I figured it was way passed the time that I should have done this. :)

Heh, yep I am in the same boat, will do some more today :)

Have sent you a new node to add also.

Hello All!

Just wanted to let everyone know, I had a bit of a system issue today. The electricity blinked off momentarily, and my UPS never started back up.

I'm going to be getting a new UPS, as for now the systems are running without.

The electricity blinked off momentarily, and my UPS never started back
up.

This is just unacceptable. I expect a 100% uptime, and I expect a
discount from my next bill for putting up with this abysmal performance. Thankyou very much.


Hehe. That was me making a joke by the way. It's probably less funny now
that I point out it's a joke, but you can't be to careful. Actually, it probably wasn't all that funny to begin with, so meh.

I'm going to be getting a new UPS, as for now the systems are running without.

ZOMG! RUnning a critical piece of network infastructure without a
UPS!!!11!

What sort of UPS are you getting?

I do expect 100% uptime. Discounts will be shown on next months bill. ;)

I thought it was actually funny. ;) But, then again, I am a bit demented...

I know! I can't believe it either! :)

I've actually got a couple of APC units on order. Each one it 1350 W, so shouldn't have any problems.

The one that died was a CyberPower. When it was new, if the power went out, I would get about 30 minutes. The next time I tested, I got about 4 minutes. Replaced the batteries, and got 8 minutes. Two weeks after the test, the power went out, and the UPS was completely dead...

sorry to hear but thanks Dan for the updates and work you're doing to keep things running so smoothly.

That's why I run my critical customer-facing infrastructure on a 10 year-old laptop. Built-in UPS!

Haha, when I first came back to the scene after moving back to QLD, I had
my bbs setup on an old acer laptop.

Laptop built-in UPS is great for the BBS, but not so great for the
Modem/Router ;P

I'm not as concerned with 24/7 uptime as I am with having things shut down cleanly. I don't have enough battery backup to last through a power outage, but at least would like things to come up clean afterwards.

The last time I had a significant outage, the laptop came in handy. I took
it with me to work, connected to the guest wifi, polled all of my uplinks, then crashed my downlinks, then polled my uplinks again to keep mail
flowing.
