Third beer in, the schadenfreude still hasn’t worn off! Happy times!

Posting this on one of the fash sob threads on X would cause mental breakdowns.

I mean, that would be too conspiratorial (complex) to hide but it’s not impossible. Maybe the contents of those files are just that bad.

Savage.

0 4   *   *   *    /usr/sbin/reboot

Adjust interval as needed.

Or if you want something a bit faster and less disruptive:

#!/bin/sh

NAME="$0"

logger_cmd () {
  echo $@
  logger -p daemon.info -t "$NAME[$$]" $@
}

if ! which ncat 1>/dev/null
then
  logger_cmd "ncat not found, installing..."
  opkg update && opkg install ncat
fi

chk_conn () {
  echo "Checking connectivity to $@"
  if ncat --send-only --recv-only -w 334ms $@ 2>/dev/null; then
    return 0
  fi

  logger_cmd "Cannot reach $@"
  return 1
}

restart_network_iface() {
    # TODO: Don't restart every minute

    COOLDOWN_LOCK=/tmp/internet-connectivity-watchcat.tmp
    COOLDOWN_SECONDS=300

    cooldown_time_end=$(cat $COOLDOWN_LOCK || echo 0)

    time_now="$(cat /proc/uptime)"
    time_now="${time_now%%.*}"

    cooldown_time_left=$((cooldown_time_end - time_now))

    if [ "$cooldown_time_left" -lt "1" ]
    then
        logger_cmd "Restarting network interface: \"$1\"."
        ifdown "$1"
        ifup "$1"

        cooldown_time_end=$((time_now + COOLDOWN_SECONDS))
        echo $cooldown_time_end > $COOLDOWN_LOCK
    else
        logger_cmd "Skipping interface \"$1\" restart due to cooldown. Cooldown left: $cooldown_time_left seconds"
    fi
}


logger_cmd "Checking internet connectivity..."

if   chk_conn google.com 443 \
  || chk_conn amazon.com 443 \
  || chk_conn facebook.com 443 \
  || chk_conn cloudflare.com 443 \

  logger_cmd  "Not connected to internet."
  restart_network_iface "$1"
fi

In restart_network_iface use /usr/sbin/reboot instead of interface up/down and run the script every few minutes via cron or systemd timer. This was written for OpenWrt so if you use that you can use it as-is. For other systems you’d also have to adjust the logger_cmd.

You can place that on another machine and send a signal to a smart plug instead if you’re worried of a locked up / frozen router. That said if your router freezes like that, you should probably change it and you should be able to run this script on it.

“Trump Troops” this is good. We should use it.

Feels difficult to breathe. 🤭

If this money is refunded, where would it go? It won’t come back to consumers. It probably won’t be spent on investments due to the uncertain economic climate. I think it would either disappear from the economy by getting locked “on the sidelines” or be pumped in the asset markets, US or foreign.

Yeah, it’s a very well done vid that mom and pop can understand.

And they’ve set $50M bounty on the country leader’s head.

Wait, I thouht it was vaccines.

It is. Distractions work best when they aren’t nothingburgers.

I have Europe might have done it before us. 😄

Then a fast follower:

Maybe not. I think their military got a bit more careful over the years with increased scruitiny. Maybe I’ve got a false impression.
