A serious question for those of you who know these things better than me. With so many cities built on riverbanks, why aren't we using the rivers with heat pumps for both heating and cooling? There's a lot of heat trapped in water compared to air, so it should be super economical to build a heat pump and run a central heating system that will more than pay for itself over just a few years. Similarly, in the summer it can be reversed to do cooling for AC instead.

Oh, no. The word "fan" is actually just short for "fancier."

Are you a sports fancier?

1000 days since the Russian army invaded Ukraine, destroying its cities and murdering civilians, all because Putin needed a "quick victorious war" to remain in power.

I will never forget, and I will never forgive.

I just found out that "scout" in Norsk is "speider," so I'm officially a Speider Mann.

OK, so I ended up moving www.kernel.org to be served via Fastly and it's working well. I will probably move it back once we figure out what this okhttp traffic is.

Jeg er veldig smart.

Don't ask me why I'm learning Norsk, it's a secret, but my Duo username may give a hint.

x.x.x.x - - [10/Nov/2024:00:02:37 +0000] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 301 162 "-" "okhttp/4.9.0"

You know what’s interesting about this log line? It repeats 56,686,963 times in www.kernel.org logs for yesterday, across 4 nodes. That’s about 700 times a second, and this has been going on for months.

These requests aren’t intentionally malicious – they issue a simple GET /, receive their 301 redirect, and terminate the connection. From what I can tell, this is some kind of appliance or software installed on mobile clients that uses “can I reach www.kernel.org” as a network test.

This wouldn’t be that big of a deal – a single plaintext “GET /“ that triggers an immediate 301 is very cheap for us to generate, but the number of these requests has been steadily growing.

If you have any idea what this is and how to make it stop, please reach out?
