It's fine I'd just play some more Zelda on my Switch
I usually immediately start troubleshooting
By "troubleshooting" you mean you grab your shotgun, walk outside and yell at those damn Ingles kids to get the fuck off your lawn or you'll rain hail on them?
I mean the following:
ip aping fritz.boxping 192.168.178.1
Open fritz.box, check the status there and maybe reboot it.
Why does everyone have FritzBox these days? Haha XD
Because they're actually just good.
Not only in performance, but also features and especially configuration. The only way to beat it is with a custom firmware/simple Linux with custom iptable rules.
Denial: "The internet's not down, Maybe I just need to reset the router. Should be back on any moment now..."
Anger: "GOD DAMN IT WHY IS THE INTERNET DOWN? I WANT TO GET BACK TO MY MEMES AND DOOMSCROLLING!"
Bargaining:"What if I went to starbucks? Sure I can't justify the gas or the coffee price, but I'll at least have a connection."
Depression: "God damn why do I feel so depraved? Is this what withdraws feel like?"
Acceptance: "Actually, I think I'm enjoying this. I have read a book, went on a walked, and worked on an artpiece for the first time in awhile. I think I'm DONE with the internet!"
*connection comes back on
(back to staring at lemmy for hours)
When your view on communism is challenged for ten minutes.
When you forget where you are for 10 minutes.
