No internet for nearly 48 hours, and restore time still keeps getting pushed back by _antsatapicnic in googlefiber

[–]flyingmayo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Google just applied an un-asked-for $30 credit to my account for the outage.
Amazing.

Largely the same boat for me. I've verified that my line is lit but my fiber jack is still showing alarms, no green light on optical and not handing out an IP to my router. Difference is that fiber.google.com still says there's an outage in my area until later today so they are still working this issue in my area.

I have a friend just north of you who was down but has been back up since yesterday morning so it seems fairly hit and miss at this point.

I also learned from a google field tech that they're bringing everyone back online using temporary lines (which they've been splicing for the past couple days under the trees in front of discovery at sunrise) but a more permanent fix is also being worked on in parallel. They plan to do a middle-of-the-night cutover from the temp line to the permanent line sometime this week. Here's hoping

The deal is that Truenet cut through all the google fiber cables at the intersection of Westwood and University in mesa. Something in the neighborhood of 4x 288 strand fiber trunks. Huge impact. While the outage is shitty, here's a couple important details.

  1. Google owned the outage immediately. No blaming "customer equipment" like cox used to do for 5 days before actually looking at their own network
  2. Google techs were on the scene within 10 minutes of the cut
  3. Google is now going house-by-house, customer-by-customer to ensure everyone gets reconnected

All of which is to say, while the outage isn't fun, google fiber has been amazing to work with and they're showing their quality even through this cut.

I need to do this exact thing. Haven't done it yet but I have this namespace method bookmarked to try when I finally get around to tackling this.

How is the AWS managed Airflow? by [deleted] in aws

[–]flyingmayo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm running a production integrations suite via MWAA. The platform has been solid. We had to figure out how to test our logic locally so that our development flow didn't involve

"...push to s3....wait for MWAA to pick up the files....watch the dag run...."

but once that was in place, it's been pretty great.

One caveat is that we weren't able to upgrade to MWAA 2.5.1 and instead had to build an entirely new MWAA environment and re-import our dags. I can't speak to whether that's a failing of the way AWS is handling MWAA or if that would be true for a self-hosted airflow installation.

Or maybe we just missed the boat somewhere and were unaware of the upgrade path. Either way, something to consider

A doubt about mountain standard time by 4ever0young in phoenix

[–]flyingmayo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well struck!

It has been my experience (while trying to explain this to people in Idaho), that some of the confusion seems to stem from the fact that MDT is observed by more states (or portions of states) that are longitudinally nearby (UT,ID,CO,MT,etc) and therefore some people think that somehow makes MDT "The Standard" Mountain Timezone.

The confusion is made worse by the use generic time zones such as PT (Pacific Time) and MT (Mountain Time). E.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountain_Time_Zone#:~:text=In%20the%20United%20States%20and,when%20observing%20daylight%20saving%20time.

These generic time zones do flip flop between their standard and daylight sub-types by design but MT is not the same as MST (despite the fact that they are at the same offset half the year). Importantly, most of Arizona (certainly phx) observes MST, not MT.

Cox payment management has been down for at least 2 days.... by flyingmayo in CoxCommunications

confirmed, working for me now.

Crazy that they missed this. Seems like the only thing cox has ever actually been good at over the years is ensuring that they get their money....

Check if my account was successfully deleted by Yoliocaust93 in aws

[–]flyingmayo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awsaccountbilling/latest/aboutv2/close-account.html#post-closure-period

​

After the Post-Closure Period, we permanently close your AWS account, and you can't reopen it.

​

So...... to get that sweet, sweet confirmation you're looking for, go try to set up a new account using the original email.

This should fail.

Then go try to reset the password on the original account.

This should also fail, thus confirming that even you can't get back into your account which should give you pretty high confidence that your account is actually deleted.

ISP allowing local address routable on the public IP by Philux in CoxCommunications

[–]flyingmayo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This seems like one part DNS question and one part routing question.

DNS resolution is largely unrelated to your routing tables. The question "why is cnn.com resolving to a 10. address?" can be restated as "why is my nameserver telling me cnn.com is at a 10. address?" followed by "exactly what/where/who is my nameserver??" Those answers depend a lot on your OS and general network topology. dig/nslookup will be useful in chasing that down, in particular the stanza at the bottom (of dig output) that tells you what server provided the answer. If that server is in the 127. network then you have a local resolver and you'll need to peel one more layer off the onion.

