I'm on a similar domestic Israeli Fiber to the home connection though via a different isp to @apshamilton .
Since I mothballed the isp's Spyware router and bought my own $20 Fiber modem, the connection has been rock solid. I actually have bigger problems with whole building power and I should also replace an old router.
Yes, the power supply is also a major issue in domestic situation. In general, data centers will have fallback solutions for all of the key infrastructure elements that just aren't available at home in most cases (unless you are Elon Musk or Bill Gates).
I have a UPS too.
There is really nothing that a data center has that you can’t easily duplicate at home.
But a data center will always be vulnerable to pressure from hostile parties.
Data Centres tend to have multiple lines in/out - plus be in hardened, high security facilities and have numerous levels of redundancy to facilitate nearly 100% uptime. You could recreate that at home but it would be extremely expensive and I doubt anyone on Hive has done so.
If you visit a Layer 3+ facility it will resemble a nuclear bunker more than an office :)
I will soon have redundant internet links by sharing my home fibre via wifi with the office across the road (which already has dual redundant internet).
I could easily and cheaply get a second fiber link at home too.
My apartment building is already highly secure with guards and nuclear, biological and chemical proof safe rooms - although my kids are in there not my Hive node :-)
Not really sure why a Hive node would need multiple layers of security in any case.
Overrewarded comment, hopefully you understand.
Yes, it was a bit excessive. :-)
This is a good example of an appropriate use of a balancing downvote. Countering a single perhaps overly generous upvote.
In contrast nuking lengthy original posts to zero because of political differences is what I am concerned about.
Me too and I have been one of the few countering some of those, that is if the authors haven't behaved like small babies over them.
Except that your account ocdb is 2nd only to curangel for doing the downvoting of long, original content, because you disagree with it.
I can literally prove that what you're saying isn't true. I haven't downvoted you with ocdb. I've downvoted 3 posts of @ura-soul, one with mostly quotes about tether, one was a bit longer with text + quotes of people's comments but was about disagreement of downvotes which I don't find valuable nor "content" and the last one was of a video clip on 3speak that wasn't his along with very little text.
Are you thinking of lucylin? Either way I'm pretty sure I've downvoted a lot more with this account than ocdb but it hasn't been cause I disagree with the content, it's been the rewards.
It's almost as if it was a mistake, and communication could have been used instead. Weird?
Removed the upvote, I was simply on the wrong account when I placed it.
