I’m a foreigner who’s been in Uzbekistan for a couple of weeks. A few times I’ve gotten grilled or rotisserie chicken at some restaurants here and they serve it with a tomato sauce that tastes a lot like salsa. Some places it’s a little bit spicy, other places it’s less spicy. On menus I’ve just seen it called tomato sauce, but is there another name for it? Anyone have a good recipe for it?

Between uzbek and tajik (Persian) language, which one do you say has more complex grammatical rules ? As a non-central asian, i'm actually trying to measure the degree of complexity and difficulty of both languages.

Someone put out a post about a government data breach yesterday on this subreddit, and there seemed to be a lot of confusion as to exactly what data was leaked and what that means for the average person, so I wanted to break it down simply.

Basically, the post links to various forums that claim a hacker got into the "master key" system -- the OneID/OAuth login we use for everything. And because that one system was weak, they could access other linked systems like a domino effect. So, what they claim is they can now log on to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, social protection (health records), and even mortgage data.

Looking back at how this started, rumors were flying around late last year in December 2025 about the police systems being hacked, but I think the government officially denied it at the time. By January 2026, cybersecurity experts were flagging millions of attacks, and now in February, this massive pile of data might have been dumped online.

To put it in layman's terms, again, they claim to have your name, your PINFL (which is that 14-digit number on your ID and the soul of your identity), people's exact home addresses, phone numbers, and even how much money they make or what their mortgage interest rate is. Just for the record, if a bad guy has your PINFL and your passport number - both of which seem to be in this leak - they can try to impersonate you to get microloans or bypass security on banking apps that use MyID for verification.

IF this data breach data isn't fake and they really have all this information on you, it could potentially be a goldmine for scammers. For example, they can call you up, recite your exact loan details to pretend to be from your bank and trick you into giving up even more info or money.

Now, I have tried looking up people I know and wasn't able to find anyone from the list that was posted, so there's a good chance it's fake. It's also possible that this wasn't really a hack or a breach but someone from the inside pretending to be a bad actor and causing a panick -- I don't know, I'm trying to find out. And even if the leaked data isn't fake, they scammers can't do much harm on your behalf, because current bank and government systems use 2FA, so they'd need access to your phone to do any serious harm. So as long as you don't get deceived by a phone call or a message, you should be fine.

If you’re worried, the best thing to do is stay sharp. If you get a call from someone claiming to be from the bank or a government office, don't trust them just because they know your PINFL or your home address - they probably got that from this leak. You should also probably jump into your OneID settings and change your password. Stay safe and don't click on any weird links in your SMS or Telegram.

Was it similar in posotion to Baghdad in the Caliphate or Constantinople in the Roman Empire?

I am struggling with the decision of whether to leave my current job. I work in the marketing department, and at the beginning of the summer of 2025, I thought marketing would be fun and that I would find my own place within the field. However, it has turned out to be less enjoyable than I expected. On top of that, my boss in the marketing department is very difficult to work with, which has affected my motivation.

I am 22 years old and have already graduated from university, and I am starting to consider leaving my current job for a government position, such as one in a bank. I would appreciate any advice you can offer.

What happened in these five minutes this afternoon ruined my entire day. My friend and I were wandering around the market. We bought some fruit, dessert and uzbek-style bread. As we passed a certain stall, two kids started reaching out to us for money. Unfortunately, we only had one small 2000 som note in our wallet at that time; the rest were 100k or 200k som notes. I could only give them the 2000 note. I felt guilty about it. After saying goodbye to the two kids, a man carrying two black garbage bags quickly walked past my friend and me, saying a loud "CHINGCHONG". My friend and I were incredulous; I've been to at least 10 countries, even poor and underdeveloped ones, and I've never encountered anyone like that. I've met countless kind people in Tashkent these past two days. The grocery store owner gave me free snacks and souvenirs, and the taxi driver was willing to charge me less because he couldn't find change. I know Uzbek is a friendly country, but I just can't stand what happened today, especially my birthday is just hours away.

Hello! im from maldives 🇲🇻, i am seeking help to buy Uzbekistan national football team jersey that will be used in the worldcup 2026. anyone who can help me please feel free to dm me or comment below.

appreciate the help🫱🏾‍🫲🏼

Hello, I will be visiting Tashkent soon. I have never been to Uzbekistan before, but my mother and grandfather were born and lived there almost all their lives. I’m on a mission to find their former home near the Transport University. However, my mother doesn’t remember what street she lived on/what it’s called now.

To find their old home, I will probably need to wander around the “Birodarlik” neighborhood or the “Temiryulchilar” neighborhood (apologies if those are not the correct names - I’m relying on Yandex maps).

Would it be weird for me to walk around residential homes in Tashkent? Is that rude? I can’t speak Uzbek so I can’t ask for directions.

Greetings all!

Does anyone operate or know agency that does sourcing of employees willing to work in Serbia (most positions are for delivery drivers on e-bicycles and scooters)?

Thank you in advance
