• Patch Lady – 31 days of Paranoia – Day 20

    Posted on October 20, 2018 at 23:51 CDT by • Comment in the Forums

    Here’s a paranoia item for you… what happens if…or rather when… the Internet goes down for enough time that you have to make a plan B?  Note this post is slightly influenced by the fact that just as I sat down to write the nightly paranoia item, Comcast experienced an outage in my area and won’t be back until 1 a.m.  So now I’m on a much slower cellular connection writing this.  And I must say you get spoiled with highspeed access.

    But it reminds me that there will be a day when there will be an Earthquake in California, possibly large enough to impact a major Internet connection and thusly impact services and experiences that I’ve come to take for granted.  It’s one of the reasons that I keep this laptop that has built in cellular connectivity as a backup.

    What alternatives do you have in place to provide alternatives should a major catastrophe impact technology that you are used to?  In some areas of the country generators are the norm (they aren’t in California).  Do you have flashlights and radios.

    But bottom line there will be a cyber attack or an Internet outage…. and then what will we do?
