Our Comcast DNS keeps going in and out too, not clear if it is related or knock on effect or something else entirely.
I’m somewhat surprised you’re still using your ISP’s DNS when there’s ton of better free or paid options.

"You relied on a service you pay for to actually work? What are you, stupid?"
Do you use your car’s built in navigation function — that you paid for — or do you plug your phone in and use its free Google Maps or Apple Maps to navigate?
downdetector is showing a lot of down mobile networks & services
Edit to say: my Verizon FioS and cell service are both working fine, no noticeable interruption at any point today.
Second edit to say: never mind, downdetector's home page normalizes report spikes so 1k and 100k both look identical.
Recently downloaded bitchat so I can contact my family members if outages like this happen when we’re out and about. I got a few T1000 cards for meshtastic but there’s just too much friction to teach my spouse and others how and when to use it. I wish haloW was built into phones which would make long range local communication much better.
I'm in a similar boat to you in wanting a LoRa mesh. I tried out MeshCore on the LilyGo T-Deck+ hoping it would be a device I could hand out to family members, but I found the hardware and software disappointing.[0] But I'm weirdly tempted to try the LilyGo Pager.

Your post reflects another online observation. With the rise of online sports books, this sort of predictive doomerism has flooded almost every team's online comment section. It no longer feel like fandom or community in the same way. Just lots of voices that will be glad to say, "I told you so," in the loss and crickets with the W. Wish there was some accountability mechanism for all the negative noise broadcasted i…
Some outlets reporting T-Mobile and ATT as well. I assume state on state cyber attacks are commonplace but get minimized to avoid public fear.. perhaps this will be the first notable one.
