I was informed by my electricity company that over the course of the fall/winter, it is possible that there will be service interruptions to electricity delivery without prior warning depending on availability of power and expected shortages due to the cut-offs from Russia and overall electricity net balancing required to compensate. Outages will mostly be unannounced and are expected to be rare, but if they do occur will likely last several hours.
Since I'm running some services in-house on local servers, this will impact those services (e.g. Pale Moon Sync, repo server).
This announcement is just a heads up that this might occur, so you're all aware of both me suddenly dropping off of the face of the planet, and servers being unreachable.

Re: Potential interruptions this fall and winter
Yet another good reason, for you to be careful with what bandwidth people use on your servers...
But thanks for letting people know, I very much hope you don't lose power though.

Re: Potential interruptions this fall and winter
Do you have a backup generator? That would compensate for at least some of the outages.

You also need an UPS to provide power until the generator is running. Additionally, the ISP also needs to have power. If there are bigger power outages, the service will likely be unusable.Stargate38 wrote: ↑2022-10-12, 17:37Do you have a backup generator? That would compensate for at least some of the outages.

Re: Potential interruptions this fall and winter
It's unlikely my internet will be available during outages, so no, it's pointless to have the servers running on a generator.
