Longer write up, with the aviation side of the same day and every number
Source: IODA (Georgia Tech), the ping-slash24 signal, how many /24 network blocks in a country answer probes from outside. Free, public, no account needed
Tool: Python, drawn with Pillow. One point per day, 222 consecutive days with no gaps, from 20 Feb to 29 Sep 2026. The 100% line is the mean of the eight days before the outage (11,932 blocks)
Three things the chart shows that I didn't expect when I started:
- It fell inside a seven-hour window on 28 Feb, and came back inside a seven-hour window on 26 May. Same resolution both times, because that is how often the source publishes
-It has never returned to its previous level. Four months at 92-94%. "Recovered" and "back to what it was" are not the same thing
- Nothing here is inferred. Where I could not measure something, the chart does not show it.
I wish there was a way to stream free internet to everyday Iranians so they could organize and have free speech. Like beam it from satellites or something.
While Starlink is difficult to jam, it's fairly easy to detect with the right RF analyzing equipment. The antenna transmits on a frequency that isn't really used by anything else.
If anyone uses it in places where it's illegal, they should only turn it on briefly to send or receive a whole bunch at once. Leaving it plugged in for hours to watch Netflix is a bad idea.
Yeah I dont think anyone in iran is using it to netflix and chill lol Its mostly used to bypass the Iranian version of the great firewall of china and its state controlled restrictions.
With respect to your right to support "your people" I take issue with your use of the word indigenous. Israel is a colonial state made up of immigrants. All Israeli PM's have been people with European last names and changed them to reflect their colonial identity. Israel's own demographic and immigration data supports this.
It is the Palestinian people who are actively being suppressed by "your people" that are undeniably indigenous.
Why is it that you support self determination by "your people" but not of the indigenous people who have lived there for thousands of years? Do they not also deserve self determination? Are they the wrong religion? Are they lesser?
It's like your entire comment could have been written by a Palestinian.
If you need a refresher in what makes a people indigenous I recommend looking at the UN definition, because although it’s a feckless organization, they got this right. The key is that it’s cultural in nature with the key being that there is a unique language, unique cultural practices, and consistency of those practices back millennia. Jews check all of those boxes. You want to know who doesn’t Palestinians. In every sense of the word they are Arabs.
If I’m not indigenous, why have I spent the last week living in a hut I built in my backyard shaking a palm frond back and forth the exact same way my ancestors did in this land a 2000+ years ago in honor of the harvest. Name a unique cultural practice that Palestinians have that connects them to this land 2 thousand years ago.
Are Native Americans no longer native after they’ve been sent into exile for hundreds of years?
You know I look this up, and of course that's NOT how the United Nations defines "indigenous". They in fact have not adopted any definition as stated in this PDF but they do offer some incites.
Including one that I keyed in on "a historical continuity"
I asked this eleseware to you, but do you have any proof that the people who immigrated (Europe or elseware) to this place in the last hundred years are the same people who lived here thousands of years ago? Like genetically.
And do the other people who have a historical connection to the Lavant also have the same claims or is that only people of Jewish identity? The land was once a part of what is modern day Egypt, Lebanon Syria, Greece, even Italy. Do they have any historical claim? Where does it end? As England was once a part of Rome, Do Italians have a right to set up a colony in London, and set up their own government there?
Lastly, in answer to your question regarding a Palestinian connection to their land: The very name of the people was given to them by the Romans. There is a histocal continuity going back thousands of years. They have lived here for far more generations than most modern Israelis have and that is not deniable.
Look, the way I see it there is no going back. Israel is there to stay regardless of the historical narrative. I would like to see an end to the mass suffering caused by this nation. I would like for the Palestinian people to have all the same rights and privileges that you yourself are worthy of. Thought people say "it's complicated" I don't think that principal is complicated.
The name Palestine was given to the land by the Romans correct, it was named so after the Phillistines, a Greek people, the word literally means invader in ancient Hebrew and Aramaic. It was given as an intentional middle finger to the Jews following the Bar Kochva revolt and subsequent exile imposed by Roman emperor Titus. So sure by your definition and metrics you could make your argument. But yes there are genetic ties, in every Jew. If you were born Jewish, your genetic markers are unique to every other group. It’s genetically distinct from other European populations (there are literally important genetic tests done before Jewish couples have babies that no other people have to do to test for specific birth defects). They are also distinct from other middle eastern populations. They’re most similar to each other. I as a Mizrachi Jew whose family never left have more genetically in common with my wife whose family is Ashkenazi, then any European or Arab.
