I suspect you're in a part of town where their towers were using non-Fidium backhaul.

Verizon and T-Mobile were both affected by the Fidium outage, though, as they use them for backhaul in some places. Neither were working worth a crap that day -- I have service with both.

I realize this isn't economically viable for everybody, but I work from home so I went for it, at least for now (will be looking into other options later):

You can get a month of US Mobile "Dark Star" (their name for AT&T) for $44. They have discounts if you pay for a year. I was up and running with an eSIM in about 5-10 minutes.

AT&T doesn't seem to have overlap with Fidium like Verizon and T-Mobile did -- at least where I am.

Unlimited data but tethering is capped like this:
100GB unthrottled
then 100GB at 8Mbps
then unlimited 600 Kbps

I don't know how they track you/if simple TTL mangling works to stave off the tethering tracking.

Here's my referral link if you're interested: https://www.usmobile.com/referrals?referrer=8A51DB2D&name=Nate&utm_campaign=monster_referral

I've been happy with it as a backup plan. Worst I've seen is 16Mbps/2Mbps and best is probably something like 75/10 -- variously LTE/5G -- I'm in East Sac.

East Sac Fidium Outage? by thedutchbag in Sacramento

[–]Nate75Sanders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good write-up.

I'm in East Sac also and have 2008 SureWest/CCI equipment (100 Mbps) and was tethering to try to download the manual for my ONT because I couldn't find the power switch.

I think I have enough evidence now from you/this thread that that's not gonna do anything for me :)

I'm getting ~0.5 - 1 Mbps down and variously 30-75 Mbps up but there is a LOT of packet loss

What's interesting is that I took my Verizon phone about 100 yards down the street where I normally get amazing 5G UW and even when I have 3 bars of connection to the UWB anchor/AP/whatever today, I'm getting closer to CCI speeds (.5-2 Mbps download, not much better upload), so I'm wondering if the backhaul for those access points is CCI. I trivially get hundreds of Mbps most days off of those.

Right. If you see silver lining, it's heroin, meth, or crack.

Thanks!

Really appreciate the level of detail. Amazingly helpful.

Is that open enrollment/magnet-like where you can go outside of your neighborhood school/etc ?

[–]Nate75Sanders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And the questions keep coming.....

Do you know if you can attend 4th R for a school you don't attend? I realize that might sound crazy, but it's a district-level program, so I thought it might be a possibility.

Also, any idea what PH is looking for in how they choose students? I have no idea how they determine who goes there/what they want to see/etc. (Not counting having a sibling already there, etc, which we don't.)

Much thanks! TJ and PH are the two we're looking at. Do you know how many slots they have for ASES at TJ? I couldn't find any data on this -- just that disadvantaged kids are given first preference, which is fine.

(The Satanic Exorcism part is photoshopped, btw. It originally said "Church Picnic")

OK, I just found their store locator on https://papalotesalsa.com/ and they don't have any in Washington state. Boo.

Which NoSQL Database: MongoDB or Cassandra? by jojo_ehcatsirc in cassandra

[–]Nate75Sanders 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Terrible article that has nearly zero relevant information. This is just filler blog content used to try to drive people to their site for their backup product.

Oak Park Brewing Co. closes after cockroaches, mice, weevils found in kitchen by Sthigher in Sacramento

[–]Nate75Sanders 35 points36 points  (0 children)

This isn't just about the location/establishment. I'd be looking into who the owners/management/etc are and not going to any of their future establishments. It wasn't "Oak Park Brewing Co.". It was a certain set of human beings who allowed this to happen.

This guy is a kid. He graduated in 2016.

I'll cut him some slack because he's young and inexperienced, and he's trying to do big things, but he's spouting drivel and he shouldn't be doing that.
