Better .su not .ru

.ru is but .com the other is european based.

.ru sure?

elithrar | karma 3463 | avg karma 4.03 · | 2022-03-01 07:21:52

Not all .ru sites are state-owned.

jampekka | karma 2192 | avg karma 1.97 · | 2024-01-13 14:12:37

.ru is double-plus-ungood.

What's the problem with .ru?

tn890 | karma 239 | avg karma 3.1 · | 2022-09-30 09:49:49

Since .ru hosts a LOT of malware that's running wild, and I don't particularly care to view anything on .ru, we'll just agree to disagree.

Good arguments btw.

Fun fact, besides .ru (Russia), .su (Soviet Union) is also still active.

swexbe | karma 257 | avg karma 1.46 · | 2023-04-29 02:57:29

.tv and .ru, that’s 2.

I don't touch .ru domains with a stick lol

arthurcolle | karma 4570 | avg karma 1.62 · | 2021-10-28 16:46:00

This could be seen as abuse by the .ru and .su folks

CRConrad | karma 2469 | avg karma 0.51 · | 2024-02-16 02:33:44

Also, isn't .ru still a thing? (As is .us, for that matter.)

aftbit | karma 4790 | avg karma 3.5 · | 2024-04-12 17:12:58

I thought they banned all .ru domains?

jamespo | karma 1488 | avg karma 1.73 · | 2019-03-10 18:01:38

Doesn't Russia operate the authoritative servers for .ru ?

armitron | karma 945 | avg karma 0.95 · | 2016-11-18 05:31:37+00:00

.ru was an euphemism, I meant the country [Russia] not the specific .ru tld.

rutracker.org is hosted in Russia.

libgen and sci-hub are using a more complicated setup with lots of fronts (in various countries) run by people who know what they're doing. I believe the backend infrastructure is in Russia.

The .is site does connect to .ru domains

andrepd | karma 17410 | avg karma 3.19 · | 2022-09-30 14:41:00

You don't particularly care to view anything on .ru, but you're complaining that you can't open a website (which you'd like to view) which is on .ru. What a bizarre thing to say.

Arech | karma 302 | avg karma 1.5 · | 2021-06-18 09:57:38+00:00

That's correct. However Mail.Ru has so much spoiled reputation that, imo, it's kind of a miracle...

jobigoud | karma 4124 | avg karma 1.83 · | 2022-03-07 08:07:27

I mean, the .su TLD for Soviet Union domains is still active. Revoking .ru would probably have an ironic unintended consequence of Russian websites moving to it.

so... 99piratelinks.ru ?
