Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
  • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
  • Β 

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!


    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    What if I have a really good UPS with like a whole day's worth of juice?

    [–] zod000@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

    That's either an impressive UPS or an impressively low power server. Either way, congrats!

    It's a giant hamster wheel connected to a generator I run in πŸ˜ƒ

    I wish my daughter's rabbit wasn't so lazy. I'd join you in the dream of animal powered infrastructure.

    Anker have up to 3.8kWh stations, goals. This or Anker's equivalent of the Tesla Powerwall, wall-mounted energy storage.

    That's pretty impressive. I have a "big battery" that still isn't that big, but I don't consider it part of my wacky constellation of UPS devices. It's more of an "oh shit, no power, make sure the food doesn't go bad" and keep the refrigerator going for a day kind of thing.

    [–] thenoirwolfess@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

    Oh yeah, I think maybe a bunch of smaller UPS is better than one massive one - can't always power everything from one point aha

    [–] zod000@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

    Let me tell you though, when the power goes out it is like an unholy choir of beeping. Our pets think the apocalypse has arrived.

    danggg I wonder how long that bad boy takes to charge after an outage. The page says the solar powered one says < 2 hours but I don't know if I trust that. Thats an insane charge speed for solar

    [–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

    In a critical environment the UPS only has to last as long as it takes to switch over to a backup generator.

    [–] 0x0@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 weeks ago

    a backup generator.

    Hamsters on crack, noted.

    [–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 1 points 2 weeks ago

    I only get about 7 minutes out of mine but that gets it through most power outages.
