Yandex — we'll think for You

image

Good day. I want to share with the community arose, and, unfortunately, is not a new problem when using Yandex search from the Republic of Belarus and, if possible, to obtain comments from the staff of the company.

In the case of Yandex, the lion's share of users from Belarus were trapped ByNet. Even when typing in the address bar yandex.ru hands, insidious, the search engine automatically redirects to the zone .by. Quietly, silently, elegantly.

This post positioned me as a feedback of the company, and not as the Haight, or unjustified criticism.

[UPD] a reply was received from YandexSupport on Twitter. It is at the end of the publication.

Unfortunately, Yes. It is the moment when companies make the decision about what is best for the user. In Belarus, as ByNet small in size, it is often necessary to refer to the search sample Russian segment of the network. The transition to search Google.ru or Yandex.ru have long been carried out with the direct address input and the user could get to where he needs.

Fresh screenshot, when you click on google.ru all fulfills correctly.

And then I thought, is taking care of me, do not give it to search the sample of the Russian Internet from Russian-speaking countries, or is it a special policy unit of Yandex in my country?

Unfortunately, disables this incredible "feature" of promoting localized services and markets only when you change your location in settings of Yandex on the Russian city:

And here virtual podezzhaem, for example, in nerezinovoy:

Shazam! From my third world country again Yandex.ru with the market and everything else. What is most surprising, when you change locations I calmly get to the Yandex.by and then back on Yandex.ru.

For those who want to test: you can come in large numbers in the settings in Minsk and to know all the hopelessness of the situation.

Gentlemen of Yandex, please tell me why you so rudely decide for the user where to look and what resources to have access? I know a regional binding, but if a person enters the address using .EN, he probably knows what he's doing, and if he doesn't, so screw the notification that he turned "the wrong way". Unfortunately, not everyone can think of "come in large numbers" somewhere in Russia, and it's stupid and inconvenient.

Please give Belarusians the right choice, at least in this.

P. S. For those who suffer with redirecting from Google .com .EN, comrade shifttstas in review offers to use www.google.com/ncr (No country redirect).

UPD1: Support Yandex Twitter offers to take a virtual travel, i.e. use "Kostelec".

Monitoring PostgreSQL + php-fpm + nginx + disk using Zabbix

a Lot of information in the network according to Zabbix, and a lot of bespoke templates, I want to introduce to the audience his modification. Zabbix is a very convenient and flexible monitoring tool. Want a hundred monitor, I want a thousand stations, and do not want to — watch a single server, take the cream in all sections. I would not mind to give to github, if anyone collects similar. It so happened that we decided to put on the hosting database wrapper php-fpm+nginx. As the database is postgres. Thoughts to collect data on the machine was before the purchase of hosting is needed, this is useful! Magic kick up the backside to the implementation of the system gave the brakes a hard drive on our VDS stations at the beginning of the script every minute, put the time and measured by the speed in the file, and then build graphs in Excel to compare to as it was/became, take quantitative statistics. And this is just one option! And suddenly the fault is not VDS, and our a

After writing this post, I was interested in the search parameters which you can use for convenient operation. Given this issue, in Runet I'm more or less full information is not found. But! It turns out Google for a long time and for all shown . Let's start simple — www.google.com/search?q=Запрос this is the simplest query, in which all options are disabled or parameters are used which are stored in your cookies. Next I will talk about the most interesting and used parameters. If you want to know more, you here . Even though it is called the search parameter, I will use the word token. So any of the marks are for the test, insert the end of the line (if your line is of the same kind as just above). Marker search by country &cr=countryRU Putting this token, we get the results from the specified country. List of acronyms used.
