Near complete blackout and water shutoff in Kyiv due to attacks on energy infrastructure. Subways are not running. Massive queues for buses. Traffic jams everywhere as people try to get home. Businesses running on generators, candlelight/flashlights, or just closed.

Scheduled long power outages for energy conservation has begun in Kyiv. Elevators and subways non-operational. A lot of stair climbing needed to get to our high floor apartment. We've got a power backup system installed so we have lights, running refrigerator, and can charge our devices, but many don't have that luxury.

Coincidentally walked by the attack site at Національна академія наук України (Ukrainian National Academy of Sciences) today and took photos of the destruction in the aftermath. View quoted note →

Filled up on gas tonight. Something nearby was attacked so there was smoke in the air. Definitely feeling the anxiety amongst the customers and employees since gas stations are high value targets. We tipped the gas station attendant well. View quoted note →

We wanted to fill up on gas tonight since our car is at half tank and we usually do it to be prepared in case we need to escape at a moment's notice. Two gas stations that we visited in Kyiv shut down in fear of being attacked. Tomorrow is another day, I guess.

An hour after dropping my wife off at her office, a Russian drone struck the Security Service headquarters one minute down the street. I could hear the explosion from home. She, her team, and her office are fine. Several people were hospitalized and the restaurant next door was heavily damaged.

@GrapheneOS @Final My precise GPS location on GrapheneOS Pixel 9 Pro can't be found occasionally while I'm in Kyiv, Ukraine, rendering Google Maps, Waze, and other apps that require precise location unusable. My theory is that the Ukrainian military is jamming the signals when there's an imminent attack, which is confirmed when checking my wife's iPhone at the same time. However, there are times when there isn't an attack and my wife's iPhone can get the precise GPS location but my GrapheneOS can't. I've tried changing different servers and sources on various location settings menus, as well as restarting my phone, without luck. Any ideas?

Witnessed 4 explosions outside of my window in Kyiv, Ukraine just now at midnight. We're all safe.

Two weeks ago, @Vita and I became parents and introduced our first son into this world. Couldn't be happier and can't stop looking at his adorable face. 😍
