This is third-hand info, but apparently the Optus situation was heaps cooked.
Every one of their devices had been deregistered and needed to essentially “register” with their servers, i.e., a tower.
A similar thing happened with Telstra a while ago that impacted only Vic and Tas, but it took them ages because they had to take a bunch of towers offline and slowly bring them on so that all the devices constantly trying to re-register didn’t brute-force them and take things offline again
Multiply that by a few hundred thousand/million devices and that’s what Optus was dealing with... Oof
ChatGPT gonna make me younger I can feeeel it
Yes, but more relevant now than then, no?
I like having a quick view at new/latest from subs I'm subscribed to. Attached is an example pic of a widget for Mastodon. This way I don't have to open the app and scroll. I can see right on my home screen if there's something I'd like to click. Would love this for Lemmy/Kbin too with Bean.
Because you can still gain a general understanding of its core message...
Yea, and sadly archive.is couldn't bypass it either
I am outside the US, but it's the next big, global election. You'll watch it, I'll watch it, the world will watch it.
Yea it's a pretty bleak and dystopian future ahead. This next US election is going to be wild.
The programs (whatever that means) will just connect...