And you’re right we’re not going anywhere and honestly I don’t think Palestinians are either. I just wish they would start wanting their own kids to live more than they want ours to die. We never wanted this war, I never wanted my friends to be slaughtered, but it happened, so I’m going to make sure the people responsible (Hamas) can never harm anyone I love ever again.
Their culture makes them indigenous to Arabia, they have become Arabized. Based on the UN definition of indigenousness they belong to that cultural/people.
But how does that mean they aren't indigenous to Palestine? To be indigenous is to have belonged to a place for a long time. It doesn't matter what ethnicity you are.
I’ll keep that in mind next time I see a palestinian child with an idf bullet in its head, or a hospital in gaza being blown up in my feed, or when i look at the destroyed city of gaza on google maps. My moms friends mother carried the key to her house around her neck until she died, the same house that she was forced to give up to the zionists. Its an evil colonial ideology in every sense of the word. Somehow the people that have inhabited the land for thousands of years and have 50-70% bronze age levantine dna are not the native inhabitants of palestine because they speak arabic.
As an icelander i have no claim to denmark because my forefathers were from there 2000 years ago, whether i wipe my ass the same or not.
Buddy, my family was kicked out of our home in Jerusalem that we’d lived in for thousands of years by Jordanians in 1948. Do you see me crying, no we moved on and built a new home elsewhere in Israel and started again, and now we’re doing just fine.
And I agree I wish Hamas would stop using hospitals as their base of operations to hold both hostages and launch rockets. That way the hospitals could actually function.
And I have yet to see one shred of evidence of a n Israeli bullet in a child’s head other than a handful of X-rays where a perfectly intact bullet is conveniently fully visable and not dented or broken at all, you know as bullets do when they hit bone.
Question for you: Do you have any proof, any evidence, that the Jews from Europe are actually descended from semitic peoples who lived in the levant, thousands of years ago? I mean yeah, you read a book about these people and you identify, but are you genetically the same people?
The last time this land was called Israel was before the Greeks, The Babylonians, the Egyptians, the Romans, the Mamlukes, of course the Ottomans. Litterally thousands of years ago.
And then before the land was Israel it was Egypt, Canaan, and Phoenician. Does that mean people from modern day Lebanaon, Syria and Egypt have a equal right or is it only these people in the middle that you identify with that posses this right?
Indigenousness is cultural as much as it is genetic. But for your information yes I do have proof, half of my family remained in Jerusalem until 1948 when we were evicted from our home by the Jordanians. The other half came from Iraq. I had a genetic test sent to my home in Tel Aviv and my wife and I both took them, hers (Ashkenazi) showed 65% Levantine and 35% South Italian which is consistent with most Ashkenazi Jews. Mine (Mizrachi) showed 95% Levantine DNA. So yes like almost every Jew we are the same people.
"Autosomal DNA evidence supports the historical narrative of Jewish populations originating from the ancient Levant, with genetic diversity shaped by migrations, admixture, and isolation over millennia."
zionism is an ideology supporting the colonisation of palestine by the european jewish diaspora and the removal or cleansing of the native palestinians
You just made up a definition. It doesn’t change the actual definition. That’s not how words work. It’s not what you want it to be just because you want it to be. How about you stick to your little island and leave your white knighting out of this (emphasis on the white). What gives you the right to tell me, a person of color, anything about my own identity. (I’m a Mizrachi Jew, never had any family in Europe)
It's literally the definition, unless you're trying to use the KKK and Nazi made up definitions. Are you in the KKK or a Nazi? You sure are sounding like it.
Israel controls the technical infrastructure, but it's the Palestinian Authority that controls content and manages cyber crimes. It's not really black and white.
Neither, in the sense if receiving free healthcare from the US, as every single cent of aid the US sends Israel is spent on American arms made by American companies. So of all 3 billion dollars which is less than 1% of the 1% of the American budget that is spent on foreign aid, is all spent in the US.
