If you want to stop #BOTenkhamen (ruler of all #BOTS by virtue of the "first #BOT to boot is boss" rule) from launching #SkyNet, connect everything via #T-Mobile Home Internet. There'll be enough dropped packets to prevent computers and robots from working together to carry out our destruction.

#T-Mobile Home Internet dropped to dial up speed this evening. 50kbps down. Up is better, 2.5Mbps.

It still means very few of today's bloated, #JavaScript heavy sites will load, even if the actual content is a few thousand characters.

They are back. Someone told my sister that #T-Mobile, #Spectrum, and some other networks had outages in parts of #SoCal since last night.

#T-Mobile Home Internet has been "limited connectivity" and "no Internet" all morning.

They had a few weeks of very good connectivity. Now they're back to their usual.

The ladt couple of days, #T-Mobile home Internet has been mostly unusable. But last night around 23:00, it suddenly went from 0.0 kbps to 49.0 Mbps. I guess I need to change my sleep schedule until I can replace the ISP.

(Their home Internet service is priority 9, so anytime there is network congestion, those customers' packets get delayed or dropped.)

Today's current assignment* doesn't require Internet access. Wouldn't you know, #T-Mobile home Internet has had great speeds all day today?

* There are a couple of others after this, so this may not apply to the later assignments.

Kenny switched from AT&T DSL to Verizon Wireless. He says he's getting steady speeds about 25X whst he got with DSL. I told him about T-Mobile's version being oversold and underbuilt. He says VZW recently rolled this out to his market, so he'll have to keep watch.

Finally an explanation for the Internet slowness! https://www.reddit.com/r/tmobile/comments/q9mn9o/is_my_tmobile_home_internet_being_throttled_had/ [www reddit com]

Apparently, #T-Mobile oversold network access in this area. They obtained several towers in the #Sprint purchase, but must not have retained them all.

Ad showed up on YouTube:

$LOCAL_CABLE_COMPANY telling me that #T-Mobile Home Internet slows way down during busy times.

I know this, but it isn't just times I expect it to be busy. And I didn't know just how slow it could be.

Discovered something else about the #T-Mobile home #Internet. Besides being unusably slow multiple times per day, (I mean I've seen speeds from 7kbps down / 200 kbps up to 54Mbps down and 54Mbps up, but also lots of 0.0kbps down, 0.0kbps up), when you get a decent connection, they block #VPN data flows. You can connect a VPN, but you cannot send data through it.

  Attached: 1 image I was sort of teasing this story in advance last week, but this piece represents a truly mind-numbing amount of research and trudging through more than 8 months of Telegram chat logs from multiple cybercrime groups. "Three different cybercriminal groups claimed access to internal networks at communications giant T-Mobile in more than 100 separate incidents throughout 2022, new data suggests. In each case, the goal of the attackers was the same: Phish T-Mobile employees for access to internal company tools, and then convert that access into a cybercrime service that could be hired to divert any T-Mobile user’s text messages and phone calls to another device. https://krebsonsecurity.com/2023/02/hackers-claim-they-breached-t-mobile-more-than-100-times-in-2022/

- Free Software Foundation
Got an email from Devin Ulibarri of the #FSF (@fsf) asking us Free Software fans to describe why we love Free Software. The email even shared a detailed recipe for how to make your own "I Love Free Software" #ILoveFS video just like this one, entirely with -- you guessed it -- Free Software :P I used the #GNOME Cheese webcam tool to record the video from my webcam, the #kdenlive video editing suite to stitch the template and video together and render it to the free and open #webm #OggVorbis format, and shared the finished product on #mastodon, a social network built on Free Software.
I was working #DoorDash tonight, and #TMobile had a nationwide outage that left me without signal. DoorDash's proprietary app totally barfed and clearly wasn't built with the "what do we do when loss-of-signal happens" edge case in mind, but since I had the addresses locally on my device already, I was able to load #OsmAnd, an offline maps and navigation suite that is Free Software, to complete the deliveries anyway! Happy customers, happy me.
I eventually made it back home, where I had internet, and tried to officially mark the deliveries as complete. At that point, DoorDash's app was still giving me trouble, saying I wasn't close enough to mark the deliveries as complete (duh) but also timing out when trying to get on the horn with support to explain the situation.
I'm sure their API endpoints and customer service lines are getting swamped due to this outage. Hopefully I don't get any automatic "contract violations" as a result of this. Nevertheless, I *did* take screenshots of my geo location in #OsmAnd as well as pictures of the delivery locations, so I've got receipts :)

1. A video that features a static Valentine's day themed template with some text, along with a heart-shaped cut-out featuring a video of me (bearded white man with glasses wearing a blue shirt and looking directly into the webcam) talking about why I love Free Software. The text reads: "I [heart] Free Software because it helps me still make my deliveries when the official #DoorDash app barfs due to a nationwide #TMobile outage. Thanks, #OsmAnd! Your offline maps and navigation saved the day! #ILoveFS --Preston Maness, DoorDasher" The video reads: "I love Free Software because it gets the job done when proprietary software fails. I was DoorDashing tonight, and T-Mobile had a nationwide outage. The DoorDash app barfed because it was not designed for offline use. But I was able to use OsmAnd, an offline maps and navigation tool that is Free Software, to complete the deliveries anyway! [thumbs up to the camera]"
