da Internets
The datacenter at RIT went dark today. A complete power loss. We are still in the midsts of it, but even with the off site DNS servers, they can’t really handle the load of everyone switching to them at once.
People lost it when their internet stopped working because with the domain controllers down they also lost the ability to authenticate to any servers that didn’t fail.
Fortunately I didn’t lose the internet for that long because the routers came back online relatively quickly. This meant I could keep myself entertained while telling people that unfortunately, there was nothing we can do but wait.
When I go to PA to visit my family sometimes I don’t get online at all, but when I come back and have to catch up on what I missed, I feel so behind. And even with this crazy internets telling me all kinds of news from all over the world, I still miss the important news items.
so this entire post is kinda random and half-hazard, but I don’t feel like fixing it cause I have to pee and go to the gym.
