    URPad down, Wholesale Internet and Datashack also down.

    Thanks @imperio.   That's kind of news since the North facility was pretty much 90% of what was spoken about. Upside to this outage is routes appear to be over Cogent for now.   Haven't been watching the network much lately, but do remember and often groaning about the Sprint transit there...

    Welcome to the email party. We are growing in numbers. I use outsourced Cpanel hosts for now. We really need a current howto for a reasonable email host-your-own solution.

    BLUE VM down !

    That's such a great L3 post.  As bad as those were, sure others have seen far worse. NYC and the mass flood of Manhattan comes to mind with pressurized ducts that were flooded and masses of cable, power and fiber that must have resembled a very large spaghetti heap.

    BLUE VM down !

    It doesn't appear the fiber paths cross but instead the fiber which goes from Oak Tower to their Datashack location in North part of city exit Oak at the same point.  Somewhere along that path, some dumbo from AT&T was running a big saw and buzzed through fiber.   Too bad there wasn't some high...

    Yeah Aaron did mention that their own fiber was pulled from same street side.  Meaning redundancy could be taken out with one vault compromise. He also said they were going to go and have new fiber pulled from other direction in the future. The outage didn't effect Oak high rise location, but...

    It is a big, long and nasty outage. Going to be perhaps costly for a bunch of companies (SLAs, lost customers, etc.). There really needs to be some official insurance one can buy against things like this directly.

    Greenvaluehost VPS

    Ahh care to explain that a bit better?   Why didn't you get the login info in your email?

    Aaron posted to WHT saying it should be back up soon. AT&T idiots cut with a big saw municipal fiber. Big mess there.

    Providers that need reviews

    While I agree, it would limit reviews to nearly ZERO. One year with a provider could prove very different from the next year for many reasons. I take reviews into consideration for all sorts of things.  For hosting I like to see the responsiveness of ticketing/staff and how they deal with...

    Do you ever sleep :) ? I think you have the US covered pretty good now. Asia maybe now?

    Crossbar - Resistive Ram

    Looks *very* interesting. I see faster writes, wondering how the read speeds are. Current ceiling of 1TB is a rather low maximum.  Hopefully they can increase that.  Looking for some tangible view of a said device even prototype.  Form factor from the teaser leads you to believe this is going...

    Android Folks

    The whole "smartphone" thing has about fizzled for me. Battery life on all of them is bad, unless it sits idle. Forensic collection sensors and software is way too infested in the OS.   These aren't features folks. As for rooting the phone, best reason to do so is to block all the ads and...

    BLUE VM down !

    From Twitter: BlueVM ‏@BlueVM_VPS 3h Our Kansas upstream appear to be suffering an outage. That's why our site (and some of our services) are offline as of right now.

    BLUE VM down !

    Is it possible that BlueVM hosts their site in Kansas City with Wholesale? I can't tell where the packets go since they are hiding behind Cloudflare.  If in KC for their own site, that's the reason for outage - fiber cut. I remember them being a total Colocrossing ran operation though....

    Falling off the Grid, Mk. II

    Thanks again Aldryic!   I haven't sync'd Firefox ever.   Partial to Opera (aside from their javacript slowness --- which I don't see on my new workstation -- vroom).    I use browsers as throwaways too since prone to leakage, tracking, printing, etc.  But, this might have me look at Firefox...

    Well it wasn't me :)  It was you Mun :) Hadn't seen your post here (didn't refresh prior to post). Wii-Aaron - owner of WSI confirmed it is an external fiber cut by AT&T workers and supervisors of all sorts are on the site of breakage. Going to be a long day for them.  I don't expect being...

    Falling off the Grid, Mk. II

    F-Droid - that is a recommended "store" of open source apps for Android.  Found it accidentally a few weeks back.  A must have for Gapps free phones and those that are weary of sideloading everything.   Nice to find other, new to me apps with it also.
