Public key transition statement 

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA512

So, I've generated a new GPG keypair. It has a set of subkeys (one per usage),
which, theoretically, should make it all more convenient and secure. Also it
uses currently-recommended algorithms (4096-bit key RSA and SHA512) and was
generated using my new hardware entropy source which was the main reason for
this change. The old key will be expired in a couple months unless I revoke it
as superseded first. There is no reason to believe it was compromised or
anything.

New key's fingerprint is

F819 3F12 6021 6B7D D53B  959F E273 25A3 92D7 0FFB

for copying and pasting: 0xF8193F1260216B7DD53B959FE27325A392D70FFB ),
long key id is 0xE27325A392D70FFB.

Please import my new public key from the keyserver you prefer or using PKA dns
records. You can use this command on most platforms:

    gpg --search-keys 0xE27325A392D70FFB

(Unfortunately, GnuPG or/and keyservers don't really support search by
fingerprint or showing it in the import dialog so make sure to --list-keys
later to verify it).

I'd appreciate if you signed this new key for the web of trust (revokable with
check level 2 sounds appropriate since you didn't verify my government-issued
photo ID prior to signing :) unless you happen to know me personally and can,
for example, call me and verify my voice while I'm reading the fingerprint).

Obviously, verifying signature on this message, old key's signature on the new
one, and checking PKA dns record is highly recommended before performing any
further steps. Feel free to contact me if you have any doubts.

What this all means to you personally? Probably nothing if you have never sent
me any encrypted messages or received signed ones. Otherwise you probably
already know what to do with this information.

Settling the bracket discussion once and for all

There are quite a few ways you can format a multi-line function call/list/dictionary in a programming language. With Python (at least with PEP8) it's just two ways: hanging indentation and vertical indentation. The latter is quite straight-forward and I mention it in the notes below. The former one is what this post is about. Well, about a minor but important question of where to place the closing bracket when using it. Yes, style is much more than formatting the commas and brackets so let's settle this and move on to the more important questions. When using hanging indentation, the only true way is this one(*): some_tuple = ( # Nothing here, only opening bracket. item1, item2, item3, item4, # Several items on one line is acceptable though not recommended. item5, # Last comma is important. And never, never place the closing bracket here. ) # Again, nothing here but the bracket and it's on the same level as the opening line. Empty line after the o

Huawei TalkBand B2 review

Ok, so I've bought a new gadget. It was long overdue because I, being a MediaPad X1 user, sometimes feel uncomfortable pulling that monster of a phone just to check the time on answer a call. Of course, Bluetooth headsets are cheap and abundant but I don't really like the idea of keeping one in my ear all the time. And having it not in the ear usually makes it pretty much unusable. Various wearable gdgets that can show time and some notifications aren't new either, and there are a lot of cheap options, but, again, there are even cheaper watches and I don't care much about fitness tracking (I don't mind it though) and notifications (reading long texts is seldom convenient on a small screen anyway). So when I heard about the new TalkBand that combines watch and wireless headset I was all interested, read reviews, became even more interested, and waited a few weeks only because of the price and availability. The price, for most people around the world it might seem a

Russia becomes an internet outcast for some reason

It's starting to happen more and more often to me. I'm trying to use some service and all of a sudden I see an error page, sometimes a custom one but more often generated by cloudflare or a similar service, with error message effectively saying that IP addresses from Russia are banned on the service. And what is even more interesting, most of this services don't have any particular policy reasons not to allow Russian users, it's not not like they are publishing prescribed materials or doing anything interesting whatsoever. A payment processor, a popular online course provider, some random forums and information sites, one site with educational videos that I like (that one is especially funny because I'm banned from the subscription page and so can't pay them but their cdn does't care and I can actually download any video I want). But why does it happen? Is there some recommendation in some popular security guideline "block Russia, Cambodia, and Afghan
