There is this HoMM3: The Succession War total conversion mod for HoMM3 in the style of Heroes 2 which happens to have new factions for what looks like Heroes of M&M II.

It is a set of Java dependencies so a full data-bearing Ignite node will happily be an in-process part of your Java monolithic app or microservice. It has likewise bindings for .Net and some other languages but not so seamless as in case of JVM.

This sounds a lot like Apache Ignite 2.x, though it does not have SQLite's level of polish.

So you think it is in Putin's interest to make it harder for western citizens to disagree with western elites by injecting chaos into the process?

I can see qui prodest of this productivity disruption, but it doesn't point to Putin.

I guess the only way out for that judge is going to Russia, repenting their sins, getting some Mir cards and a Russian passport with a patronym in it.

Maybe they can get rebanked by some Dubai establishments who for some reason will not identify their new passport with that sanctioned identity.

I'm only half-joking because all of that is absolutely possible.

Isn't that the same as submitting your clone to fear and torment because you will not have a lasting memory of surviving all that?

What's the practical difference other than timelike distance between you rather than spacelike distance?

I will address some of your concerns.

Karl Marx was European. His publisher was European. His early adopters were Europeans. The evidence that Europe cannot be communist is not there. Soviet Union is a pinnacle of socialist achievement. It is possible that your communism will have mass starvation and hoe strikes breaking skulls phase which is not followed by space exploration and nuclear power phase.

You are miserable now, let's asusme. People were miserable under socialism (not all of them, but the vibe was off). We can't rule out you will be happy under socialism, but no facts support that even indirectly. It will require a leap of faith.

P.S. I was replying to much longer, non-tautological and less-borderline-racist version of your comment.

I glimpsed last years of Soviet Union and it was pretty meh.

I remember seeing anything in the street (a payphone or a playground for kids) and assumed it will only degrade because as a general principle, things in the streets are unmaintained.

You could say that Soviet Union was bad specimen of socialism because of these stupid Russians?

Except, Russia actually got 100% out of socialism with our space exploration, passenger planes and nuclear stations. It's just that 100% of socialism is worse than your average capitalist dystopia.

Hello! This is Moscow calling. What are you doing with these planes of yours now? Can you pass them under the table for an unspecified amount? Regards £ wishes!

As a matter of fact, I didn't.

I wonder if you can load a font from base64 string like you can with images. Then, one may write a pure js library which generates such font from a set of rules on the fly. Catered to a specific use case.
