@tewha Have you tried https://chat.10centuries.org/ instead of https://nice.social/? Not sure if it makes any difference, though. Pretty sure one links to the other.
@tewha We never had TV until 1968, out on the farm at the end of the road. That's how you do it, go back in time to when there were less alternative media distractions. I still like my R&R (Reading & Radio) to this day.
A few months ago, the National Broadband Network halved the wholesale price of its 50GB down/20GB up connection plans, so my telco announced that 1.3 million users of their 25GB down/5GB up plans would be progressively upgraded to the 50 down/20 up for no extra charge.
My internet died about 20 minutes ago. When it came back up, my download speed was 48.9Mbps down & 13Mbps up. I have a FTTN connection with the last-little-bit of copper being a mere 150 metres long, including the internal wiring.
I'm pleased!
@streakmachine If you follow up a few of the suggestions in this article https://medium.com/@ldstephens/quick-notes-with-nvalt-and-1writer-895a26d1f633 something might be of interest.
Please bear in mind that I'm not really sure about your problem, so it might lead you astray.
Tread warily, mind out for dog poop on your trek.
For some unknown reason, my iCloud account got itself locked about 45 minutes ago, I had to reset the password & thanks to Apple's paranoia, some 3rd party apps like Outlook on the Lumia 1520 & BusyCal on the Mac needed new app-specific passwords.
This process wasn't helped by iClod (sic) Keychain failing to update the new password until about the 7th login attempt.
All OK, now, though.
@tewha Difficult to throw him out with his hands & feet tied to the shower fittings while being flogged.
@gtwilson The semi-government owned telco, Telstra, is responsible for the remaining phone booths. In most cases they're found outside or near railway stations & post offices. In the case of most PO ones, they incorporate a Telstra high-speed wi-fi hotspot called Telstra Air which can be used by anyone who uses Telstra/BigPond (aka BigPong) for their broadband supplier and has Telstra Air set up on their home broadband. International users who have Fon accounts can also access these booths.
Telstra Air users have their wi-fi routers automatically configured to add Telstra Air & Fon public hotspots to their routers.
Any data used by such Telstra Air connections are billed to your home broadband allowance, in my case a ridiculously high 1.2 TB per month.
So, as a Telstra Air user, I can park myself near any Air hotspot, be it a public phone booth or another user's router & access broadband via their router at no data allowance cost to said other user.
