I had a vision of the future. For no reason at all, during an ordinary eating of mashed potatoes, an elastic wave swept over me, deafened and discouraged, and when the wave receded, several phantasmagoric pictures remained in my memory. Which, so as not to forget, I immediately transferred to a file and now I will publish them.
I look forward to April 12, 2026 - the day that the first prophetic vision I experienced - to find out if it was truly prophetic or if there was a failure of the writer's imagination.
So I prophesy that...
1. Presentation of the "site with heavenly IP"
On April 12, 2026, the article “Hidden shooting with a virtual camera” by user nostro808 will be published on Habré. The author will provide a link to an unknown resource, which will soon be called "a site with a heavenly IP." The resource will allow you to place a virtual camera (equipped with a microphone) at any point in space and receive a high-quality image from it. The camera must be installed according to geographical coordinates, indicating the height above the earth's surface.
2. The avalanche publication of videos on the network
In the first four hours after the presentation of the “site with a heavenly IP”, there will be a massive upload of videos recorded using the new technology. Most of the commercials will be personal, but not all: several media characters will receive coverage. Many of them will appear in an inappropriate form for the public. Also, through live broadcast from secret facilities, several state secrets will be revealed. However, unlike media characters, no one will pay attention to state secrets due to the general confusion and confusion.
3. Blocking article nostro808
Five hours after the presentation of the “site with a heavenly IP”, the article on Habré will be deleted, and the nostro808 profile will be blocked forever. The real name of nostro808 will not be established: neither immediately nor subsequently.
4. Attempts to block the “site with heavenly IP”
Roskomnadzor will block the "site with a heavenly IP" six hours after its presentation. However, the site will remain accessible not only through TOR, DNS servers and VPN services, but also through any provider, despite all the efforts made by them. At the same time, it will be impossible to destroy the site itself, which, ironically, is located in the .ru domain zone, due to the indeterminacy of the hosting and site owner. Hence the name of the resource: "site with heavenly IP". On IT forums, this issue will come out on the discussion in the first place. The second place for many years to come will be held by the theme of installing a virtual camera at an arbitrary point in space.
5. The first limitation when using a virtual camera
On April 13, 2026, the first limitation will be revealed when using a virtual camera: it is impossible to specify a point in space above or below 2033 meters above the earth's surface on a “sky IP site”. There is no such restriction in the site interface, but when you go beyond the specified limits, the virtual camera is set at a distance of 2033 meters. Subsequently, the limit distance will be specified. The number 2033, 27272727 ... will be called "minimax h" or simply "minimax".
6. Sky IP technology
On the same day, through the efforts of intrigued enthusiasts, it turns out that the “heavenly IP” works on the principle of a decentralized Internet, parts of the program code of which are entered into the BIOS of computer devices. All computer devices of the planet Earth. How they are inscribed, science does not know. Replacing the boards with new ones will not give anything, since after a while (from 3 to 5 hours from the start of using the device), the BIOS turns out to be spontaneously rewritten. Various hypotheses will be put forward, most of which will boil down to a statement of fact: the technologies of the “site with heavenly IP” are beyond human capabilities. An understanding will mature in society that something extraordinary is happening to the earthly civilization. A new round of popularity will gain the concept of "Judgment Day" and interference in the earthly affairs of alien civilizations.
7 Sporadic Crime Surge
On April 14, 2026, law enforcement agencies will record the first crimes related to the use of a “site with a heavenly IP”. Mostly theft of personal property (after all, from now on it costs nothing to establish whether anyone is inside the premises). Also crimes of jealousy: two husbands will kill wives caught with lovers.
8. Reaction of the international community
On April 25, 2026, an urgent UN meeting on information security will be held. Statements by world leaders about the danger of using untested technologies and a call for Russia to "transfer under general control an information resource that threatens the stable existence of democratic states." Feverish two-, three- and multilateral consultations in a wide variety of formats. Leading world powers will seriously begin to consider the issue of blocking the Internet on a global scale.