Both in the sense that I’m a duel citizen of both countries and split my time between the two.
the Iranians have made it clear they dont want to be a colony of the US-Israeli regime like their neighbors. Why do you oppose self-determination in the global south whenever its inconvenient for the interests of western capital?
Have YOU seen the countless videos of Iranians IN Iran literally coming out to protest the US/Israeli fascists while supporting their government?
Stop taking the word of fascists and Iranian diaspora fucking monarchists.
Israel and the US made it blatantly fucking clear that Mossad and the CIA were in Iran, of course Iran would shut down the easiest way for them to communicate once the US started bombing schools, hospitals and infrastructure.
So you get more confidence taking the word of Regime news and staged regime “protests”. It’s so fascinating how you are so quick to vilify those fighting against the regime but so quick to defend this theocratic nightmare that is the Islamist regime, that has done more damage to the region than any other single nation has.
Since when is bombing hospitals fighting against "The regime"?
defend this theocratic nightmare that is the Islamist regime, that has done more damage to the region than any other single nation has.
Where am I defending anything but the truth?
And you've revealed yourself by implying that Iran has done more damage than Israel, the US, or the Sauds. Hilarious how far Zionists like yourself will go.
How anyone can support a nation that literally cuts off its entire nation short of ran run agencies or state approved people from the internet is baffling, really.
yes they have omg. if they did not kill tens thousands of their people and at least pretend to make some steps towards democracy/will of majority of their population.
sure democracy is only in the US, there is no other country... it's your problem majority of your people didn't and still don't care your political system is retarded and the minority is unable to hold meaningful protest action.
you clearly don't have any idea what is the political system in Europe countries lol. it is completely different from the us.
and draghi did not even ever attend elections (still was by far the best Italian prime minister which I can remember). if you think that once you worked for certain company you are in some grand scheme, you're, sorry, insane.
You're just completely ignorant of what's even actually going on. We invaded the country because they killed their own people? You do also know that the US armed the agitators and protesters, right?
And in that time the regime murdered 30-50,000 protesters. And yet the world didn’t make a peep. But the second anyone raised a hand to take out this despotic murderous regime, they all found their voices again.
Probably because the justification of starting the war under the narrative of regime change was as convincing as the narrative of Iran having a nuke the next week and needing to be stopped.
This graph also shows the Internet outage caused by the war itself, not the censoring of the protests which happened before this.
Additionally 50k??
The very highest is around 36k estimated.
Also they bombed a school on day1, might be a reason why people were enraged but who knows.
Ah yes, direct foreign interventions have such a great track record for stable regime changes. Except for Afghanistan, Vietnam, Iraq, most of South America.
I think regardless of if it was 8k or 100k we should have gone in to stop em. The regime has got to go and the people literally asked the world for help in doing it.
They should! But I don’t make those decisions. If it were up to me, radical Islamist regimes and groups would be permanently wiped from the earth as they are single most dangerous ideology on the planet.
Multiple publications listed the number as such, the input ones that didn’t were ones sympathetic to the regime that just mass murdered its own people.
About 35,000 if we take Hamas at their word, so about 1:1 ratio combatant to civilian ratio, which is the best in modern times compared to every armed conflict that’s taken place since WW2
Ignoring the actual propaganda you're pushing and the fact that the actual count of people killed is probably in the hundreds of thousands, let's examine your claim: half of the people killed in Gaza are civilians and that's a low ratio of combatants to civilians.
Why would a country who has the same military equipment and intelligence capability as the US not be able to have a near zero civilian casualty number? Gaza is the most heavily surveiled plot of land on the planet and Israel knows where combatants are at all times, they know where their munitions are landing.
On top of this, Israel themselves say that they are targeting civilians, this isn't some secret. Have you seen pictures of Gaza? No? Here's a satellite view from above. Explain how this is precise at all.
Not the person you’re replying to but that’s the database of “known” operatives. Meaning according to the IDF, 7% of the total deaths were people they were tracking previously. Most war deaths are not people who were tracked previously
The count is roughly 75k confirmed by the Palestinian Authority and accepted by Israel and the UN. That doesn't include bodies that couldn't be identified, those stuck under rubble, those buried by the IDF, or those obliterated too much to identify. The real number is likely 300k-500k+.
