@WolfGam44111555 @eevblog Louis just ripped him a new one so I would think he wants to disappear right about now https://t.co/hQGKOWOqsV

@WolfGam44111555 @eevblog Said so on his Github page... until it was removed earlier today. Trying to erase his existence it seems

@davepl1968 In 1990 I was downloading from a local BBS @ 2400 baud with Zmodem on an 8 bit computer that could not perform disk I/O while reading from the serial port. Every 16k, pause the transfer, write the buffer to disk and resume the transfer.

@5Fingertight @MappPhoto @davepl1968 @ninaturner I live in a country with universal health care. It's not perfect for sure but we don't have people dying because they can't pay for their medications or medical treatment.

@Nedsglass @DoctorKarl I suppose you think the moon landings were a hoax too?

@Telstra And you say there's no outage?

[vk5ng (Nick) @vk5ng]

@Telstra What is going on in Mt Barker SA today? All mobile services have been down since 10:30am and as of 3pm there is no resolution. This would appear to be the 2nd major outage in recent days?

@happyestdays @DoctorKarl There's one born every minute and most of them are on social media spouting their bullshit.

@ProtonPrivacy A bit disappointed to see that as a Proton Unlimited user I cannot setup SMTP for my custom domain as I'm not a business user. It's not really unlimited then is it? Back to Gmail we go apparently.

@PMalinauskasMP What a great idea. Make it so social media has to parent children instead of making the parents responsible for actions of their offspring. What a nanny country Australia is becoming.

@IanSJohnston @eevblog Not in Australia. Amazon here is useless for most components such as this

@lesstenny It just goes to show the average American is not particularly smart

[vk5ng (Nick) @vk5ng]

@DFIT_SA This happened an hour ago. Why does it take so long to get posted here?

[vk5ng (Nick) @vk5ng]

@ProtonSupport Thanks, all appears ok now

@ProtonVPN Appears to be issues accessing some web sites using your Australian servers including https://t.co/MTZ7X9wuHY & https://t.co/wILELzDsBX. Error with Firefox is PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR. Other browsers are also affected. Is this related to yesterday's global Cogent issue?
