ughhh my ISP fucked up our connection while installing some fiber cables in the neighborhood. on the phone with them going on an hour now—they can ping devices in our house just fine but we can't ping anything outside the house ourselves? it's a one-way fiber cable i guess

my beloved BBS heads: my system will be down all night it seems. they're sending guys back tomorrow to fix our connection. now i gotta go uhhhhhh read a book or something. i only have so much phone data

most cherished BBS users: my internet is finally back but im having a really bad time with my car crash injuries. havent been able to function but! the board should be back tomorrow. i'll even make a post on there

oh my god BBS freaks: our new router is being uncooperative. will not let me do port forwarding of any kind. idk maybe i need to install an app or whatever. there's always some fucking app. the internet is a billion times faster here, at least. BUT AT WHAT COST
