Yay, the "good" (still very slow but not like molasses) Internet is back! ~18-hour outage.
Hope those techs are getting some sleep now.

Haha, terug naar good old coax netwerk
Slow Wi-Fi? How to get wired internet at home without running an Ethernet cable | ZDNET

Living on a hill without direct fiber or cable sucks sometimes.
At midnight our main ISP crapped out completely and then in the morning I manually switched to our super-slow backup ISP (like 8Mbps down, 1Mbps up) but that one also intermittently craps out.
Main ISP says it should be fixed soon, their "internet chassis" at another location shit the bed and they need to replace multiple pieces of hardware.

Alright, the internet is all too much right now. I'm gonna take a break for a bit and work on some projects. I have some organizing to do and some bugs to find.
The horrible things in the world don't change what we have to do. Our work is and has always been the same. They may make it easier to get other folks on board, they may make it more obvious that we were right all along, but they don't change our job.
We will do our work of building community, supporting each other, and creating the world we want to see. It will take as long as it takes to do. None of the news changes any of that. So I'm gonna take my break and hopefully come back after I've gotten some of that shit done.
Slow is smooth, smooth is fast. Remember that when you start to feel guilty about taking a breath.

Über die Gründung von Broadcom und deren Mitgründer Henry Samueli: #techhistory

Henry Samueli: Champion of Digital Broadband
In 1991, the few people who had Internet access at home mainly relied on slow dialup lines. Henry Samueli envisioned faster digital broadband. In research at UCLA and at Broadcom, which he cofounded in 1991, Samueli and his team revolutionized digital modems, enabling today's high-speed communications. Awarded the 2025 IEEE Medal of Honor, Samueli's journey from a curious middle schooler to a tech pioneer is inspiring.
