#nbn

our power just went out (at home) & our internet also dropped – which it shouldn’t do as we have a battery backup for our #NBN NTU (#FTTP) & UPSes for router, switches, etc. 😤 I’m about to go check the #blinkenlights on the NTU to see what they tell me… (yes, some of them probably won’t be blinken 🤪) I still have connectivity internally (for about 40 mins) but because the WAN dropped my NAS wasn’t able to send the usual email notification about the UPS switching to battery. once I figure out why the NTU failed (or possibly further upstream) I’ll make some changes to make it a little more robust if possible I’ve recently switched ISPs, so I’ll be annoyed if there’s some fragility in their connectivity that I didn’t have with my previous ISP

Hazzard notifications: #NBN are performing network maintenance Monday 6th July 8am until 11am AEST. Usually nothing happens because I’m on FTTP in a FTTN footprint but letting ya all know just in case. I’ll retoot a reminder closer to the day!

English – The Conversation | Politics with Michelle Grattan: former minister Ed Husic on why Labor must ‘stare down’ gas companies over tax by Michelle Grattan, Professorial Fellow, University of Canberra AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Former industry minister Ed Husic argues that Australia is “selling the country short” by earning almost nothing from about $170 billion of LNG exports over four years and insists Labor should “stare down” gas‑company pressure and pursue a fairer royalty or Petroleum Resource Rent Tax. He welcomes the Senate inquiry into gas taxation and warns the Albanese government not to be intimidated by multinational threats to relocate investment. On artificial intelligence, Husic calls for a comprehensive national AI Act and a dedicated regulator to set guardrails now rather than adopt a lax, reactive approach. He also urges stronger action against Islamophobia and antisemitism, recommending the Bondi royal commission broaden its remit and the government implement anti‑vilification laws and respond to the Human Rights Commission’s anti‑racism framework.
