[00:58:10] <MrPlow> https://www.goodreads.com - "George Carlin — 'Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.'"
[01:12:59] <chromas> What if he's wrong though? There could be a few incredibly stupid people pulling the average down

[01:21:14] <Bytram> given how many people there are, that would still me a truly large number of very stupid people. That does not sound like much of an improvement.

[12:22:24] <Runaway1956_> My traceroute ends with verizon.ten12-1.br03.ash01.pccwbtn.net
[12:22:43] <Runaway1956_> That is the seventh hop
[12:23:42] <SemperOSS> I cannot traceroute to the servers, even from nets where I can connect from.
[12:24:08] <NotSanguine> SemperOSS, try mtr if you have it
[12:24:18] <SemperOSS> I have tried access from the UK, which was OK, Singapore was OK, but Denmark was not
[12:24:36] <SemperOSS> Just a mo re mtr ...
[12:24:54] <NotSanguine> My spectrum link dies in ntt's network in the Chicago area, Runaway1956_
[12:25:20] <NotSanguine> But my Megapath link goes right through to the linode VPS
[12:26:11] <Runaway1956_> I installed mtr, it gives me the same data as traceroute
[12:26:50] <Runaway1956_> but, it seems to be persistent, in that it keeps trying?
[12:27:55] <Runaway1956_> MTR looks good now - and my browser connected
[12:28:09] <Runaway1956_> mtr bad again

[12:28:58] <Runaway1956_> All good now, I think it was verizon messing things up
[12:29:03] <NotSanguine> Yeah, martyb and I both were briefly able to connect 15 minutes or so ago and then broken again almost immediately, Runaway1956_
[12:29:10] <SemperOSS> I can see, when trying from Denmark, that mtr had 90% loss from quite a number of servers falling to 60%-ish over time
[12:30:24] <NotSanguine> SemperOSS: Presumably this will be resolved fairly soon. At least I hope so. What's more, I expect that Linode wasn't the only network affected, so I imagine we'll hear about it in the press
[12:31:06] <NotSanguine> I'm able do connect via spectrum now. We'll see if that holds
[12:31:32] <NotSanguine> mtr is nice and clean via Spectrum now
[12:31:48] <NotSanguine> hopefully that's the end of it. I guess we'll have to see
[12:33:42] <SemperOSS> I can now access from all the sites I have tried
[12:33:58] <Runaway1956_> wow, THREE submissions about the ras-pi 4 - we better have a front page story!
[12:35:24] <SemperOSS> Or better yet, move our infrastructure to a couple of RPi4s in somebody's cupboard
[12:36:11] <NotSanguine> Not sure if NCommander has the closet space, SemperOSS. :)
[12:36:51] <Runaway1956_> That almost invites a crude remark about who is hiding in NCommander's closet . . .
[12:36:51] <NotSanguine> Just to clarify, (EUR) Cupboard == (US) Closet
[12:37:08] <NotSanguine> It's best not to speculate, Runaway. :)
[12:37:54] <Runaway1956_> MTR is pretty cool, I learned something this morning
[12:37:57] <SemperOSS> My mail server and its backup (two locations) are RPI3s and the backup-backup is a Lin ode instance in Singapore
[12:39:41] <SemperOSS> Me too, I've not heard about mtr until today, so thank you. Was it you introducing it, NotSanguine?
[12:40:25] <Runaway1956_> yes, it was notsanguine who suggested it
[12:42:20] <Runaway1956_> Ha! I restarted MTR, and I'm not using nearly the same route now
[12:42:34] <NotSanguine> You're both welcome. mtr is superior to traceroute (obviously) as it records multiple attempts and details levels of packet loss. It's not always as functional as traceroute (as traceroiute uses UDP with ttl decrements)
[12:42:50] <NotSanguine> That's not surprising, Runaway1956_
[12:43:23] <Runaway1956_> 11 hops now, vs about 20 or 21 earlier
[12:44:01] <NotSanguine> Spectrum has also routed around the problem. Which points to an issue that,if not local to a single network provider, wasn't widespread like a BGP hijack.
[12:44:07] <SemperOSS> Somebody was probably trying to route around the problem. That should happen in real time if nobody has bombed the routing tables.
[12:44:37] <SemperOSS> Aw, you beat me to it, NotSanguine
[12:44:41] <NotSanguine> It may well have been a BGP issue (or a bad router/router interface), but apparently not something global
[12:45:20] <NotSanguine> I type fast, SemperOSS. :)
[12:45:48] <NotSanguine> BTW, martyb posted a front page article about this.
[12:45:53] <SemperOSS> So do I, but I have to think a lot (slow, slow, slow) and correct a lot (even slower)
[12:46:36] <NotSanguine> Thinking? I never do that. It hurts too much!
