  • VPN throttling: are you sure your DNS traffic’s going through the VPN tunnel and going to an external server, not your ISP’s?

    If they can see where you’re browsing, maybe that’s triggered something.

    If it was only for a few hours though, maybe they just had an internal problem?

    Give them a call and ask them. And if they’re doing something weird (throttling traffic), they should be able to tell you why… and consider leaving them if they’re not providing the service you need.















  • Yeah, an interesting piece.

    As someone who’s seen the internet arrive, watched the various battles (best seen on Internet Explorer at 640x320) and tried all the latest things (why use gopher when google can search immediately), then I do think it started out well

    But, yep, I’ve also seen the effects when the bills needed paying and realising that just taking things that are “free” without giving anything back is unsustainable.

    That’s why I contribute when & where I can… Arch Wiki, Open Street Map, a few payments to developers and independant media sources, helping others…

    But it takes some effort and I get it, not everyone has the same priorities. Yet.




  • If I’ve understood @surewhynotlem@lemmy.world correctly, this won’t need 2 automations

    When you exceed a max, I presume you’re triggering the AC to heat / cool, at this point you’d also set the “dontlogthisagain” boolean.

    Then, when you’d reached the correct temp range, then you can turn off the AC and reset the “dontlogthisagain” boolean.

    The conditional statements would then be “(is the temp outsode of range) AND (dontlogthisagain=True)”

    You’d need to check the logic is the right way around there, but - in my head - thst should work.

    Edit: actually, thinking anout this some more, you might not need the boolean, you could use the on/off state of the AC unit itself
