@thomasfuchs@hachyderm.ioLiving 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.

Yay, the "good" (still very slow but not like molasses) Internet is back! ~18-hour outage.
Hope those techs are getting some sleep now.
@hex@kolektiva.socialAlright, 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.
@cyrevolt@mastodon.socialTaking the ICE 218 today, all the way from Vlbg straight home, and while the part in Bavaria takes quite a while and internet connection is meh, I don't need to switch trains again and get to enjoy the beautiful sight. 🌞
Edit: It was not the slow route by the Rhine. =)
I am now seeing the sunset in Cologne. 🌆
@gwire@mastodon.socialWhy is macOS 26 Spotlight search so slow? It takes about 5 seconds to search the local Dictionary - whereas an internet search is under a second.
