The Home Depot uses Akamai's overpriced EdgeSuite CDN, which is blocking logins from Firefox ESR 140 on Debian Linux with "Access Denied" messages. Shame on @HomeDepot and @Akamai for using Open Source Software for free, and then blocking Linux users. #FOSS #hypocrisy

If there is an error on your @SanDiegoCounty property tax bill, and you call the San Diego County Treasurer Tax Collector, you can expect 95 minute hold times. I guess Larry Cohen doesn't know how to run an office. #SanDiego #PropertyTax

Is SDG&E @SDGE having problems with their Outage Management System (OMS) today? There's an outage in Kensington affecting several homes that is not showing up on their outage website map.

@Vorgethi @ATT It looks like AT&T is doing state tracking on UDP at their network edge, which seems like a really bad idea. It broke for some BGP peers and caused all non-matching UDP replies (and VPNs) to get dropped. This affects Google/Gmail more because they use QUIC/UDP on more sites.

AT&T Fiber @ATT seems to be blocking WireGuard over UDP port 51820 today staring around midnight this morning in San Diego. Not sure if it's their network, or broken NAT in the fiber gateway box yet. Investigating...

[DougOps @DougOps]

@ATTHelp I have a better idea, how about you fix the network. The DM conversation with your broken AI bot is not helping things.

@Vorgethi @ATT Are you in California or Texas?

Big banks are still using last 4 digits of SSN to verify customers on the phone, even though we know that the majority of US Social Security numbers were compromised in the big NPD data breach of 2024. #TooBigToThink

Recently Fidelity made the incredibly dumb decision to outsource web security to @Akamai and their erratic bot-detection product. Now @Fidelity website is denying logins to Linux browsers (Firefox/Chromium) while they use and profit from Open Source software. #FOSS #hypocrisy

[DougOps @DougOps]

@RobertBlumofe Would you please fix your broken CDN security product and stop blocking Linux desktop browsers like @firefox from logging into @BestBuy and other major retail sites. Please stop targeting/blocking Open Source browsers and users.

[DougOps @DougOps]

It's rather ironic that @Akamai is discriminating against Linux-based desktop browsers like @firefox when Edge runs on Linux, blocking them from sites like @BestBuy in Akamai Edge CDN products. Akamai customers are losing sales because you keep shilling for big-tech browsers.
