Darkness on a summer afternoon
Arrived home this afternoon to find the house in darkness. Or, at least, as close as you can get in mid-afternoon. A power failure. Notable only because of the rarity – it’s been years since I last had to reset clocks before bedtime. There is no UPS in my universe, so the weather station server took a hissy fit, and required a lobotomy (that’s where you bounce the BIOS battery in and out to force a system reset). Things are running again, but I may have to consider what the next used machine I purchase will be. Perhaps a real server, with multiple drive bays. Hmmm.
