Weather / power related. May go offline for a bit until power is restored. Currently on UPS.

Update 1: Yep, expect downtime. UPS ran dry and moved over to aux generator. ETA from power company is tomorrow at 11 PM EST.

Update 2: Still no change in ETA. Have had to shed some load from the generator because my UPS’s refuse to charge from it and every time the fridge kicks on, a random piece of my equipment would reboot :sigh:.

Hopefully my reduced power budget will stabilize that.

On the bright side, the primary network connection has remained up and haven’t had to switch over to the (much slower) backup.

Update #3: (17:06) Generator running on fumes now and will probably be going offline soon to ensure a safe shutdown and save some fuel to cool the fridge tomorrow if power is still out. Apologizes in advance. I usually have very reliable power here and typically never need the generator for more than a few hours.

Update #4 (04/04/2024 14:48): Power restored 12 hours ahead of ETA (good work AEP crew!). We are now back up and running, but there is about an 18 hour backlog of federation activity that needs to be received. I’ve confirmed that those are starting to resume, but it will take a while. https://dubvee.org/post/dubvee.org/977774

    Stay safe! I just went out briefly and saw large swaths of the MOV underwater. At least tens of millions worth of damage just from what I saw going to get groceries. Now the main road to and from my house is closed in both directions from me.

      Thanks, back atcha. Mostly got wind damage here.

      The road to my old house used to flood and become impassible pretty frequently. It was awful. Hope you made it home or, if not, have somewhere safe/warm to wait it out.
