Has anyone else noticed their website has been having a ton of issues in the last few weeks as well? In terms of bookings failing and trips not appearing? Just my anecdote but software issues seem to have become very frequent over there…
Can definitely relate. There is no correlation to work complexity and quality in performance reviews from what I’ve seen. It’s often how much you are selling something and your director happens to be buying…
Could I sufficiently foil their mechanism here by not connecting any WiFi devices to their access point and then wrapping their access point with foil? Or would you need to take it all the way and put the device in a faraday cage? I’ve always wanted to build one but never had the motivation. Maybe this will be the impetus I need to finally make one! Like others have stated I use the ISP provided hardware to get around the data cap. But connect nothing to it other than my own router.
There is also the router made in partnership with OpenWRT, the OpenWRT One. I’m using one right now and it has been very stable just on the RC builds for this release for a few weeks now. This is the first actual release supporting this device. The device itself is pretty nice with a JTAG header on the board so it's pretty clear that it is a hacker-friendly device. Haven’t needed to use that yet though…
This would be an awesome way to get more breadth of knowledge during downtime. For example, many times there are interesting algorithms or some technology I would benefit from knowing I just wouldn’t know to search for it.
Or you could make infinite scrolling randomized hacker news front page articles from the past.
