Nostr Web Client

#Optus service back online for me as of 1:30PM. No service messages at all, it connected to a tower a bit before that and picked up service 15-20 mins later.

I swore I’d never use Telstra again after they blocked LiveLeak and 4chan after Christchurch upon request from NZ’s intelligence - an Australian, publicly listed Telco, acting at the behest of a foreign government is fucking nonsense and I refuse to give them money, particularly when the shooter live-streamed on Facebook which faced ZERO consequences.

Guess I’ll be moving to Vodafone soon and then to tin cans and string if they suck.

If you're planning on switching to Vodafone network, check out Felix.

They're a small MVNO who offer unlimited 4G data capped at 20Mbps for $40, and plant a tree 🌱 for each month you stay connected.

Obviously the network coverage isn't as good as Telstra, but the unlimited data and affordability make it a pretty compelling option.

NBN was flaky today too, whatever happened i dont think it was entirely Optus.

I am seriously investigating moving entirely to SIP for phone calls and SMS. Then I can use whatever TCP/IP connection is around.

Problem might be using it for institutions requiring it for 2FA, apparently VoIP-only mobile numbers are often blocked. :-/