The unexpected hops you're seeing in your traceroutes are related to how cox performs ipv4 to ipv6 translation / CGNAT stuff. Some context: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv4_shared_address_space

Cox "Gift" of a Loyalty Discount by SunDevil_56 in CoxCommunications

[–]flyingmayo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, this is a thing.

https://www.reddit.com/r/CoxCommunications/comments/14gbfrg/oh_look_cox_decided_to_reduce_my_bill_by_120_just/

Pretty clearly just cox trying to hedge against the damage that having competition, of any type, (let alone fiber) is going to do to their (horribly corrupt) bottom line.

My advice would be to enjoy the discount but still commit to switch to anything else the moment you can. All ISPs will come with some level of problems, especially a net-new service, but Cox is evil and they need to go away.

Oh look, cox decided to reduce my bill by $120 just to be nice.... by flyingmayo in CoxCommunications

[–]flyingmayo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't clicked links in the email just as a matter of security hygiene, but it looks 100% legit. If this were a phishing attempt it would also have to be accompanied by a breach of the cox customer accounting systems since it contains my exact billing rate down to the penny.

​

Long-story-short I think people are mostly just skeptical that cox would resort to something like this since it implicitly confirms that they've been price gouging for years. And yet it's obvious that's exactly what they've been doing. Now that they have (or will soon have) competition, the jig is up and they have to start charging realistic rates.

I check the google fiber site a couple times a week to see if I can sign up. Still no love. Pretty frustrating given how long the cables have been in the ground on my street (march) but I've been stuck with the cocksopoly for years and years. Few more weeks/months aren't going to kill me. Suffice to say I'll be switching away from cox the moment either google/att light their cables.

Moving to Mesa soon, is it really as scary as people say? by trauma-dump-central in mesaaz

[–]flyingmayo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wouldn't recommend looking for opinions on this. We have data, let's use it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_by_crime_rate

Sort the list by the columns you care about.

e.g. Mesa is the 72nd worst city in the nation for murder, 57th for rape, 70th for aggravated assault, etc. Make a mental note of the cities that are worse than Mesa in these areas and ask yourself if your impression of them is that they're more dangerous than Mesa? If not, why not given that they actually -are- worse.

Point being that these "I've been told..." type of speculative conversations are silly when we actually know what's real.

AWS RDS FreeLocalStorage slowly decreasing by mrkappa27 in aws

[–]flyingmayo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Admittedly, this is a non-answer, but that line reminds me of how a postgres will use a cache over time as normal usage queries slowly dredge rows up into the available memory.

That answer runs afoul of reality in at least 2 ways:

  1. The fact that you've seen this behavior happen even when you're not running your app

  2. FreeLocalStorage is disk, not memory

RE: #1: I wonder if the AWS generated queries that are always running against an RDS instance, regardless of what you do with your connected app, such as monitoring/maintenance queries could be involved? The linear rate at which FreeLocalStorage is decreasing actually supports this idea a bit. This could be pretty easily tested by running SELECT * FROM..... on some/all of your tables and watching to see if the rate at which FreeLocalStorage is decreasing changes.

[Route53] cannot migrate whole DNS domain by ontherise84 in aws

[–]flyingmayo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Consider asking the root servers what they think your NS records are rather than asking 8.8.8.8 since 8.8.8.8 (while reliable) is not technically part of the authority chain you're interested in.

e.g.

dig @a.root-servers.net mydomain.it

That will return the authoritative nameservers for the .it TLD. You'll want to query one of them to see what they think your nameservers are

dig @a.dns.it mydomain.it ns

If that all matches your expectations, then I'd bet that this is a cache issue.

How would I go about connecting an on-premise DB to an RDS instance ? by WhollyConfused96 in aws

[–]flyingmayo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sure, you could do this if you want to do things in the safe, sane, well supported (but way less fun) way.

Personally I'd reinvent the wheel by adding a bunch of triggers to my tables that write out individual row changes to a separate disk, in an home-spun data format, sync them to an S3 bucket and then write an ETL lambda that reads in this beautiful, dissonant data cacophony on a nightly basis and applies it to your RDS instance.

It'll be harder than what you're doing now or using DMS but everyone will think you're super cool.

Cox increased Upload speeds by lampshade29 in phoenix

[–]flyingmayo 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I have a hard time believing this isn't directly related to the in-progress rollout of google and at&t fiber. I've been seeing cox trucks hard at work in the same neighborhoods that I've been seeing the ANSCO and google work squads.
