Better to discuss the next day when it's over than seeing bunch of upset comments realtime posted.
If the AWS status wasn’t a static HTML page, I would agree.
HAM Radio
People joke but from the top of a decent mountain I can reach 45 miles into the bay area from me on a $150 2m radio in my truck with rooftop antenna.
That is so cool. If I had that (truck+radio) I'd be very tempted to scatter a few cheap relay nodes at good locations in the bay area. Monkeybrains+comcast is quite reliable.
The problem with that is the only people you have to talk to is hams.
(Ex ham)
Well same for computers & the internet :)
Fair point!
If there's an extreme AWS outage, you're pretty much stuck to in-person or POTS.
where did you discuss outages of HN's previous provider?
Less people are interested in outages of HN's previous provider.
