Apparently my internet was out for the last 20 minutes or so, and I’ve been browsing Lemmy, working on a doc in Nextcloud/OnlyOffice, and watching a movie on Jellyfin without even noticing.
I just happened to notice that the Matrix rooms I was in were all quiet.
I guess I’m luckier than most, with rock solid internet. It’s extremely dependable. Working from home, it’s faster and more reliable than at my employer. When my kids goto their mother’s where they’re stuck with “the worst company in America” as their provider, they complain constantly about how horrible it is, despite it being “the same” as mine
That’s amazing, who needs the internet anyway
I had a friend stay with me for a few months. We’re both effectively working from home when the Internet goes out, I ask if he wants to watch something. He gives me this weird look like, “but you just said the Internet is out” we end up watching a movie until the Internet comes back, then go back to our respective jobs.
It was fun seeing him react to something he didn’t think was possible
That is impressive. I host a fair amount at home but do rely on lots of cloud services too. My doorbell won’t ring on all my smart speakers if the internet is down!
I used to have to rely on satellite internet, so I always avoided cloud services in favor of self-hosted options. Even without the draconian data caps, a literal cloud would cut me off.
I’ve got a decent ISP now, but I’m too invested in my on-prem stuff to change course. lol
That’s the ultimate goal, I guess.
GG to you.
When I’m home it is usually my wife that notices first. That said, when I’m away from home I almost immediately notice any issues. My self hosted services are the backend for almost everything I use. Just need to find a decent replacement for GoodNotes on iOS.
