I found out recently that in Kherson there is one spot that has Ukrainian cell reception, but I am a little bit afraid to go to Kherson, I can't really explain it in one message, I would rather just stay here where things are relatively normal.
I appreciate it, love, thank you.
You can hack it, use something like a pan, put phone infront of it, so you create some sort of satellite and since you are close there is a possibility to get this signal from where you are. I know it's sort of Redneck engineering, but you can still try it.
I do look quite silly when I imagine myself doing it, but at this point just getting a cell reception would be pointless, I have access to my bank account through my phone and PayPal as well as several other apps, they were quite understanding and allowed me to enter my account without the phone number after I proved to them my identity via chat with one of their support agents, and today I got a stable internet connection which I hope will stick around at least for some time, because for nearly three months I had to jump through hoops so many times.
Oh okay, well then solution with custom VPS, is possibly the only way. But how they monitor the traffic is unknown to me, so I am unsure if that wouldn't lend you in trouble with Orcs...
I was fortunate so far, my friend, on top of that I am simple man, I visit mostly surface web websites, use services like Steam, which thankfully still operates, although I have to check it, Battle.net is down as far as I am aware of, but using Surfshark will help me use it.
I understand however you are in considerable danger based on what is happening. Shelling sucks. So I hope you will be at least liberated soon. Or you will take the trip through Crimea...
I am fluent in Ukrainian, Russian, English, and recently I started learning Czech because it's very similar to Ukrainian and Russian, which means that I will be able to somewhat speedrun my learning process.
I don't find it similar at all to be honest, it sucks that I can't really understand videos from Ukraine without subtitles. It's weird I am hearing something which I don't understand and then there is one word which sounds exactly like in Czech. Beware of "Slavic false friends" tho, because sometimes same words means different things in different slavic languages.
Don't worry, love, my only friends at the moment are all online and located all around the world, which I am fine with, that is how things have been for the most parts, that's how I was able to up my English language in the first place, although playing video games at a young age without subtitles did contribute to that quite a lot.
I am more concerned about Grad hitting your home or filthy Russians taking you away for some unknown reason. I don't know how much you are informed about the situation, but there is horrible shit going on there.
I can't explain it fully to you here, but I have done my research and I am fairly confident that at least until Kherson isn't being liberated my town and other towns that are located further away from Kherson should be relatively fine.
Keep us updated, please
Will do, sir, will do, thank you for caring about this, about me.
Sorry to hear that you are in that situation.
How are you holding up with all the ammo, and air strip bombing UA have been doing? Must be near by?
I appreciate your support, sir, thank you for your kind words in this thread.
Fucking hell, same here. So sick of that shit. Just got jumpscared by just scrolling up the thread.
To be fair I expected that this is going to leave us without power for a long time, because people tell different things that they heard in many different places, but I think it was close to 6 hours that we had to wait for power to be restored in our town.
Basically Russia gon Rus
Right now I can get anywhere I want, the only catch is that I can only leave through Crimea into Russia and from there I can go anywhere I want, my documents are prepared in advance, it's all a financial matter at this point, I was able to apply for financial aid from my government a couple of days ago, if I will be approved then I will be receiving roughly $50 per month, all I would have to do is just to sit in Ukraine until I have the amount of money that I need and then I can leave, although the odds are pointing towards me leaving to Germany, that is the most likely scenario. Thank you, sir, for caring about this matter, I appreciate it. As for my job, I am sort of the freelance type of person, although I used to have a regular job, I was let go due to nepotism, this was exactly two months before the war broke out, right now I make my money through being the local tech support guy who knows how to fix things.