9. Prohibition on uploading videos shot with a virtual camera
In May 2026, social networks, starting with Facebook, will adopt rules prohibiting the uploading of videos shot with a virtual camera. However, it is almost impossible to distinguish a video filmed with a virtual camera from a video filmed with a regular camera, so the bans will not work. Moreover, visitors to the “site with a heavenly IP”, without even posting videos on social networks, will continue to actively discuss the information downloaded from there.
10. The second limitation when using a virtual camera
On May 11, 2026, it will turn out that in some cases virtual cameras do not show full, but distorted reality. If a user is browsing a "site with a heavenly IP", then his shooting on a virtual camera shows a blank screen of his monitor. Thus, it is not possible to establish by means of observation with the help of a virtual camera what kind of information the original user draws from the “site with heavenly IP”. It is impossible to find out who has read what information captured on a virtual camera. In the mass media, this property will be called "protection from the evil one."
11. Prohibition on taking evidence in court
On June 1, 2026, amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation, the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation, the laws “On the Mass Media” and others will come into force in Russia, providing for all kinds of restrictions on the use of information received on the “site with a heavenly IP”. Videos recorded on a virtual camera will no longer be accepted as evidence in court. Justification: distortion of real information (“protection from the evil one”).
12. People identification technology
On June 9, 2026, a new technology will be announced on the “celestial IP site”: broadcast from a virtual camera from a photo. Now it is enough to upload a photo to the site to install a virtual camera at the location of the specified person. The camera is initially set at a distance of about 1,5 meters in front of the person being observed. The number 1,5333333 ... (the exact distance of the initial setting of the virtual camera) will be called "jump h", or simply "jump". At the initial installation of a virtual camera, geographic coordinates are registered on the site, so the camera can easily be moved to a more convenient position.
13. Publication of videos with statesmen
In social networks, videos with statesmen will begin to be posted en masse. Previously, it was problematic to determine the location of statesmen by geographic coordinates, but now, from a photograph, it is easy. Mass requests are of the same type, so the videos are also of the same type and, in principle, are no different from videos with ordinary people. Some revival is brought about by the presence of doubles among statesmen.
14. About the harmfulness of visiting a “site with a heavenly IP”
On June 14, 2026, the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation will convene an urgent conference at which it will declare that visiting a “site with a heavenly IP” is detrimental to the health of visitors. For the first time in world practice, the term "hypnogramming" will be used. A ministry spokesman will officially state that visiting the “heavenly IP site” provokes heart attacks, strokes, high blood pressure, cancer, diarrhea and a general deterioration in well-being. The population is advised to refrain from visiting a resource hazardous to health.
15. Technology to capture the past
On June 21, 2026, the “heavenly IP site” announces technology to capture the past. Now, with a virtual camera, you can shoot not only the present, but also the past - however, not limitlessly. You can delve into the past until 12:08:34 April 18, 1816. This time limit will be called the "Second Christmas". Why so, there are no technical explanations and even assumptions, however, for a cultural and psychological shock, one opportunity to view events after the "second Christmas" is more than enough. The world will freeze in a stupor, then, getting acquainted with the documented events of the past, it will begin to go crazy.
16. Law "On the inadmissibility of desecration of the past"
After two days of an information surge, which history has not yet known, the law “On the Inadmissibility of Desecration of the Past” will urgently come into force in Russia. In accordance with it, the publication of information about the past captured on a virtual camera will be prohibited in the absence of documentary (notarized) evidence. However, the law will not work: the opportunity to see the past with your own eyes is so attractive that it will not stop billions of Internet users.
17. Recognition of an external attack on earth civilization
On June 29, 2026, the UN Emergency Commission will unanimously adopt a communiqué in which it recognizes the fact of an external information attack on earth civilization through the creation of a “site with a heavenly IP”. It will be reported that the side that launched the attack is unknown. The Extraordinary Commission will warn the population of the planet: the data reflected on the "site with heavenly IP" is falsified for unspecified purposes. If the data is inadvertently true, then it serves to divert attention from falsified data.
