as it’s probably not hard to notice, i did a site migration.

i highly recommend this article from Wired - while we have to live with situation where such wealthy people like Kaspersky himself can influence ITU decisions, we have to have strenght to stand up and work to make internet free and independent. it’s kind of naive of course, but consequences of having too much money and power - scare me again every day.
