Meanwhile I’ve lost roughly a month from internet issues. My guess is you’re experience was unusual enough you felt the need to component where most developers who where less lucky or just remember more issues didn’t.
- rglullis 9mo ago> Meanwhile I’ve lost roughly a month from internet issues. If you tell me "I lost internet at home and couldn't work there", it's one thing. But that you simply went about a month without internet connection, I find it hard to believe.
- Retric 9mo agoIt’s not a single continuous stretch of one month, I’m probably significantly older than you, and I’ve lost access to critical services because data centers have had issues not just myself. Hell, on Tuesday I lost ~2 hours because Starlink was having some issue. When it came up I was on a different ground station and getting very low speeds. Not such a big deal except you never get that time back.
- esperent 9mo agoHow much of that was in the last ten years? And do you make any attempt to have a backup system (phone hotspot, for example)?
- Retric 9mo agoLast 10 years has been about average. I’ve used a phone hotspot some but it’s often not an option. My prior company wanted a really locked down setup on their systems. WFH required a fixed IP address for some god forsaken reason.
