Very cool! Do you have a contingency in place for things like power outages?
- philip1209 2y agoNot really . . . Cloudflare Always Online, mostly. I had 2m35s of downtime due to power outages this week.
- firecall 2y agoA MacBook Air solves this problem very nicely! Not only does is have a built in UPS, but also comes with a screen, keyboard and trackpad for you need to do admin tasks physically att the console!
- philip1209 2y agoYeah, I had considered this! But, then I'd need a UPS on my modem and wifi, and at that point it seemed overkill.
- firecall 2y agoYes, totally. Although you could use a backup USB cellular modem, plugged directly into the Mac! At some I imagine I'll inherit or acquire a cheap older M1 Macbook Air, which will be perfect! I also have whole home battery backup and solar, so I technically have a UPS for everything! Where I live the power tends to go out from time to time! I monkeyed around with cheap ex-lease Dell Micro PCs with Intel 8th Gen to 11th Gen CPUs. But they not as performant as I'd like, and once you've experienced modern CPUs like Apple's M series, you dont really want to go back!
