Well, just after writing the previous post about my uptime going strong, the power decided to drop for an extended period of time, and so the UPS (with it’s failing batteries) just couldn’t handle it, and so my precious uptime is gone 🙁
For some reason, I doubt I’ll ever make 500+ days again.
On another note, though, I wired together a cable so that my webserver can monitor the UPS, an APC SmartUPS 1400 that I dug out of a dumpster years ago.
Naw, I’m sure it’ll become a new past-time once you’re retired.
Your dad makes weird gadgets, you’ll have a bank of outdated and obsolete computers vying for the longest uptime.