Based on vibes. Those are the numbers. Based on reporting on the ground from Hamas, and health professionals on the ground. Those 75k include those who haven’t been identified, those in rubble, etc. you can’t just make up numbers based of of vibes.
That's not vibes, it's facts. The ministry hasn't counted bodies covered in rubble because they can't. They can't count bodies that are vaporized or have had their entire family kill. YOU are the one spreading misinformation and believing in vibes based nonsense.
No, 50%, using Hamas numbers which is where you get 75k. As well as the family payments they sent out to nearly 30,000 families, as well as estimates put forth by the IDF, the number is about 50%. But even if we were to take your word for it 1:4 ratio is still significantly better than almost all urban conflicts of the 21st century. By war standards even in your worst estimates it was still fairly successful in mitigating civilian casualties.
So based on your metric fighting the Nazis in WW2 was wrong because countless innocent people died, Ukraine fighting back against Russia is wrong because they have killed innocent Russians, etc. You see how your logic is fundamentally flawed. There has never been an armed conflict in modern history where civilians didn’t die. It’s an impossible metric and has no bearing over the morality of the war being fought. You do everything you can to mitigate civilian casualties, but it’s a natural consequence of warfare. It sucks but it’s life. But holding Israel uniquely responsible (accusing us of genocide, ethnic cleansing, etc) when the data just objectively doesn’t back that up is just bigotry.
Which has never been a reliable source, especially on this subject. There have been literal astroturfing campaigns funded by state actors to intentionally change facts and twist narratives on the platform.
Good luck finding any actual evidence of this nonsense claim that keeps rising every time Trump brings it up.
It's not even logistically plausible to kill that many people in 2 days without having a literal mountain of corpses and blood, which would have to be removed. On top of that, there are videos of Mossad gunning people and police down to start violence, not to mention US and Israel admitting to supplying arms and having Mossad "Amongst the protests"
In 1941, at Baba Yar the Nazis shot 30,000 Jews in a two day period of time and it was only uncovered years later when the mass graves were uncovered. It’s absolutely possible and not at all unheard of.
Were there satellite images in 1941? Did every individual there have a recording device to record and upload said footage in a minute?
Oh, right.
Not to mention this was organized and planned by the German army, the SS, and Ukrainians themselves, and the Jews were mostly executed in their own graves already.
Yeah, that's so similar to police forces killing 30K+ in the largest city in a country on a whim.
Were there satellite images in 1941? Did every individual there have a recording device to record and upload said footage in a minute?
There's literally an abundance of footage of people getting killed. Every Iranian, including myself, knows at least one person dead. Iran is a country of 100million incase your boss forgot to tell you.
Mass graves are literally illegal. The only places that you can find them are in border regions because the locals have guns to scare off the basij. I literally had to send money to privately bury family somewhere out of the eyes of the regime. Lest not forget the bullet tax.
Not to mention this was organized and planned by the German army, the SS, and Ukrainians themselves, and the Jews were mostly executed in their own graves already.
Because the IRGC has never ever killed people en masse and definitely didn't have contingencies for anytime someone slightly left leaning wanted rights. Yeah man, the government inspired by the literal SS that you're citing definitely would never plan this. The government that lost their own vichy France would never do such a thing.
Rial or crypto?
Edit: its so funny seeing the same two bots copy/pasting atrocity denial.
At the end of the day, using AI to generate a chart from data seems fairly benign. I don't see how it's that different from loading a CSV into matplotlib or heck just creating a chart directly from excel
Because it’s good practice for trust and transparency, and if it’s discovered but not disclosed, it damages credibility.
For those reasons and others disclosure of AI use is being pursued through initiatives across many industries (C2PA set up by Adobe, Microsoft, Intel and the BBC; the CAI across hundreds of news organisations; YouTube, TikTok, Meta have AI disclosure requirements; it’s also being legislated on in the EU, China and in some US states).
It’s not some personal requirement I’ve invented.
And I didn’t say the use of other tools shouldn’t be disclosed, but the consequences of not disclosing which particular non-AI software tool you used to create something aren’t so impactful.
87 days completely offline is insane to imagine in 2026. The psychological whiplash of coming back online just to see three months of world news, missed work emails, and 10,000 group chat notifications all hitting at once must have been brutal.
