Administrivia: Why the sudden changes in mail volume, etc.?
Since folks have been asking me about this, why email stopped from
here beginning Friday morning and only started up again yesterday
afternoon, I will note that I had to deal with a 78+ hour primary
circuit outage, which affected my main servers including websites,
mail, etc.
This occurred in perfect weather -- no rain, no floods -- not even
earthquakes or locusts or other curses that L.A. can suffer. I have
backup circuits but they have limited capability and static IP
addresses in particular present special complexities that limited my
recourse in this case.
Add to that the fact that I was continuously provided with
misinformation about the cause and expected duration of the outage,
and the result is that I'm a very unhappy camper about this.
Unfortunately, like most everyone else here in the U.S., I have very
limited affordable options in these regards. I can't even get fiber at
an affordable cost (despite its cost effective availability in the
general area close by).
We've built skyscrapers on a foundation of quicksand, my friends.
Best, -L
