If there's a way to rescue the company from any kind of Putin-supported deathgrip, I'll be glad to learn of it. So will a lot of other LJ users across the planet.

Agreed. I am much more attached to Livejournal than to Dreamwidth.

I hope not: that would be a particularly cruddy death. I have friended you regardless.

Who is this person and what credentials do they possess in order to be predicting such?

It seems that, as per its Wikipedia entry, LJ has been owned by a Russian company since 2007. I didn't know that!

I can confirm that the post referenced above contains a technically correct way of figuring out where a server is in the physical world. You can hide from such scans with fake addresses and blinds but I can't think of any reason for someone to do so in this case.

Bummer.
