    I wouldn’t say I’ve given up, but I think my forms of resistance are invisible. We’re seeing a ton of censorship and media repositories and resources being attacked. My spouse is a physician, and they may have been part of some groups of physicians on Facebook that did peer organizing, and that is no longer a safe space, so I use my sysadmin skills to maintain private social networks for them to collaborate on; I am also doing a large archiving service that is semi-private using zimit and mwoffliner to go into kiwix so the government can’t kneecap their ability to provide medical care that may include things dis-favorable to the regime. I regularly snapshot and offline critical resources to them via a network of crawlers I maintain.

      I recommend reading Every Man Dies Alone - even the smallest act of resistance is significant, even as small as leaving derogatory postcards around Berlin during the war. Providing support for those targeted by the regime surely goes further than that.
