  • Remember when 30° was considered tropical?

  • Yeah, the Balkans have had aircons since forever for this reason. Meanwhile dumbfuck boomers in Austria are blocking aircon installations because "it's not that bad", so we're stuck with portable versions. Which are louder and less efficient. They also refuse to have split system with central units on the roof which are very quiet, because hurr durr too expensive for only 3 months a year. People are so desperate right now they're willing to vote for anyone who runs their campaign on removing the law restricting aircon installations.

  • Microsoft acknowledged a bug in the June 2026 update that displays internal file names instead of real names in Recycle Bin confirmation dialogs.

  • In our office building the A/C is on 24/7 at the lowest setting only in the server rooms. The rest of the offices depend on people's preferences. I think they change filters once every two years which isn't frequent enough.

  • Here's an example of an older tram. In some the window can be cracked open just a little bit, though.

  • It depends. On all our old and new tram models the upper part of the window can be cracked open. Not fully, just enough for the breeze and fresh air to get in. Buses have fixed windows that can't be opened. Trains — at least in my home country — vary: old ones you can usually slide the entire window open in the hallway(?), but the cabins, IIRC, have the same mechanism like the trams; new ones have fixed windows, IIRC, but they are also air-conditioned, so it's not a problem.

  • So, that might be due to your company cheaping out by not having the filters cleaned. Had that problem and as soon as the filters were cleaned, the problem stopped. But yeah, if it's 21 outside, that's a bit mad to keep at 16.

  • I've been in both — kind of, sort of. At least if it's too cold, you can bundle up (despite how stupid that is). But when one of your coworkers doesn't want it on, and you're then cooking to death... yeah, that's not fun. Same with idiots in public transit who don't let you crack the window open to let air in, because "it's cold/blowing at my head!!". Bitch, go sit somewhere else then or take a taxi.

    Who also happened to have nothing against exploiting other people. You don't get that rich unless exploitation is your business model. Or if you're a nepo baby (something something small loan of a million dollars something something).

  • Pihole behind Nginx sudden routing issue

    Jump

  • The bizarre thing is I already had it set up in a way it shouldn't have hijacked it. Worked perfectly fine for a long time. Evil DNS forces at it again!

  • Pihole behind Nginx sudden routing issue

    Jump

  • Pihole is my DNS server (Unbound + Local).

    I fixed it? After the issue appeared I changed Raspi's hostname to FQDN, i.e. pihole.my.domain. So it sort of makes sense that it bypassed Nginx. I changed it back to how it was before (just "pihole" and instead of my.domain I added "home.arpa" as local domain). And now it's back to normal. Which makes about zero sense to me, because I basically just changed it back how it was both before and after the issue started.

    Thanks for the help! It didn't even occur to me to look if Nginx was being bypassed.

  • Pihole behind Nginx sudden routing issue

    Jump

  • Hm, looks like you're right. For some reason it's completely bypassing Nginx. Traceroute to all my other proxied services points to nginx.my.domain, except pihole, which points to pihole.my.domain. There have been no changes to my configuration, this is odd.

    Edit: Local DNS Record for pihole.my.domain still points to nginx.my.domain.

  • Pihole behind Nginx sudden routing issue

    Jump

  • The FQDN resolves fine. I can still reach Pihole over https://pihole.my.domain/ and click on "Proceed to pihole.my.domain (Risky)", but the browser fetches Pihole's self-signed certificate instead of my.domain and throws a warning about certificate validity. Which it absolutely shouldn't, because Nginx conf for Pihole points to port 80, not port 443.

  • This month's Windows 11 update broke the Recycle Bin, OneDrive, and possibly your PC's stability

    Jump

  • Whatever the reader is called now. It's a known "feature". They use Windows Installer patch system to update the application, but for some reason if it fails to update, it just re-downloads the patch without removing the failed ones. Or at least that's my understanding. Allegedly (according to Adobe at least) it's a rare bug, but I've had over a dozen machines from end users where this caused C partition to run full and slow down/freeze/crash the system. And I'm being serious when I say some machines regained over 30GB of space after uninstalling the reader.

  • This month's Windows 11 update broke the Recycle Bin, OneDrive, and possibly your PC's stability

    Jump

  • Lately whenever someone complains their C partition is full, it's always unmistakably Adobe's fault. Their shitty way of updating piles up crap in the Windows Installer folder. Uninstalling Adobe and cleaning up its garbage, no joke, frees up anywhere from 20 to 40 gigabytes of storage. Insane.

  • And then we have mink trained to exterminate rats together with dogs. That might be the most entertaining way of rat extermination to watch.

  • I know it's a meme com, but they really aren't. In this case it's more about humans being "dumb". They try to apply the same methodology they use with dogs to cats. And that in itself is dumb. There are studies out there that treat cats as cats and yield actual results.

    Another thing is there's much, much more funding for dog research simply because dogs are far more useful to humans than cats. E.g. guide dogs for blind people, other service dogs, bomb sniffer dogs, rescue dogs, etc.
