My VPN started working. Yesterday, after I shared the post about it, I decided to check my VPN again. At first, my VPN client showed a long loading animation, and then I remembered my settings — I had changed them before, and maybe I broke something. Because of that, I restored my backed-up settings and tried to connect again. And it was a surprising moment: the VPN connected without any errors and everything started working. I couldn’t even imagine it, because I thought everything was damaged. Today I’ve already been using my VPN all day without any issues and without any doubts about privacy.
For the last few days, my VPN stopped working. Internet providers decided to ban the XRay/Vless protocols as well. I already tried to reconfigure my VPN client using Hiddify configs, hoping it would help. But everything turned out badly — none of my attempts to fix it brought any results. After that, I simply hoped that maybe after a few days it would start working again, but unfortunately nothing happened. My VPN still doesn’t work, and I’m starting to doubt it will ever work again. I also read some news channels about this, and they said that even China hasn’t banned this protocol. But in Russia they went even further and managed to block it.
My morning started with snow again. When I woke up and looked out of the window, everything was white. Honestly, all of it surprised me a little; I couldn’t even imagine snow, because last evening and night it was +3 to +5 degrees. And today the air temperature was still a bit high, and it didn’t make me happy, because drops were falling from the roofs and everything was wet. Also, the weather was not comfortable, even though the temperature was on the plus side. Everything was gray, dirty, and wet, and the sky was covered with clouds, but fortunately it wasn’t raining like yesterday.
Today I woke up a bit late, around 9:35 AM, and when I came to the window I saw rainy weather outside. Honestly, it didn’t surprise me, because I had already noticed it during the night around 1 AM. At that time, I had just finished watching a video about WW2 and wanted to go to bed. Also, yesterday I bragged about the good weather and how I saw the sun every morning. And today I saw just a rainy, cold, and gray day through my window. Well, okay, it’s not a problem for me and I don’t want to whine about it.
Today my day was quite simple, and the weather was pretty sunny. Even though it was sunny, I could only go for a walk after 2 PM. I walked for about two hours, and the air temperature was very cold — around 0 or 1°C. Even though the temperature was a bit uncomfortable, I decided to keep walking because the sun was shining in the sky, and sometimes while I walked, it warmed my black coat, so I felt warm.
Even though the day was cloudy, I decided to go for a bike ride because I didn’t want to spend my weekend at home. I didn’t bring my GoPro, though, because I’ve already filmed all the interesting places. Another reason is that the GoPro doesn’t record very well when the weather isn’t good enough. So I rode my bike for more than four hours today. For about thirty minutes, I just read Reddit and relaxed — it was a new experience for me, reading Reddit and practicing English in the fresh air. During my ride, I also met one of my classmates. The last time I saw him was at our graduation event, which was more than ten years ago!
This day was a little bit unsuccessful because I spent all day working on my task. It was a bit frustrating because I couldn’t find the right solution. Right now, I have no idea how to complete it correctly. Briefly, this task is about cache, and it’s not working correctly. When the user updates or adds new items, they only see the old items without the updates. I spent the entire day on this task, and I hope that tomorrow I can ask my colleagues about it during our meeting.
The day was sunny and warm. As I mentioned yesterday, I planned to repeat the same route where I had previously broken my bike. Luckily, I managed to do it this time. During the second part of the day, from 12 p.m. until 3 p.m., I rode my bicycle. Along the way, I visited Black Lake and some other places where I also walked. In total, I rode about 13 kilometers. I also recorded a video on my GoPro, but I’m not sure when I’ll publish it. I still haven’t uploaded my travel videos from Portugal, Germany, the Czech Republic, Austria, Italy, Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore, and the UAE, because I haven’t found enough time for editing, and my laptop is very slow for video processing.
When I got up, I didn’t have much time to get ready for work. I quickly brushed my teeth and washed my face because I was already a little bit late. I only had 10–15 minutes before work started, so my morning was super rushed. I couldn’t even eat breakfast. I just drank some filtered water with lemon and tried a small piece of waffle. I also couldn’t watch my daily show “Good Morning America”, which I usually watch every day during breakfast. This happened because last night I spent the whole night learning the Google Maps API, trying to figure out how to draw my flights. Luckily, everything was successful—I finally understood it, and soon I’ll update my map and show all my flights.
Today my morning surprised me again. It was very sunny outside, and I didn’t see a single cloud in the sky. The sky was ridiculously clear and blue. However, the temperature was lower, approximately 5–10 degrees. Even when I went to my balcony with my mug of water, I immediately felt how the cold started to freeze me. Therefore, I couldn’t stay there long and enjoy the sunny weather. Yes, I could have worn my coat, pants, and woolen socks, but I didn’t — I don’t know why. If tomorrow is the same, maybe I’ll wear my winter clothes… if I can find them.
Hey, today the first half of the day was cloudy and rainy, so I could only go for a walk after 2 PM. I walked until 4 PM. The first part of my walk was in Sabantuy Park. There, I saw people rollerblading on the road near the forest, some were jogging, and others were just walking, enjoying the warm, beautiful autumn day.
After all these busy days, today I was able to go to the forest and ride my bike. Usually I walk, but today I decided to take my bicycle, because this year I haven’t ridden it much. I wanted to enjoy the last few warm and sunny days with my bike.
