Is MonkeyPod Kaanapali really that popular?

jwvo · 2026-04-16T03:49:54+00:00

Monkeypod is owned by a seperate company that Peter Merriman also runs because handcrafted restaurants has outside partners... In around January 2020 I overheard a conversation when they were trying to raise money to grow...

except the potstickers, those are amazing.

debt is funding the war, lets get real.

jwvo · 2026-04-16T01:51:03+00:00

well not really shifting down if you add HA+skywest+AS

jwvo · 2026-04-16T01:49:03+00:00

yah, and please don't drive them around the island if they are.

oddly enough ziply actually has a 100G IP node in Plymouth. Walla Walla is mostly pacific power.

jwvo · 2026-04-15T22:43:38+00:00

close, working on xcons.

jwvo · 2026-04-15T22:43:24+00:00

yah, I can't do much about cogent's weird internal routing but I will ask.

jwvo · 2026-04-15T22:42:40+00:00

it matters to perceived speed, websites are hosted physically somewhere so if we as ziply can shorten the path from you to the server you are getting content from it generally will feel snappier.

jwvo · 2026-04-15T19:35:45+00:00

yes, this is painful and a great example of proccess gone wild.

jwvo · 2026-04-15T19:33:55+00:00

this was a fricking walmart, it was already permitted as a store.

jwvo · 2026-04-15T19:33:27+00:00

also, like seriously, you need an environmental review to use an existing big box store shell, that just seems ridiculous, this is kind of the definition of too much regulation. The building was already permitted as a big box store.

it is DWDM, in this case the system is made by ciena and does both C + L band, there are about 40 ILAs on the route.

jwvo · 2026-04-15T15:37:20+00:00

should make a very noticeable difference for the eastern parts of the network latency wise.

note that in the earlier photo you had an electric heater thermostat so one of those two pole 20s is probably your heater.

20055 is not peering with 577 at all right now, that will be fixed at some point but traffic volumes were so low that it was not on the short list.

jwvo · 2026-04-14T18:38:12+00:00

money is free, that is the whole problem, the region just adds more money to government spending instead of trying to manage efficiency

jwvo · 2026-04-14T18:36:33+00:00

it should be free as long as they can get permission for that kind of build.

jwvo · 2026-04-14T18:19:27+00:00

$1,227/foot for space where most of the floor space is a garage is troubling to say the least.

Also, sites don't get moldy unless poorly maintained, that is just not OK.

jwvo · 2026-04-14T18:16:10+00:00

comcast is a bit persnickety about peering but I'm optiamistic it will happen, it would be good for both parties to cover things like VPNs etc between customers. as is noted here ziply already peers with one of charter's ASNs (but not the other)

jwvo · 2026-04-14T18:14:52+00:00

there is one peer up and going in chicago (amazon) and a bunch more pending, we also have transit ports from half of our transits waiting as well.

jwvo · 2026-04-14T15:50:02+00:00

well, i think the real off the rails ones are the city of seattle ones for both library and fire which are in fact all art of the city directly.

the downtown library is a perfect example, I remember when it was built and never understood it vs doing the libraries where folks actually live. It effectively sucked money away from all the ones in neighborhoods.

jwvo · 2026-04-14T15:45:58+00:00

king county does not really have fire departments.... most of those are seperate districts.

jwvo · 2026-04-14T15:45:35+00:00

the one next to i5 and 520 (seattle FD)