18. New revolutionary products from Gostar
In September 2026, Gostar will launch the first Sky IP-related product on the market: the so-called lifephaser. The program will allow you to receive ready-made information samples on any person or event from a “site with a heavenly IP”. Connection to the “site with a heavenly IP” is performed via API, then the footage is automatically processed and shortened, comments are added (at the request of the user: captions or voice-over). Gostar's Lifefaser will win crazy user acceptance and set the standard for the new product line. In just a few months, Gostar will turn from a little-known research laboratory into a world-famous corporation. "Google" and "Yandex" will rush in pursuit, but will be late: precious time will be lost.
19. Lifehackers and comparazzi are new professions
By the end of 2026, humanity will gradually get used to the new reality. New professions will appear, such as lifefakers and comparazzi. Lifefakers are historical scientists who investigate the intricate vicissitudes of the past through its online viewing. Comparazzi are journalists and bloggers who specialize in finding significant (usually scandalous) events that are not found by standard lifegazers.
20. Emoucher - a new way to relax
On February 2, 2027, Gostar Corporation will present a new product for relaxation - emoucher. The program will allow you to generate videos from the past with a given emotional coloring and intelligence. In fine settings, in addition to the required emotional coloring, it is necessary to indicate the desired period, language and approximate theme. The Gostar emoucher will determine the user's intellectual level independently, based on the user's previous requests to the lifephaser.
21. Upumentori - the new art
On the basis of lifefathers, a new art is being formed - upumentori: a selection of documentary frames demonstrating, without captions or voice acting, some overvalued idea. The selection can be made on one hero, or one event, or one locality, or one subject - in this case, an obligatory sign of augmentation is a super-valuable idea that is guessed, but not voiced. It is impossible to challenge the materials of the appumentori in court due to the lack of the author's text and the strict documentation of the materials.
22. New government policy on "sky IP site"
The commercial exploitation of the “site with heavenly IP” will force the world community to reconsider its attitude towards this resource, especially since the “site with heavenly IP” still cannot be killed. The owner of the site will not show himself in any way and will not reveal the technology of the virtual camera, the process of flashing the BIOS will remain unknown. Moreover, a simple technology for broadcasting a virtual camera to any mirror surface will appear. In this regard, world governments will take a course towards recognizing the right to exist of a "site with a heavenly IP" while ignoring information that is undesirable for themselves. We will have to radically reconsider the tactics of the existence of political and public institutions, especially those in contact with state secrets (which, with the advent of the “site with a heavenly IP”, will become not so secret). In the Constitution of some countries, chutzpah will be prescribed.
23. Church of heavenly IP
In 2028, the municipal authorities of Quebec will register the Church of heavenly IP. According to her teachings, nostro808 is a new incarnation of Christ on Earth, a “site with a heavenly IP” is a sacred resource, Habr is a harbinger resource, and Judgment Day will come when the “site with a heavenly IP” is turned off.
24. Delimitation of people in relation to the "heavenly IP"
Public opinion about the new technology is divided. Conservatives will consider the "site with a heavenly IP" an external - most likely alien - sabotage and, pointing to "protection from the evil one" as an example, will refuse to recognize the "heavenly" videos as true. These people will continue to live as before, deliberately ignoring the information received from the "site with a heavenly IP" - but, by the way, only unacceptable for their psychology. Realists, on the contrary, will consider the information received from the “site with a heavenly IP” to be absolutely reliable and will use it, but again, as needed. In a few years, the differences between conservatives and realists will all but disappear, especially since Gostar's lifefathers (based on sampling and data interpretation) will be able to interpret past events arbitrarily. The number of people who want to check the correctness of the sample, spending personal time visiting directly the “site with the heavenly IP”, will decrease. Such people will be contemptuously called "climbers" - in the sense that they climb wherever they get.
25. Technology to capture the future
On December 23, 2028, the technology to capture the future will be announced on the “site with heavenly IP”…
At the appointed date, the phantasmagoric vision receded, and I remained in front of a plate of cold mashed potatoes, stunned by the information that had fallen on me. Would anyone believe the terrifying prospect before me, or consider it a figment of the writer's imagination? How should I know?! Be that as it may, my duty to mankind has been fulfilled: the prophecy has been written down and made public. I can take a breath and finish the dinner, so unexpectedly and inopportunely interrupted.
