Friday Dust Mite Blogging™
On thursday our stupid network connection just stopped authentication, and after several hours of runaround with goddamn centurylink (made even better by having to use my phone as a bridge to the outside world and lemme tell you it’s *fun* trying to cram modern bloated webpages through a 1mbit phone signal) their call center people told me that oh the (centurylink supplied and locked down so I can’t shell into it) router was dead.
So I dragged out this openwrt one I’d gotten last year to replace the centurylink one and it failed too.
All hardware sucks, all software sucks, and openwrt does not surprise here.
So now I’ve got the (not working) centurylink router back in place and I’m trying to find a browser that will let me schedule a repair appointment for the stupid thing, while, at least in the short term, I’m looking into other service providers so I can bail on centurylink if they continue to be horrible.
Happy friday, all!
