| waldo323 | cool! what was your change? | 02:13 |
|---|---|---|
| cmaloney | Good morning | 12:56 |
| _stink_ | that thunder was loud last night | 12:58 |
| cmaloney | Yeah it was | 13:01 |
| cmaloney | My compuer UPS turned off | 13:01 |
| cmaloney | naturally this is the day that JoDee is starting a different school (OCC Southfield) | 13:01 |
| cmaloney | yes, on a Saturday | 13:01 |
| cmaloney-exile | OK, this UPS is now a liability | 13:14 |
| _stink_ | hah | 13:24 |
| cmaloney-exile | Think I'm going to have to bite the bullet and just get a new one when Microcenter opens | 13:30 |
| cmaloney-exile | Dammit, only 30 minutes to go | 13:30 |
| cmaloney-exile | And then see how this one can be fixed and if so I'll move it onto the network equipment | 13:31 |
| cmaloney-exile | at the very least the cable modem has its own battery | 13:31 |
| cmaloney-exile | Might need a new battery, even though it claims it's cool | 13:31 |
| cmaloney | Geez, replacement battery for this UPS is ridiculous: https://www.cyberpowersystems.com/products/ups/replacement-batteries/?filter_product-models=cp1350pfclcd | 15:17 |
| greg-g | lithium? | 17:53 |
| greg-g | cmaloney: you... should be able to find a much cheaper option... unless that size is impossible to find other places (by size I mean dimensions). | 17:54 |
| greg-g | cmaloney: a 7ah 12v battery shouldn't be 92 dollars | 17:54 |
| jrwren | might as well just get a new ups. | 17:54 |
| * greg-g is specing out a 'solar generator' right now | 17:54 | |
| jrwren | its the old printer/ink business model. | 17:54 |
| jrwren | greg-g: what makes it a "generator" ? | 17:54 |
| greg-g | jrwren: attaching to solar panels | 17:55 |
| greg-g | basically, a battery with a lot of good ports (usb, cigarette, inverter) and solar panels | 17:55 |
| greg-g | my current amazon list with some redundancy: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/1XGV50DQI1JGF/ref=cm_wl_huc_title | 17:56 |
| greg-g | basically, I'm making a really ugly but way cheaper, version of https://www.rei.com/product/862518/goal-zero-yeti-400-portable-power-generator | 17:56 |
| cmaloney | I did get a new UPS | 17:59 |
| cmaloney | and Amazon has replacement batteries for $70 | 17:59 |
| cmaloney | so I might pick one up to revive it for a little while longer | 17:59 |
| cmaloney | it's 5 1/2 years old so that's typical for a battery | 18:00 |
| cmaloney | but yeah, the battery is half of the cost of a new unit | 18:00 |
| jrwren | greg-g: sounds fun! | 19:47 |
| jrwren | https://www.linuxuprising.com/2018/05/malware-found-in-ubuntu-snap-store.html i hate snaps. | 19:56 |
| jrwren | ruins linux | 19:56 |
| cmaloney | snaps are awful | 21:37 |
| _stink_ | huh i never even heard of them | 22:18 |
| cmaloney | _stink_: Give it a bit; you'll hear they're being discontinued | 22:19 |
| _stink_ | hah, my favorite kind of fad... the one i miss. | 22:37 |
| cmaloney | exactly | 22:52 |
