I really don't get the anti AC fraction

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.

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.

Cos it was YESTERDAY

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.

Kind of reminds me how the subreddit "2Balkan4You" (or what-was-its-name) was banned by Reddit admins, when it was literally full of Balkan people poking fun at each other in our own humor. It's one of those "people getting offended on someone else's behalf unnecessarily".

Dunno who downvoted you, but it's the truth, lol. Probably half of Balkan works in Central/Western Europe and plenty retire back in their home countries. The unfortunate situation is Balkan cost of living is inching closer and closer to Western Europe while QOL and wages either stagnate or actively worsen.

You can't convince some people. Just look at people with thyroid issues. Their diet and exercise level can remain the same and yet once the illness starts affecting their bodies, they start gaining weight. There's a reason support groups are full of people asking how to lose this suddenly gained weight.

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).

Pihole behind Nginx sudden routing issue

Reply in thread

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

Reply in thread

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.
