specific to AU, the original NBN which was for GPON FTTP everywhere did account for that and specified CPE with battery-backup. service providers bitched and moaned about that requirement amongst other things and yet these days they sell HFC services with CPE that have 5G modems for backup in them so gently caress them entirely.

idk what HFC is but if you get phone service thru cable or ftth providers here the modem or whatever comes w/ a backup battery. its kind of stupid cause if you dont get the phone service you get the same device from the provider they jsut dont give you the battery. I just stick all my networking poo poo on a UPS and it works fine.

yeah the lovely modem/router combo cox gave us had ui stuff for the battery everywhere but no battery to be found. it also mentioned sky and xfinity everywhere too because they're all farmed out from the same poo poo hardware.



early 7z was funny because most of the ui was just a ripoff of winrar but none of the buttons work. "test archive" used to just pop a popup saying "not implemented", wonder if they ever added that.

sorry i can't leave this post uncorrected. the AU national broadband network wasn't hosed by NBNco, it was hosed by the Coalition (Lib/Nat) government, specifically Tony Abbott.

they had 6 years to deliver a network and connected 100K homes
if they started with COTS GPON in the first place they could have connected 3M homes and it wouldn't have been hosed by the change of government

coax networks can have power backup and they do in many countries, as for america I don't know anything about the other ones but I know xfinity doesn't power backup their network for $$. They give you a battery for your modem/router for power outages but neglect to tell you that their network won't be running if it isn't just your home without power.

so after ordering the fiber connection to the new apartment the other day, like a day later the other end of the cable connection got struck by lightning (it went out right as a super loud super close lightning strike hit, and it took them a good 8 hours to fix it so i assume it was completely toasted and didn't just lose power) and i assume just out of spite the lightning strike was passed through the modem leaving it completely intact and instead killed the port on my router lol

unrevoking certificates for, uh, compatibility's sake

then again, if you break a bunch of random accounting and LoB software with a cert revocation, you are going to have to do something about it

it's not revoked, it's no longer trusted (or was). minor distinction, but as Microsoft did not issue the certificate they cannot revoke it. reversing a revocation would be a much bigger deal and, I have to imagine would violate the BRs of the CA.

have a router with a ungrounded power supply and also a shielded ethernet cable between router and modem? it's likely the router's dc ground is by the coax shield then
