My VPN provider was successfully fully blocked by government, so now I'm using Tor Browser on laptop and it's working really well with webtunnel bridges - even YouTube working more or less good (if all videos suddenly become "unavailable", set the "new identity" and restart browser).

This month, I've used less than a gigabyte of mobile data. This is not only because I spend most of my time in a Wi-Fi zone, but also because mobile internet in Russia is practically dead. Meanwhile, almost all mobile operators are raising their prices due to the "increased load."

It seems the pressure has gotten to Piastri, and the championship is slipping away. Lando, however, pulled himself together and drove much faster and more confidently than at the start of the season. This is especially surprising given Max Verstappen's strong performances in the second half of the season. Oscar lacks experience, and most importantly, it seems the team doesn't want him to win; they prefer Norris. View quoted note →

Counter-Strike 2 in-game items' marketcap fall from 6 to 4 billion dollars in one night after update of knife craft mechanic. A whole industry of business — skin trading, which investors who don’t even play the game believed in — is rapidly shrinking due to Valve’s dissatisfaction. image

Tomorrow I will lose my family. They'll be ok, but I'll be alone again. In many ways it's my fault. Anyways, happy father's day to me.

I worked for a month building my parents' house, while also helping a friend, who was the main worker there. He has a lot of experience and skills, and I assisted, did housekeeping, and electrical work. I also cleaned up the property and built sidewalks. The air outside the city is completely different, and I wanted to stay there because I felt much better, despite the physical exertion and the cold in less than comfortable conditions. image

Internet is pretty broken in Russia. I can't reach my own website from mobile. Maybe shared server is blocked by IP, idk. But from home provider website is loading well. It looks like foreign traffic has simply been cut off or hardly pessimized.

My 20-yo washing machine broke down. Having looked at the reviews of modern models, I decided to call a repair specialist first. The quality is significantly different - judging by the reviews, inexpensive modern washing machines work without problems for 3 years, if you're lucky. Then you definitely need to repair either the pump, or the bearings, shock absorbers, or the motor.

Today I replaced the spark plugs on a V6 engine, which turned out to be quite a difficult task. And then touching grass. image

Nostr criticized @Wallet of Satoshi for its custodial nature and called for the use of heavy and slow #Zeus and others. WoS left Nostr and year later returned with the announcement of self-custody. Good job!
