Russia forces are outnumbered for invasion from the begining.

No surprise there.

Just block all outgoing traffic to AS15169 on your firewall.

Deadliest war on planet is not waged by humans, but supercolonies of ants.

It's usually needed only minor part of it. You dont need to code whole GUI library. Only what you need to solve specific task.

Software programmer usually need to solve specific task, not worlds problems. If you go too generalized you will need 10x, 100x or 1000x more amount of time and code.

Look at Big tech, this is what they are doing, they employ thousands workers that write millions of lines of code every day, only to make it work for every case in a world. And still can't compete with specialized solution.

Build things by KISS principle.

Dependencies will complicate system you are building. ( with things like supply chain attacks, bloat, liscensing etc...)

It's mostly pictures of cats and memes.

When I read satellite hacking I recall Tamil LTTE ,hack of Intelsat.

Yes, many believe so.On skin mobile phones powered by body energy.

Or it could be dead end. Smartphones haven't change much in few years. Same form factor, same OS. It is boring.

Sounds like guy is proposing usage of Signal app, and maybe "flashing custom ROM",

"special issue smartphone"? Good luck on that, producing your own smartphone . And you are going to need to produce it to avoid hardware and software backdoors.
