schestowitz-TRwhich I can bring back from memoryAug 04 05:29
schestowitz-TRand some days' gemini archivesAug 04 05:29
schestowitz-TROS-wise I think the only changes we made since the last cloning was adding throttling scripts and sudoersAug 04 05:29
schestowitz-TRI'll have to go through a list of items to restore, which I wrote downAug 04 05:29
schestowitz-TRBTW, is an SD card becomes unbootableAug 04 05:29
schestowitz-TRany chance of or reason to try to rewrite things to it afresh?Aug 04 05:29
schestowitz-TRlike using the "bad" card as a clone for the USB system?Aug 04 05:29

schestowitz-TRso I assume card damageAug 04 05:30
schestowitz-TRI tried it on two laptop while under time pressure due to long outage and other issuesAug 04 05:30
schestowitz-TRrianne's clone card seems to work perectly OK, as it ought toAug 04 05:30

schestowitz-TRI did a lot of work on it during the outage, worried I might have damaged somethingAug 04 08:01
schestowitz-TRthough judging by the state of the card, it's just the card itself having a defectAug 04 08:01
schestowitz-TRI'll try to boot rianne's clone on it just to be sureAug 04 08:01
schestowitz-TRthen back to USBAug 04 08:01
schestowitz-TRwould you suggest cloning from USB to USB or USB to sd card? I'd have to buy a spare (still undecided on how to do IPFS)Aug 04 08:01

Techrights-secyes laptops have kind of a buit-in UPSAug 04 11:48
schestowitz-TRI was told 2 months ago why the exchanges still work during outagesAug 04 11:51
schestowitz-TRthey have data and power retention built inAug 04 11:51
schestowitz-TRso in theoryy during outages I can still surf the Web from the laptopsAug 04 11:51
schestowitz-TRbut only if the router keeps powerAug 04 11:51
schestowitz-TRso I said, ok... if these outages take a while to solve (they found the culprit the second time around)Aug 04 11:51
schestowitz-TRI'll buy a UPS to share between the router and the pi, which is brittleAug 04 11:51

schestowitz-TRif it worsens (these 2 recent outages are first in 16 years, and both connected... should not be resolved as they replaced the damaged underground cable) Aug 04 11:57
schestowitz-TRI will purchase a budget (about 50 pounds) UPC for the router and pi so I can carry on working even during blackoutAug 04 11:57
schestowitz-TRalso helps with the job, where being vigilant is the key functionAug 04 11:57
schestowitz-TRnot like programming, where one can say, I'll carry on laterAug 04 11:57
schestowitz-TRa colleague also had an outage recentlyAug 04 11:57
schestowitz-TRnot related to the weather, for sure (it's summer)Aug 04 11:57
schestowitz-TRspeaking of generators, rianne's parents live in a place where one is needed to add water pressure in caseAug 04 11:57
