Just a Warning about Russian sites

[tdstead]

Under the new Russian rules as oof 12/2023 to uses Russian sites you need to verify yourself either with your phone or a email by having a account connected to Mail.ru I got a warning saying you were giving this site full permission to delete messages from the connected account, i did connect and got what i wanted then deleted the account. I have set up a 2nd account that i will re-connect if need just for this use.

Looks like the Russians are trying to stop hacking and scams using thier sites.

What an irony.

 

[wreeder]

That isn't actually the situation but we're not allowed to tell the truth about what is happening in eastern Europe here.

@wreeder, I think that @oknotsen probably knows that better than the rest of us. He has a broom and knows how to use it.

 

[oknotsen]

My broom doesn’t have anything to with my comment.

But I at least partly agree with Weeder: Whatever happens in Eastern Europe (or anywhere in the universe for that matter) that has nothing to do with trains is outside of the scope of this forum. For that reason I maybe should not have made my comment.

 

[MasterTracklayer]

Perhaps. Anyway my reference to your broom was intended as a humorous reference to your authority in this part of town.

For that reason I maybe should not have made my comment.

If you have any concerns about your original (witty) comment then I would recommend reporting it to the moderator, the one who holds the broom.

 

[MasterTracklayer]

I LOVE that one, @pware! You notice that I also Loved that witty comment?

We should really make backups of content from external sites in case the sites go down or we can't access them anymore.

Don't believe it's allowed to share files after a site has closed down unless the creators give permission, but it's definitely good practice to save the asset downloads from third-party sites for the future just-in-case the site shuts down, as long as you have the space on your drives to store them.

I do that all the time. Every time I download content from an external site, I save the archive file to my external drive. I have folders setup based on country that contain additional sub-folders based on user, payware, etc.

When I needed to restore my content after my big crash last year, I was able to find much of what I needed right there in my backups.
