Позавчера начался крутой замес на GitHub, и вчера продолжался весь день.
Есть такая очень популярная JS-библиотека Vue. Реально миллионы проектов в мире её юзают. У неё есть консольная утилита vue/cli, у которой несколько зависимостей. И автор одной из таких зависимостей встроил к себе в пакет код со скриншота.
Там с помощью кодирования по принципу Base64 скрыто намерение проверить IP-адрес пользователя, и, если он из России или Беларуси, то стереть все файлы у него на компьютере, заменив их содержимое на символ ❤️. Такой вот протест.
Сообщество довольно быстро это обнаружило. И — я редко видел такое единение душ — китайцы, американцы, турки, даже, кажется, один немец — куча иностранцев закидала этого разработчика ссаными тряпками (сам он из США). Все его попытки оправдаться заминусили, отправили жалобу в npm и оперативно удалили пакет, а самого автора обозначали не заслуживающим доверия.
Вообще, open-source разработка это коммунизм. И люди, которые ей занимаются, нередко придерживаются космополитических и до некоторой степени анархических взглядов. Среди них есть противники государств в целом, как способа организации общества, и у них очень хорошие (хотя и несколько наивные) аргументы на этот счёт. Ну и они совершенно точно умеют отделять действия властей от действий и решений обычных граждан. А ещё разработчики в основном довольно умные люди, с логикой и критическим мышлением. Почему-то никто из американцев не испугался, что у репозитория ухудшится репутация за отказ саботировать русских. Даже наоборот: они резко критиковали деструктивные по отношению к обычным пользователям действия и заканселили чувака, который эти действия предпринял. То есть делали совершенно не то, что делают корпорации и крупные руководители в тех же странах.
Представьте себе: обычные люди думают не так и хотят делать не то, что руководители. Кто бы мог подумать.

#Ethiopia: Council of Ministers refers external loan agreements to Parliament, authorizes mining license deals
The Prime Minister’s Office said the Council of Ministers has referred three external financing agreements to the House of Peoples’ Representatives for approval and authorized the Ministry of #Mines to sign #gold and #iron_ore production license agreements, following deliberations during its 53rd regular session held on 2 March, 2026.

While in #Lugansk People's Republic (formerly Ukraine), I got to watch as their forces disabled the #mines placed by the #Ukrainian army; mines meant to #kill the civilians that were sent to repair the electrical power plant.
🚀 Iran Faces Challenges in Reopening Hormuz Strait Due to Unlocated Mines
Iran is encountering difficulties in fully reopening the Strait of Hormuz as it struggles to locate all the mines it previously deployed. According to Odaily, the country also lacks the necessary capabilities to effectively clear these mines. This situation poses significant challenges for Iran in ensuring the safe passage of vessels through this critical waterway.

🚀 U.S. President Trump Orders Navy to Target Iranian Activities in International Waters
U.S. President Donald Trump has announced directives for the U.S. Navy to search and seize any vessels that have paid transit fees to Iran in international waters. According to Odaily, the President also stated that the Navy will begin destroying mines laid by Iran in the strait. He warned that any Iranian forces firing upon U.S. or peaceful vessels will face severe retaliation.

Hormuz: High-Tech Drones, Stone-Age Problem
The West is selling a sci‑fi solution to a very old scam: Iran hints it’s mining the Strait of Hormuz, tanker traffic freezes, oil spikes — and suddenly everyone remembers that a 25‑mile-wide chokepoint owns the global economy. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer talks up fancy Thales mine‑hunting drones, but the fine print is brutal: they’ve got limited batteries, need to beam data back to motherships sitting inside range of Iranian anti‑ship missiles, and can’t “prove” the one thing that matters — that nothing is left in the water.
“The number of mines you need for a minefield is actually zero,”
says retired US Navy officer Ben Cipperley.
Britain’s defense secretary John Healey says it’s getting “clearer and clearer” that Iran is laying explosives in Hormuz, while US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shrugs that there’s “no clear evidence” yet — one NATO ally yelling “mines,” another pretending this is still a think‑tank panel. Trump brags that the US has “hit all their minelaying ships” and bombs Iranian navy vessels, then immediately admits Iran can just toss mines off other boats anyway and nobody really knows what’s on the seabed. This is what “freedom of navigation” looks like in 2026: everyone claims control of the sea, nobody controls the rumor that shuts it down.
Militaries do have mine warfare toys — crewed minesweepers with wooden hulls, littoral combat ships, helicopters towing sonars, uncrewed underwater vehicles, and now autonomous drone systems from companies like Thales — but they all share one handicap: they have to crawl, in predictable patterns, through waters that Iran can blanket with missiles, drones, and explosive boats. Clearing mines is up to a thousand times more expensive and slower than laying them, and the US doesn’t even keep dedicated Avenger‑class minesweepers in the Gulf anymore. So the “high‑tech” answer is basically to send robots first, then hope insurers and shipping CEOs are dumb or desperate enough to believe a PowerPoint that says “safe corridor.”
Iran, whose regular military has been hammered by US‑Israeli strikes, doesn’t need a blue‑water navy as long as it can threaten Hormuz with a couple of dhows, some midget subs, and a stockpile of cheap mines detonated by contact or a ship’s magnetic field. Just the suspicion of a few dozen mines makes the strait “too dangerous to transit” for tankers from any country — including Iran’s — turning a third‑rate regional power into the de facto moderator of world energy prices. The US and UK can talk all they want about “reopening” Hormuz, but as long as a rumor and a rusty sphere can shut it down, the only guaranteed safe passage belongs to defense contractors’ earnings calls.
