I survived the great Texas AT&T Labor Day Internet Outage. My Plex media server worked a bit slower as it couldn't connect to the main servers, but served up movies and music stored locally, and my Audiobookshelf worked fine once I re-enabled a DNS rewrite rule on the local AdGuard DNS server that all calls to *.mydomain.net went directly to the reverse proxy.

Overnight from Oct. 11 into Oct. 12, attackers drove fridge and freezer temperatures up to 50 degrees Celsius (122 degrees Fahrenheit). Food spoiled and fires broke out at several stores. Upward of 350 supermarkets were affected, a small portion of all the stores operating in France.
