Update: we’re back online!

Heads up — internet’s out at home and cell service is spotty, so if I don’t reply, it’s not you, it’s my connection :-( Thanks!

Bitchat startet auf iOS:
Jack Dorseys Bluetooth-Messenger bringt dezentrale Kommunikation

Jack Dorsey hat mit #Bitchat eine #Messenger-App veröffentlicht, die ohne zentrale Server oder Internet funktioniert. Die App nutzt #Bluetooth und erreicht über andere Geräte eine Reichweite von bis zu 300 Metern (bei der Alternative #Bridgefy sind es 100 Meter).

Bitchat sammelt oder speichert keine Daten, funktioniert ohne Benutzerkonten und bietet eine Panikfunktion, die alle Daten durch dreimaliges Tippen auf das App-Symbol löscht. Geeignet für Großveranstaltungen, Protestbewegungen und Szenarien ohne Internetzugang, wie Katastrophen oder abgelegene Gebiete.

Internet in a Box - Mandela's Library of Alexandria

Internet-in-a-Box “learning hotspots” are used in dozens of countries, to give everyone a chance, e.g. in remote mountain villages in India.

It works without internet — like a community fountain, but for the mind — wirelessly serving anyone nearby with a smartphone, tablet or laptop.

Now you too can put the internet in a box and customize it with the very best free content for your school, clinic or family!

Ventura County (and Los Angeles) lost Internet access due to a Spectrum cut today. (I was not paying attention, usually the local radio repeaters fill with people complaining about no Internet).

Thousands of Los Angeles-area Spectrum customers report outages after fiber lines cut in Van Nuys

Spectrum said it is working with LAPD, and there is a $25,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest.

My internet is back before I return from my bike ride, so the cleanup is postponed. :-)

The internet provider Ebox have a major outage in Quebec. It’s crazy how a computer can be unusable without internet!

Time do to some storage cleaning 🧹 😀

PS: Bell is affected too. They bought EBOX few years ago.

May 1: #LaborDay. A day to honor workers.
But many still face unfair pay, unsafe conditions & job insecurity.
In today’s digital world, #NoInternet = no access to work, learning, or opportunity.
Let’s fight for #DigitalAccess and #WorkersRights.

Its now been one month since my request to switch Deutsche Glasfaser from previous occupants and into my name at the new house. They're STILL pushing my request around depts through their CRM, no actual progress, no estimated timelines. Simply the worst ISP to ever have to deal with. #noprogress #deutscheglasfaser #nointernet
