The planet is fine. The people are fucked.
@zrail @thomasfuchs yea so a Future wifi 8 unifi express would be banned but a rack mount unit would be okay even though it's probably the same supply chain??

@ewhac we're is the official line between enterprise and consumer?? Is unifi express a consumer router and the rack stuff is enterprise?? Same software, same supply chain.

Routers: For the purpose of this determination, the term “Routers” is defined by National
Institute of Science and Technology’s Internal Report 8425A to include consumer-grade
networking devices that are primarily intended for residential use and can be installed by the
customer. Routers forward data packets, most commonly Internet Protocol (IP) packets, between
networked systems.

"And then I had a realization: the conduit through which I experience Molly's excellent work is totally enshittification-proof, and the more I use it, the easier it is for everyone to be less enshittified.

This conduit is anti-lock-in, it works for nearly the whole internet. It is surveillance-resistant, far more accessible than the web or any mobile app interface. It is my secret super-power.

It's RSS."

⚠️ Confirmed: Live metrics show a disruption to internet access in parts of #Iran including Tehran with connectivity at 54% of ordinary levels. The incident comes as the US and Israel target the regime with military strikes and will limit visibility into events on the ground.
⚠️ Confirmed: Network data show #Iran is now in the midst of a near-total internet blackout with national connectivity at 4% of ordinary levels. The incident comes amid US and Israeli combat operations and matches measures used during last year's war with Israel.
@deviantollam good thing "the police will meet me and stay with me while I recheck.". Sounds like it could have been a good trap of illegal possession of firearms in California.
⚠️ Update: With #Iran's internet blackout now past hour 280, the nation of over 90 million remains cut off for another day leaving friends and family unable to check in with loved ones. Meanwhile, traffic on select platforms points to an emergent strategy of whitelisting.
