Priorities in the time of COVID-19
When I awoke, I noticed that the DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) was back up
[1]. I immediately logged into my web server and did a traceroute back to
Chez Boca. Over the past few days when I've run traceroute, I noticed that
when we were down the traffic was always hitting the same IP (Internet
Protocol) address, and the short time we were up, traffic was being routed
around that “bad” IP address. But I saw the packets go through the “bad” IP
address and I realized that the Monopolistic Phone Company had finally gotten
its act together and fixed the broken link. I then informed Bunny that there
was no need to upgrade our data plan with the Oligarchist Cell Phone Company.
Now I can [DELETED-watch cat videos-DELETED] get back to work without
trouble.
