusians). Belarus is a good example of where we've already forgotte

There is a lot of rage going around. Some of it misdirected. It's incredibly hard to have nuanced discussion on the broader internet (HN is better than some places). All attention is focused on Ukraine. They need all the help they can

It's the same in some ways. Already there has been an uptick in hate towards Russians outside Russia. Also Belarusians[0]. Even if they're anti-Putin and anti-war, if they've been trying for years to change things they can&#x

In a lot of ways, it's about stepping stones as well. Once out of the country and in a safe place there are more options. I had heard that Russians were having trouble opening bank accounts in Georgia, but I can't verify that rumo

This is wisdom. There are so many great countries out there (seen through the eyes of a digital nomad). Countries that you can build in, and succeed in. I can recommend Estonia, though it might feel too close with the current war. Also I lo

I had wondered how welcoming Estonia was being to Russians at the moment. I suggested a couple of Russians that are leaving reach out and ask, because Estonia is one of my favourite countries in the world and I had faith that you would be h

If some of the other threads are anything to go by, Russian tech people are looking to leave Russia.

In some ways the further from Russia the easier it will be. Countries in Europe feel very close and very connected. Asian countries and even countries like Australia and NZ not so much. AU/NZ are looking on and supporting Ukraine, but

Blessed or cursed by where you are born. These people are leaving Russia because they will get thrown in jail for protesting. They're at high risk of conscription in a war that don't agree to. I have spoken to Russians and Belarus

I'm going to link to a thread by a Belarusian today on twitter[0]. It sheds light on Belarus which is applicable to Russia. Highly recommended read. [0]: https://twitter.com/AlinaLeonovaSF/status/1499457928562

What about Finland and Sweden? What about if it was just the island of Gotland, and not an all out invasion. Edit: And how much will you give up to avoid a Nuclear War. Assuming the other side is not rational and can't be trusted to pr

It can feel like you're being attacked with a list like this, but it's highly likely the tech items are just coincidence.

It's definitely not a terrible idea to have a unique(ish) name. Your name is somewhat like your username for non digital things, or at least part of your username. I don't have a particularly common name but when I google it I sha

I remember. I was in the US, in Mountain View, on election night for work. I went to get dinner as the election was being counted. Between that and the next day, there was just shock.

I had concerns about this yesterday, and shared in that thread. Doing things to support Ukraine is vital, but so is doing things to support Russians. They're the only ones that can stand up to Putin without (we hope) causing WW3. As I

square bracket syntax is fairly well used in wikis. While there are varying degrees of user experience if you step away from Obsidian, it's still readable. You can go and convert the links to []() either inside Obsidian with a plugin o

Enterprise Content Management like EMC Documentum has this sort of thing baked in (it's been a long time, but they're definitely on top of it). But that's for big companies.

I haven't read that book and will add it to my reading list. I'm not naive (but far from an expert). There are all kinds of problems with western democracy, capitalism and the media (in no particular order). There is a vast differ

Fun story, driving through Croatia toward Split Google Maps kept telling me the main freeway was closed and to take each and every exit. Someone is maliciously reporting roads closed. Obviously the same could happen to OSM, but there isn&#x

Western media has nowhere near the same amount of propaganda. It is diverse and not controlled by the state. The west has many problems, and protecting democracy is a full time job. With Ukraine, hundreds of countries are all seeing the sam
