@feld

@feld

building walls around memory management units since 2017

@vfrmedia @Elizafox

the STL outage is due to fallen limbs taking out the phone lines, mostly. AT&T fiber customers are unaffected because the fibre is typically buried.

at least it is at my house.

@Elizafox that outage is unrelated and is caused by ice storms

last night's event was zayo.

ironically, i asked this question of zayo a few years ago:

"hey, what happens if all the carriers buy waves from you and then there's a fibre cut"

"uhh, that won't happen because the circuits are protected!"

well, last night's midwestern US internet outage proves zayo was full of shit, now doesn't it?

@chosafine micro.blog isn't any better, it is a proprietary silo that masquerades as an open network

@chosafine micropub and activitypub are complementary; micropub is a C2S protocol.

@Troim

i think it is still a good introduction to the universe overall, future short stories could go into detail over how the contract platform has permeated everything

@staticsafe looks like Zayo has shit the bed in reality

Fleeting despair crossed my mind as the AT&T call center representative asked:

"Have you rebooted your computer yet?"
"Uhh, is there, umm... somebody else I could talk to?"
"Unfortunately we don't have a tier 2 or 3 anymore..."
"Do you have, umm, a tier 4, 5 or 6?"
"I can transfer you to our connect tech line! They know all about how you can hook your modem up!"
"I give up... you are telling me that there is nobody who I can just report an outage to?"

I've always wanted to be online and offline at the same time, thanks to AT&T I am now living the dream/nightmare.

IF YOU HAVE INTERNET ACCESS YOU MAY CHAT LIVE WITH AN AGENT BUT IF YOU DON'T THEN YOU'RE FUCKED
