> Can't work, no internet.

Don't most people just tether from their phones in this situation? Usually video isn't expected due to excessive bandwith requirements but the internet bill outweighs the daily salary (and you could probably get it expensed, or in my case my old company was already expensing my phone bill due to being used as a pager for on call)

he didn't say ethernet or wifi, he said internet. as in when the next big solar storm hits earth

I mean, if internet "internet" is down then society has collapsed and your job is probably gone anyways

I do admit, it'll be hard to sell 10 years experience building CRUD apps to the hunter gatherer commune.

Same situation here. I'm hoping being quadrilingual can help me serve as a diplomat or at least part of any envoys to distant communities. I also have some experience chopping down one tree in my backyard.

It happens every so often with BGP tables going haywire due to a faulty announcement.

Fortunately, I know how to use hand tools, so I'm secure in the post-internet future economy.

[TeMPOraL]

Not to this level.

If the whole Internet goes down, it's not clear if it could even be cold-started, at least faster than it takes for the world economy to collapse.

It hasn't happened in a while, I think this is the last major incident https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AS_7007_incident

[Kye]

There have been numerous high profile incidents. I can't find a list, but BGP troubles took Facebook down for a while in 2021: https://engineering.fb.com/2021/10/05/networking-traffic/out...

Ethernet, Fibre maybe.

[sgustard]

I live in the middle of silicon valley and have no cell service at my house.

[htrp]

how is that possible? Is it just like a single provider or do you literally have no coverage?

[ad404b8a372f2b9]

No passion left.

[singularity2001]

[xeckr]
