alt Hacker NewsMy spouse and I work at home and after the first couple multi-day power outages we invested in good UPSs and a whole house standby generator. Now when the power goes out it's down for at most 30 seconds.
This also makes self-hosting more viable, since our availability is constrained by internet provider rather than power.
Yeah we did a similar thing. Same situation, spouse and I both work from home, and we got hit by a multiple day power outage due to a rare severe ice storm. So now I have an EV and a transfer switch so I can go for a week without power, and I have a Starlink upstream connection in standby mode that can be activated in minutes.
Of course that means we’ll not have another ice storm in my lifetime. My neighbors should thank me.
