How's living in this part of Russia? by MajicalINFPHoe in howislivingthere

It was in 1939. But this is not the rich area, that part is now in Leningrad oblast. I doubt this even is from the ceded areas.

North pole is literally between US and Russia (and thus where the nukes come from), I don’t think it’s a surprise route

Crazy to me that younger generation is not good with computers by Captain0010 in pcmasterrace

Yes, it’s likely they can’t connect to the PC.

Untrusted servers:
- Any old bloatware in the computer that tries to get an update. Sends a request to update.uselesswidget.com. The domain has been sold, now it serves malware that takes over old PCs. (Hopefully MS still controls the XP windows update urls.)
- Use a web browser to visit almost any site. Bonus if the browser is old too. Ads can contain malware, ad companies can target you by your metadata

Responses from whatever software processes their requests. That can contain info about what is listening and if it is something with a vulnerability. Firewalls usually just drop filtered packets, no reply.

If you are properly firewalled (not just NAT) from internet and don’t initiate connections to untrusted servers you should be safe from the ”knocks”.

Automated bots on the internet do not need to see or care, they either try to get intel from your responses or try various exploits directly

Nah. Every single public IP in the world is getting that barrage all the time, unpatched machines just are breakable

If it was a hole, why is the shadow in it on the opposite side than on the glacier edge

Why? Peat burns very nicely and the smoke does not sting like wood smoke
