  1. Our ABC quotes Ms Brady, Telstra CEO saying:
    “ "When our network fails, the impact is real. I particularly want to acknowledge the concern caused by impacts to some Triple Zero calls. Triple Zero sits at the heart of public trust in Australia's communication system.

    "Telstra has a critical role in that system and we take that responsibility extremely seriously. No-one should be left wondering whether a call for emergency help will get through."”

    And yet that’s how it is now. We’re all wondering now whether our Triple Zero call will get through if & when we’re in an emergency and need to make one.

    There’s something about this way of communicating, I can’t put my finger on what it is… it’s as if they’re talking AT us, trying to convince us that what they say is true… when the evidence is that they don’t believe it themselves. A sort of “boys will be boys” approach…

    Sure, no one should be left wondering… but networks will be networks… complex networks… & they fall over & calls fail… because that’s how it is…

    Apparently nearly half, “45 per cent of calls, data affected at outage peak”. The outage effects lasted several hours, & I’m still hearing from people about bizarre things happening with their phones.

    I just don’t feel this is good enough since we’re all so reliant on this network. There must be a better way to do things; maybe we have to step back & do fewer things but do them better; or have less eggs in the basket or more baskets…

    I had similar happen in a normal phone call with a friend 2 days ago. There we were, chatting away & the phone hangs up on us. Four times before we called it quits. Irregular intervals (after 15, 12, 4 minutes - didn’t time the first one). My underlying network is Telstra (Aldimobile is my service provider). ☹️

    Good luck with your call. 🍀

    While Ukraine is fending off #Russian attacks, it is also grappling with a heat wave. But for Roman, who sells ice, it's a moment he's been waiting for. But with continuing power #outages, his work isn't always easy. open.substack.com/pub/countero

  24. Dear Friends of Linux,
    This morning whilst MicroSith and their death eaters were dying... I was busy.
    ​:ablobcatbongokeyboard:​

    #Installing the latest #EasyOS #Linux on my #Lenova laptop. The laptop came with Windows originally. No interest to me. I tried installing #Puppy Linux, as I am very familiar with her. Eventually however I ended up using #Manjaro until...

    My password stopped working.
    ​:blobangery:​

    Not sure why, I had the password written down but no use. It allowed me to go through a procedure of "forgotten your password". No, I have not!
    ​:ablobcatcoffee:​
    Anyways booted EasyOS, set up 'ungoogled'
    #chromium #browser, whatever that is and all is well.
    EasyOS is created and maintained mainly by Barry
    #Kauler, who also created Puppy and so I am familiar with many of the programs. ​:blobcatstrong:​

    Was on a
    #Zoom call and heard about the #outages caused by #Crowdstrike, or whoever is taking the blame and being bought out at a reduced price by Satya Narayana Nutella (whatever that is).

    Anyway I hope I am safe and wish everyone not effected all the best.
    🕊️
