Not that anyone noticed, but I have been off the Fediverse for a week.
My lovely wife and I moved house, and I lost access to the internets.
I carefully scheduled installation of new internet service at the new address so that it would be operational when we moved in.
On Installation Day, a technician called to inform me that a neighbor had parked his vehicle in the easement over the internet provider's buried equipment -- rendering it inaccessible.
Apparently the miscreant has done this before.
Now, the soonest the broadband provider can return for an install is February 6.
The worst part of this story is that I had to upgrade my $5.00 per month cell phone service to a $25.00 per month plan in order to get WiFi.
As a "very frugal person," this really chaps my hide.
Also, I can't figure out how to enable hotspot service on my 5-year-old Motorola Moto G Power mobile phone.
(The mobile company's service person told me that this phone can do hotspot tethering. But the toggle for hotspot is grayed out.)
Fediverse Hive Mind, do you have a solution?
