Russia's "great crackdown" on VPNs — and a clampdown on Telegram's messaging platform — had an unintended side effect, reports Bloomberg. It "triggered the widespread banking outage seen across the country this week, Telegram's billionaire founder Pavel Durov said." "Telegram was banned in Russia, yet 65 million Russians still use it daily via VPNs," Durov said Saturday in a post on Telegram. "The government has spent years trying to ban VPNs too. Their blocking attempts just triggered a massive banking failure; cash briefly became the only payment method nationwide yesterday." Attempts on Friday to limit VPN use could have sparked the disruption affecting banking apps, The Bell and other Russian media reported, citing industry sources who weren't identified. The outage may have been caused by an overload in the filtering systems run by Russia's communications watchdog, according to the reports, with experts warning that major restrictions risk undermining network stability... Separately, payments for Apple Inc.'s app store and other services became unavailable in Russia from April 1, the US company said on its website, without saying why. Earlier, RBC newswire reported that the Digital Development Ministry had asked mobile operators to disable top-ups, which could help limit VPN use.... Durov, who's being investigated in Russia for allegedly aiding terrorist activity, compared the situation in his home country to Iran, where similar restrictions prompted widespread adoption of VPNs instead of the intended shift to state-backed messaging apps. "Welcome back to the Digital Resistance, my Russian brothers and sisters," said Durov, who has lived in Dubai and France in recent years. "The entire nation is now mobilized to bypass these absurd restrictions," he wrote, adding that Telegram would continue adapting to make its traffic harder to detect and block.

Today's anonymous submission is one of the entries where I look at it and go, "Wait, that's totally wrong, that could have never worked." And then I realize, that's why it was submitted: it was absolutely broken code which got to production, somehow.

Collection.updateOne(query, update, function(err, result, next)=>{ if(err) next(err) ... })

So, Collection.updateOne is an API method for MongoDB. It takes three parameters: a filter to find the document, an update to perform on the document, and then an object containing other parameters to control how that update is done.

So this code is simply wrong. But it's worse than that, because it's wrong in a stupid way.

When creating routes using ExpressJS, you define a route and a callback to handle the route. The callback takes a few parameters: the request the browser sent, the result we're sending back, and a next function, which lets you have multiple callbacks attached to the same route. By invoking next() you're passing control to the next callback in the chain.

So what we have here is either an absolute brain fart, or more likely, a find-and-replace failure. A route handling callback got mixed in with database operations (which, as an aside, if your route handling code is anywhere near database code, you've also made a horrible mistake). The result is a line of code that doesn't work. And then someone released this non-working code into production.

Which raises the other question: why didn't this blow up the logs earlier?
