🤔 For a days long outage, we need to find you balcony solar or a mini wind turbine😄

Also, unlikely to call at 3a unless something else happens (happened once, in 2014, at 9p)

The 60 minute one have my direct Internet equipment and a light. The 20 minute one has my laptop, my two servers and WiFi antenna.

It’s there for an orderly power off, not to last days 🙂

Those people don’t necessarily live nearby, so we’re unlikely to be all affected by the same disruption. 😁

Batteries lasting only 20-60 minutes? We need to find you a better alternative

I live in a condo unit.

I have a couple UPS (uninterruptible power supplies… batteries), but they last about 20-60 minutes.

I’m going to keep track for about an hour or so, as long as I have hydro 🙂

So far, the Greater Montréal was mostly spared. But it is spreading.
