Yeah sounds like it was something similar. CloudFlare showed spikes in BGP announcements (the Border Gateway Protocol - basically how each network node knows it's neighbours and the route through that neighbourhood) when the system went down. So Optus stopped telling the world it existed and everything updated around it, shutting it out from the internet.
I miss my mum. She's been dead a few years now, and was elderly and in poor health. And I am a grown up. But sometimes I just want to be able to lay down next to her again and feel safe. I really miss her.
I will be ok. Just needed to tell someone. And if I tell anyone here in my real world they will want to make it better or something and it can't be. It just is.
it is slow social media
Yeah good point. Which is good. It just takes some getting used to.
A little thing. I had a rest day today. Read my book. Watched some old tv. Felt sad but managed to get myself out for a walk. I am so terrified of slipping back into depression I struggle to rest. But I stopped and looked at my to-do list I made for the weekend and I did it all. And I rested.
Just wanted to write that down so I remember it's ok
Beautiful summary. One of my favourite classics.Theres so much depth and the conversation about faith between Ivan and Alexie has stayed with me for years
Big hugs. Dogs are the best people. It sounds like you did right by him and gave him a gentle send off. That's nice
