My internet died today

The primary isp connection I use to connect to the internet just suddently stopped working. It appears it's an issue related to my area (city) and I'm only able to use mobile phone internet that has limited data. Worked for a short while, then - gone.
Edit: It's back. This was a temporary downtime. Fixed on isp side.

Archive of Our Own was recently taken down by a DDoS attack. They partially came back up with a message saying they're mitigating issues. They'll probably come back up later after things calms down :)

(solved) Still can't upload webp, not sure if it is implemented yet, no mention of it anywhere in the source code on github or in bitbucket issues :\

Recently checked newTumbl and found it got wiped of the earth. Gone. Not even a warning in email. Nothing. Didn't even had a chance to backup some stuff. Just suddently went down into abyss with everything gone.

Changed my vpn server ip

Google was detecting my vpn server ip's country as Russia while actual location it was hosted on was Lithuania. So becouse google was doing this frequently I was forced to change my ip so this nonsense would hopely end. Now I'm waiting for dns to propagate until the hostname is reachable again. This server also hosts my minetest server software and it will be unreachable on some points in the world for a while.
Edit: It's now live on my end. Should be reachable everywhere soon.

Clearing i/o cache on Linux

Running

sync; echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches 

under root or

sudo bash -c 'sync; echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches'

when using sudo helps to avoid some i/o caching issues when benchmarking file system operations such as duplicate finding. Meaning of values (from kernel documentation, https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/sysctl/vm.txt):

To free pagecache:

echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

To free reclaimable slab objects (includes dentries and inodes):

echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

To free slab objects and pagecache:

echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
