That sounds cool, could you share the link?

I miss the RGB notification light. I use AOD now, but I’d much rather have the little light back.I haven’t seen a phone with one of those in a very, very long time.

I haven’t heard of that YT channel. Added it to my highly disorganized 😅 list of things to check out!

This is really interesting, thanks for linking it! I fit some, but not other criteria. Last several years I’ve realized I identify a lot with ADHD memes, and having looked into it, I suspect I have ADD (ADHD-I). I just dread seeking diagnosis because “what if I’m making it up and I’m just lazy?” thought keeps knocking me down. Which is ironic, considering how many people with ADHD have this exact thought process/fear.

Edit: (all this is funny, because I’m convinced my mother and sibling have “classic” hyperactive type of ADHD and I also highly suspect my father is on the spectrum, but at the same time I’m not quite letting myself go get tested)

Sounds familiar. I would say most long-term memories I have are of traumatic nature. I have some good ones, sure, but I guess not many. I also remember random unimportant stuff sometimes. I would say I remember extremely little of my childhood and teenage years. 20s I remember a bit better, but much less than, say, my partner.

My father made it into a thing with his whole “how don’t you remember?? There’s something wrong with you”, because his long-term memory is very good. Mine is like my mother’s, I’d say. Anyway, once my partner said “how don’t you remember??” exasperated when describing a person we both knew, and that alone made me cry, lol. (In that case, it turned out they misremembered the name, so it was a misunderstanding instead of my memory.) It’s not like I choose not to remember. I don’t mind that much, but when someone nags me about it, it does bother me.

They were just lucky entrepreneurs.

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).

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Reading your comment made me realize I haven’t seen a house centipede in years. Odd.

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.

Not really deserved 😂 (For more info see my other comment in this thread.)

I can confirm that for Croatia it’s accurate to a point. At the end of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th century two separate towns had an outbreak of syphilis, and therefore the disease was named after these two places locally. From my understanding, in both cases the disease was mostly transmitted due to poor hygiene, and not much through sexual contact. In the second town, aside from the aforementioned, a bunch of kids and their families were infected because the local doctor vaccinated the kids against pox using materials from an infected child, unintentionally.

But otherwise for the most part syphilis was called Gallic disease.

I worked in customer support/sales for the largest ISP in my country. We were always understaffed because it was a shit job, so the turnover was high. We were forced to sign overtime, weekends and holidays included. I’ll never forget this middle management asshole who enthusiastically attempted to convince me it’s totally worth it. He does it, too, and he’s always happy to see higher paycheck. At the end of the month that overtime amounted to ~€15-20 for me. Yeah, fun times. I was thrilled to kiss that job and its abusive management goodbye.

Ah, this brings back memories of flashing Android with various kernels and ROMs.
