I’d make eye contact with him and fart. I did it all the time for like two years. I didn’t even know his full name, just heard that his coworkers thought he was a nut for complaining about “the guy who would fart on me in the break room”

at least ffxiv maintenance is generally announced in advance and done regularly and doesn't break everything else you could do


our isp is so bad that over the last several years i've had to create a bunch of poo poo to monitor it, like this tracker that checks once per second



at least it's not as bad as it used to be, i guess.

must be nice, meanwhile here's some greatest shits








call out a tech? that'll be $75. what do you mean "7% packet loss isn't acceptable", have you considered paying for Cox Elite Gamer That Prioritizes Packets So You Can Game Harder?




e: at one point, what started this whole thing, was several months of constant mini-outages. just yep, internet's down for an hour or two every few days, with constant loss even when it's working. we had about 5 or 6 techs come out before one of them finally did something other than look at it and go "have you tried replacing your modem with a Cox Panoramic Wifi With Device Monitoring? only $19/month extra"

that was part of it, the other part was a dm with a friend who works at cox going "oh yeah they actually put you and everyone else in your neighborhood on a single node, which is now super overloaded and giving everyone degraded connections. they're planning on upgrading the nodes but the eta is still two months out" (with evidence of such)

i mean, what is anyone going to do, move to centurylink? oh boy 10mbps down

One time I called Charter because my internet would take a poo poo on every windy day and asked them to go up the pole and make sure the connection was solid. The first guy refused to go up because there was a dog in the yard where the pole is. The second guy did not climb the pole, then came up and said the connection looked fine.

my mikrotik got 0-dayed and they opened up a public 8080 http proxy on it

i got added to all those open proxy lists

which all the big sites subscribe to

so then i stopped being able to go to anything run by amazon, netflix or google

Called up Comcast and asked them to issue me a new ip, i fixed the hack, we good now

after SEVEN HOURS on the phone trying to explain to 3 tiers of people what an IP was, i got told no

(so i just bought a month of vpn)

Jonny, you can probably just request a new cable modem with a new MAC address and get a new IP that way

honestly at that point just turn off your modem for an hour and maybe they'll reassign you a new one, who knows. sometimes it works.
