[FRIAM] Gross incompetent maggots concast

[Marcus Daniels]

For my own work/home network I have a mesh network, but the latency it introduces is objectionable.   VOIP doesn't really work, loses words and is generally chopping sounding.
I ended-up dragging CAT-6 cables around.  It is funny now that one can get affordable 10Gb fiber but the investment to use that around the house is significant.
Must replace switches and upgrade to Thunderbolt-based ethernet, new PCIe cards, or just whole new computers.   Low-end Macs like the Mini have 10Gb ethernet though.

Until the next mass coronal ejection pointed our way arrives? I expect we will "soon" have proper mesh networks with redundant backbone modalities...  redundant structure at all scales perhaps?   But what would force/encourage us to do that?

2 is 1, 1 is none <glen>  or in the extreme "many is fewer... until it is also none".

I know people in TX who are naturally worried about the heatwave/power-grid-ERCOT problems there...  as Republicans gloat at how people/business are fleeing CA to TX because "life is so much better there"?   This segues (careens tangentially?) into the reports of women in other Southern States flocking to FL for abortions since their restrictive laws are *less* restrictive than the states surrounding? Does the Federalist Society (and it's ilk) even HAVE systems thinkers in their ranks?

And none of them would even answer the most basic question of what the hell is going on that would cause a quote-unquote outage that would last the better part of coming up on now three goddamn days. The only thing they would do is just Stonewall repeat the same script nonsense of well there's notage like wtf happened did someone smash a line or dig to deport you know this is not exactly rocket science here there's something physically wrong or something that would be causing a " unquote outage.

Especially if the only thing they will tell me is well it's an outage I mean what are they doing 3D printing the part and then importing it from booga booga no no no no no this stuff usually is at worst a few hours to to fix there is no mystery here they're just that incompetent.
