My ISP has many SPF (single points of failure

First start with terms FTTC FTTH (FTTP also) Check the wikipedia page.

About 26hrs ago (exactly at 02:01) the following services of my ISP died all together in sync

VOIP (phone voice) XDSL GSM LTE+. I noticed the warning my router gave & the gateway going red and dead. No calls were possible, since the GSM networks also died for me.

How? FTTC we have FTTC small expensive boxes (1.30m 40cm 1.20m) besides the streets. Mine dropped itself hard along with wireless servers in my area. Why? Neglected maintanance. Result catastropic drop of ALL services for 2+hours!

I went into comms survival mode (with my tranceivers) Those were fine of course. Why is there no second route to the servers when my main FTTC box fails? Greed & logistics.

The ISP never told me what happened. A friend inside gave me some data. As a monopolist th ISP has too much technical power over us. There's a FTTH project running, which will at least drop the FTTC network boxes besides the roads. However that project should have been FTTH only. Instead they made a terrible mix of FTTH & FTTC. The mix was made with corruption in the background because the FTTC network is cheaper. Also when they put you on the FTTH network they still deliver absimal XDSL speeds.

The provider has also made a mistake of putting the network FTTH above ground. So every time someone slams the telephone poles down that Network also goes down with all your communications. That means you will have no VoIP no Data, which means a total cut off from what could be a lifeline, when it comes down to the VoIP service, for which the phone providers on my continent still have to give 48 volts of DC power to the phone lines for a whole week after power utility has been cut off. They are forced to do so by Law of the Land.

A warmed up composition of my working A1200 Amiga computer, never used because my A4000T blows the socks of this one

The A4000T has a Cyberstorm060 accellerator on it with 128GB local ram while there is 2X8GB ram on the main board

The Picasso96 accelerator of the A4000T died which I why I stopped using it

TIL that photos can be exported with one command at google. I can't use it because of the instability that my local miniPC has. I have to manually decide which chunks I download by tagging them by the day, a dreaded and dull, but important task.

Even though it seems logical that there is a one knob export command, it's not obviously found at Google Photos because you have to go dig deep into the settings first

An Announcement from Iron Maiden

As The Future Past Tour concludes after 81 shows to over 1.4 million fans, from Ljubljana to the Coachella Valley and from Western Australia to Sao Paulo, Iron Maiden are delighted to announce that stepping in behind the kit for 2025 is a name familiar to many of our fans – Simon Dawson, a former session drummer and Steve’s rhythm section partner of the past 12 years with British Lion. A native of Suffolk, England, Simon first teamed up with Steve Harris back in 2012. He debuted on three tracks on the first British Lion album and all of the second critically acclaimed ‘The Burning’, plus the many subsequent tours in the US, UK, Europe, Australia, Japan, New Zealand &, most recently, both Mexico and South America.

Iron Maiden celebrate their 50th Anniversary next year with The Run For Your Lives Tour starting in Budapest on May 27th.

It has been a trip a couple of days back to burn a FLAC to CDDA disk

The first thing I had to do is find a CD recorder, actually a DVD recorder, which still functions in this building. The second thing was quite easy because I've always kept a stash of empty CDDA disks.

Because the DVD recorder hasn't burned anything in a couple of Years, I had to simulate the recordings, just to be sure that I would not waste the CDDA disk.

The only reason I had to do this is because I did not have a working CDDA, copy of a particular CD that I wanted to play physically.

Of course I have made a practice of digitizing all my CDDA disks, so FLAC copies are always in abundance.

I wanted to play the physical disc while I work with my musical instruments & pedals

Burning CDDA disks in 2024 is an interesting challenge
