There will be some fuckery going on soon with communications and maybe power grids. Get a ham radio( and the frequencies of your contacts) and stock up on ammo, food, water and offline pass times (books, tabletop games, building sets, sports, video games and music If your power remains on), and some survival manuals
Get a 70 dollar baofeng radio, but unless the world is on fire, please do NOT transmit on ham freqs. I have my tech license and can legally transmit, I just dont want non licensed people spamming on the freqs (unless the world is on fire, and it's our last resort of communication)
Depends, I literally just read the book, and took online practice tests until I had memorized the question pool and knew everything, but not everyone can do that, in the end the tech liscence maybe takes a normal person 2 hours of learning and practice a night for 2 or 3 weeks and I think you'd pass it...
I am worried they will kill the comms when the MOASS happens to try and stop us from selling shares. I've got the hardline phone numbers, but almost all telecom systems use the internet backbones to connect, so who knows what to do :/
Suspicious observers youtube is a good watch. Main stream science has the sun all wrong. It's not a nuclear furnace but an electrical body, it can Nova multiple times and our sun is due for one. Happens about every 12 thousand years and the last one wiped out the civilization that built the pyramids and all megalithic buildings around the world. It will be a global reset.
Also saw some news that old ssl certs from some encrypt company will expire on September 30th.
So some commentators are saying it will break some functionality on websites that use those certs
I think perhaps if the internet seems to go down, it's actually the most popular DNS servers being taken offline. It might be time to find an unpopular DNS server. Also you might want to look up the IP addresses of important sites so you can get to them without DNS.
Another thing to remember is that people think of the WWW as being "the Internet." The WWW is just one part. I remember doing things on the internet before the WWW and web browsers began. There is email, Usenet newsgroups, Ping, Finger, Gopher, and many other services that do not rely on DNS servers and will probably still work.
So make sure you have current email addresses for family and friends, and perhaps get on some mailing lists to get info. Download a newsreader program and find some relevant groups. Get a gopher plugin for your browser, learn about it, and practice before you need it.

I don't think that's going to happen and here's why: it's crucial to the DS just much as it is every other person in the world.. If it goes down it ain't gonna be for long. Why? Because it's hard to suckle the teet of a country if the countries entire financial system is shut down. Individual sites going black? Totally. Entire thing? Nah. I know this is everyone's favorite omg topic but I sincerely doubt anything to that magnitude is happening pretty much ever. Again, it's too crucial to all sides involved. It's also damn near impossible. Russia has tried. Here's a clip from an article:
"The first problem they have acknowledged is they are not perfectly certain they know how to shut down the Internet in Russia. They have been working on this idea for more than a decade and they are still not sure they can kill the Internet."
Here's another article on it explaining why and how it's so difficult to do.
Is it possible? Maybe. But the US has an insane amount of internet infrastructure and is 100% reliant on it for everything from money to medical etc. In turn the DS is reliant on having a system to suckle from where the worker ants are working. Is it likely? No. I'd be more concerned for our ancient power grid. and even then we go back to the argument of them being just as reliant on it as us.
Yes and no. The real truth is our sun will be going to be having more 'Carrington' events
But not expected for a couple more years.
The truth is we won't get the big drops we were promised till we have civilian uprisings all over the world. The drops are going to be the extra weight on the scale at that point, to send it all the way home.

How hard is it to get your license?

This may be the first solar storm to only affect internet. Kind of like how Covid was sneaky and hiding behind corners waiting to attack.

Oooh very cool! Thank you so much for all the info! I had no idea about any of this.

Very interesting!
An internet blackout will give me a chance to practice playing my ukulele. :>)

We are going into solar minimum, so events like that should not be happening...
Get a HAM radio
50 cal ammo boxes are good for handhelds and HDDs, fyi. About $15 each
