   My comcast cable modem service has been out all day, reported as a widespread outage in the area due to “network damage”. A comcast truck has been stopping at each one of the connection boxes in the street this evening. They finally got to ours. I watched the tech take the cover off, fiddle with some fittings on the cables, walk around his truck a few times, but the cover back on the box, then sit in his truck and I got a notice that me service was restored. Except it wasn’t. Now comcast just says “everything looks good on our end! Please reboot your equipment”.
   So now I have to schedule a service call that will happen some time early next week 🤬

     @shadownetworks UDP packets don’t actively hate endpoint on the far end of the network though. But otherwise it’s a wonderful analogy

     @jerry @shadownetworks UDP packets don't give a shit about you. UDP packets can't hate you. Don't make the mistake of anthropomorphizing UDP packets!

     UDP packets aren't even real.
