This comment reminds me of the science fiction story Ra.
It’s a good story, takes a while but not too long to read, a few days or something, and the whole story can be read online for free at https://qntm.org/ra
If you are in Switzerland I suggest you use the DNS service from the Digitale Gesellschaft[1] which doesn't block or track you.

One of our purpose is to provide privacy and anonymity services encouraging people in Switzerland and all over the world in their fundamental rights of privacy and security in the digital world." [2]

This page also doesnt load for me https://dns.google/ (points to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4)
Changing my DNS solved the issue. Not sure what was happening.
So I was thinking my internet was down... But only Google sites where not responding..
After changing the DNS I fixed it... I was using 8.8.8.8 Google Public DNS (dns.google.com)
Pinging 8.8.8.8 with 32 bytes of data: Reply from 8.8.8.8: bytes=32 time=17ms TTL=117

Protonmail was recently hit by this, and an activist who thought they were using a private service ended up arrested.

It's a really nice integration, shows you the history of target/set temp and the times gas was burned. The widget works well.
Although there is a 5$ fee.
