Technically it's now warmer than yesterday; but I don't currently feel like that, partially because I tried to unblock a frozen/blocked bathroom sink/bath/shower waste pipe; using an old hair-drier taped to a couple of long poles. It seems to be unblocked; was it that? Wtf knows.

So I was pretty enthusiastic about #DNS4EU at first.
Then I've discovered it blocklisted some random pastebin. Well, it happens. I mean, pastebins frequently get into trouble because of people pasting random shit. So I've filed an unblock request. I've suddenly got a mail to confirm registration in some random company's system — I suspect it was related to DNS4EU, but no clear indication. I've ignored it.
Then they've blocklisted my mail provider, for no apparent reason. It's still blocked. I've switched to the "unfiltered" version to be able to access my mail again.
Today I've gotten a mail via my backup MX. My main MX is up. My educated guess is that sysadmins using DNS4EU now get my mail redirected to their "site blocked" server. Isn't that great?
PS. Maybe if more people filed unblock requests for "poczta.ftdl.pl", it would help. It's a non-profit e-mail provider.

I have no problems with a site showing ads. I DO have a problem with the damned invasive scripts and them demanding I turn off the blocker so they can grab all of my information to resell.
HOW DO YOU KNOW I AM RUNNING AD-BLOCKERS. Any site that does that and demands I turn it off gets ignored.
Another block...

Another site wanting me to unblock them to show ads.
