Feedback Technical Grievances

Aussie Broadband works for me fine with no VPN.
It depends where you are I suppose, all SA traffic is routed through USA it seems but maybe some places like WA/QLD route through singapore and thus on to EU? Don't know but i can tell you ABB in SA does not work for me
If you're using mullvad, these wireguard endpoints are working at the time of this post:
Estonia
Israel
Latvia
Luxembourg
Netherlands
Norway
Sweden
I have been using Germany and that works for me
 
Please make sure to let us know when the diplomatic stage is over, and if success was had or not, so we know whether to go full-retard or not.

I know many people here have an aversion to gay-ops, but with options thinning, there must be ways to defend the forum and even fight back. Contacting your ISP is one, of course.

Just riffing here, but could a PR firm be brought on? Those people have relationships and know how to talk to reporters in a more congenial way than "The press are scum." Comprehensive posts refuting the false claims about suicide and swatting don't seem to be making a dent, but people with the right skills may be able to shift the narrative around the Farms (and around censorship generally). Most journalists are probably more lazy than biased, and tech corporations are more scared of bad press than malicious.

Maybe it's a dumb idea though, or far too late.
 
1 bought twitter hastag v the entire fucking intercontinental propoganda pr campaign done by the same companies that got US into every single fucking war-crime-ridden war US has ever been since ww2. Of course, a hastag would solve our problems.
Because doing nothing and lamenting 'the Feds have done me in (:_(' is a viable alternative, right?

Glenn Greenwald's favorable mention is probably more helpful than fake PR.
Taking the initiative to reach out to high-profile people is a good PR move. That door is already cracking open (for those unaware, here's the article link), I hope @Null does everything in his power to let himself in and not to waste the opportunity.
 
I've spent the last 3 hours rewriting the same long post. Every time I try to save it errors and I get "Our website security has found your request suspicious and has blocked it. In case the request is falsely blocked, please share the below reference number with us" in the console.

Am I tripping security up cause I have a bunch of links and pictures?

PR firms are a decade or two behind, and their current strategy remains "just say sorry and lay low and that will totally work, bruh"

Not wasting money is a good one.
 
Called my ISP again and they told me to call the teir 1 ISP themselves since their service isn't where it's getting dropped. Naturally I told them that's bonkers since they are the customer of the tier 1. The tier 1 told me they don't have that route in their table and have told me to go back to my ISP... I'm on the carousel of progress and it's a great big beautiful tomorrow...

I've just had to explain to this lady at my ISP what a teir 1 ISP is. Her response is "To be honest I've never quite dealt with an issue like this before".

You and me both lady. This is a real trip...

I had a similar discussion except with someone with most broken English I have ever heard.

For anyone that is hitting a brick wall with their lower tier ISP people, ask to be sent to the NOC (pronounced "Knock"), the Network Operations Center. The NOC is the technical heart of your ISP and is operated by the people who really run the ISP. These are the people that understand what transit, peering, and Tier 1 ISP's are. Some lower tier ISP support like to say "The NOC is internal only" (Nobody sees the Wizard, No Matter, No How!) which is bullshit. They can send you to the NOC, they either don't want to, or don't know how and don't want to ask. Make it clear you will keep persisting until you get to talk to someone at the NOC and you will make everyone aware along the way how unhelpful the person you are currently talking to was.
 
Nool is saying on the Telegram that it's back.

It's gratifying to see your decision to exercise restraint and not put someone on full blast actually paid off.
In regards to the backbones acting as content moderators, I'm willing to go full retard. If hurricane electric blackholed us, I'd start writing Tucker Carlson. These companies really don't want attention on them because what comes next is regulation.

Usually I'm never shitting on companies because I ultimately have to replace them and if I make a habit of treating old partners poorly, new ones have even less reason to want to work with us.
