The problems here is not that hardness, and not even yearly certificate updates, or bothering with new certs on every IP address change, but (as the commentator above rightly pointed out)...
1. Planned obsolescence built into HTTPS: no HTTPS-aware server device from year 1999 would work with 2023 browsers. Just because "too old crypto". Plain HTTP works.
Being on a buy side I am against HTTPS in such devices, but I understand the sell side's position.
Exactly those PIC18 devices, still in production and on sale, w/o any changes during the years: http://utronix.se/
Of course, no https, but.. it is not a platform limitation, just an undemanded feature: how would you get a https cert for 192.168.0.1 or a similar intranet address where those device suppose to work? They are just not for cloud datacenters
I read that from recent magnolia commits, it falls back to {12,1}ft for some websites (apparently, some techniques cannot be done on client-side, perhaps, they require proxies in particular countries or google network to impersonate googlebot better)
This is not a country that lives off taxes from the little people, it lives off the sale of natural resources.
Moreover, many people are in a grey area of the economy, paying no taxes at all: for example software developers making software for the West.
Looking at the ridiculous "sanctions" of recent days, I cannot say who they are directed against. In long run, they benefit Russia, preventing leaking of brains and capital.
Lyon Feuchtwanger, a Jew and anti-fascist who fled Hitler's Germany, lost all his savings in banks in the US, Canada, Britain and France. Because of the sanctions imposed on him as a German citizen. The only bank he still had money in his account in 1945 was ...German.
There are many paywalls not so easy to bypass as removing a hovering modal, spoofing User-Agent and Referrer or redirecting to Wayback Machine or Google Cache.

It is very possible that `gyrovague` is not `japatokal` but an impersonator.
