| lxo | sorry I couldn't be there. it was the most stressful power outage ever; the later meeting I had to be on was extremely important for me | 04:23 |
|---|---|---|
| lxo | I had to clue when the outage would be over, the meeting time was approaching, and the storm poured on and on | 04:23 |
| programmerjake | sounds like you might need a battery backup :) | 04:41 |
| lkcl | lxo: if you have 3G / LTE in your area consider getting a "Pokefi" | 05:16 |
| lkcl | it is a pay-as-you-go international roaming WIFI-LTE router | 05:16 |
| lkcl | with a *2 years* lifetime on the PAYG payment | 05:17 |
| lxo | programmerjake, I got plenty of batteries and UPSes, but power was out for very long | 05:18 |
| lxo | I could have got internet through mobile, if I were desperate enough. power returned early enough that I didn't have to worry about it | 05:19 |
| lxo | but I endured it offline to save the power in the batteries | 05:19 |
| lkcl | lxo: we have two Pokefis. they are "just in case" | 05:23 |
| lxo | my fallback is mobile, but I'm hardly ever dependent on internet. heck, I could probably even have phoned in. it would be an expensive intl call, but still... landlines usually work even when power is out | 05:25 |
| programmerjake | hmm, I've not had a landline at all in at least the past 5 years...either google voice or mobile | 05:34 |
| lxo | me, I'm planning to ditch the mobile phone in favor of a 0G device | 05:35 |
| programmerjake | a old radio telephone? or did you mean something else? | 05:38 |
| lxo | programmerjake, I mean 0G as in fsfla.org/blogs/lxo/pub/0G | 06:49 |
| programmerjake | ah, neat! | 07:00 |
