Read me at Facebook (blogspot notice)

Recently, I tend to write my notes and add photos mainly at Facebook, so you can read me there — http://facebook.com/ssrublev — either Follow, or ask to be friends — I friend everyone who has a human name (not organization). You can also follow me at a number of other popular sites such as Instagram — http://instagram.com/ssrublev

Additionally, I experience unclear problems with viewing Wordpress.com through HTTPS. Nevertheless, I won't give up writing here as this is a good platform for e. g. posting Linux usage experience.

Google virus

I have infected my PC with a virus via Google Chrome extension taken from chrome.google.com domain. This is a real virus, there are many reports on it on extension’s bug page, and these are ignored by Google, virus gets spread from this domain, and one report say that it has a KEYLOGGER within. It isn’t recognized by my extrafresh-updated Windows Defender on extrafresh-updated Windows 8.1. It has affected my Linux OSes since it uses Chromium’s JavaScript. What is most amazing — it has penetrated into my hardware SoHo router and injected a viral hosttable into it! Redirecting popular websites like Google and Wikipedia to virus gateways trying to infect me even more. Infected router shows me virus websites on my Android telephone when connected to Wi-Fi. So, at the time, I am forced to hunt it and postpone my normal activities since I need to have a healthy PC to do what I need. I post research results and screenshots here: https://www.facebook.com/ssrublev/posts/780199955325517

Another demoscene classics

another demoscene classics

All this stuff has nowadays to be properly tagged and scrobbled to Last.fm and other sites as well as placed everywhere where music is placed so it isn't lost. BTW VLC plays it without problems on all platforms.

This "social networking" stuff began long ago with people wishing to create and exchange ARTWORK, not very much caring about politics (but being mostly friendly to each other).

Fedora 20

Fedora 20 is just almost perfect! It is very close to have all I want almost "out of the box" — previously there were series of things I had to tune up or fix for some time. Now it has all, I just have to press some buttons. Besides Steam with games, but they're on the go, and I am not very much a gamer. Of course, I use the right GUI — the MATE! Only MATE! Compiz is included.

It is free of charge and is constantly updated!

Theotokos Derzhavnaya icon admiration day

Russian Orthodox Church celebrates today the day of Theotokos Derzhavnaya venerated icon closely related to the history of the dramatical loss of Russian Monarchy in 1917 which caused many continuous troubles to the country which haven’t finished so far as Russian people are still under Divine punishment for their passion for spiritually malicious stuff like expensive cars, mortgage and other similar indecency—most harmful and disgraceful of it being huge disrespect to each other despite constant showing off to each other.

Kremlin aims to create universal wiki-based history schoolbook

This is a saved article initially prepared for Wikinews, but it was abandoned due to lack of English language sources.

Top Russian officials, headed by President Vladimir Putin, declared an intention to create a unified school textbook on Russian history, primarily by using Wiki technology, along with other measures on "re-thinking of Russian history" while celebrating 400 years of the House of Romanov. This was announced at a Russian Historical Society (RHS) meeting in Moscow Kremlin, where high-ranked statesmen admitted problems with modern Russian historical education and attempted to find a solution.

USA behaviour

Barak Obama supposedly have same-sex sexual intercourse cases despite having a wife. B. Clinton is a Saint before him. USA what are you doing? USA prosperity is based on total global robbing. USA authorities are criminals (they break their own laws that forbid robbing). They also publish false money. USA citizens share the responsibility for that. Their mortgage system caused 2008 global money crisis. This is mainly due to "mason" nature of power in the USA. As the president is gay, he is probably nervous and unstable in behavior. Praise God he has wise non-gay advisors. That, for example, won't let him start an, e.g., nuclear war (Nostradamus supposedly has some words on that).

In the meantime, The UK/Canada/Australia peoples' responsibility holds their Queen.
