It seems to me that they always upgrade for surveillance reasons when these outages happen.

Call me cynical.

Cyber Polygon?

The Cyber Polygon 2022 Cyber pandemic simulation was supposed to take place today, July 8 2022. Organized by Bi-Zone with support from, you guessed it, the World Economic Forum.

Either it was a software upload from FedGouvCan or the cost of the ‘maintenance’ correction was a ransom paid to hackers.

Testing to see if they can black out whole areas?

Sounds like BS to me.

And just that easily nobody buys anything or goes anywhere. Believe me, it’s been noticed.

Large quantities of computers are very weird things. Last spring they did a “power upgrade” to the building my company is in. This involved replacing the UPS in one lab and wiring the other lab up to it. Boom boom everything seemed to go fine for 2 days. Then the routers that control one of our domains started flaking out, one port after another failed over the course of 3 days, just dead. Not the other domains, not even the the domain that this domain is a child of. And not all ports at once, just a random port every couple of hours. Exactly the type of thing anybody in IT will tell you is impossible, and couldn’t possibly be related to switching where the power comes from. But it happened. Had to do some deep re-configuring to get most of the routers back, one just had to be replaced outright.

So, yeah, feces occurs.

At first glance, StarLink would seem like a good way to go, but that would depend on whether or not the Canadian government would want an internet that they can't shut off.
