Pour les bricoleurs : maintenir l'alimentation électrique de son réseau pendant une coupure de courant (ici, en se fondant sur une expérience ukrainienne). https://labs.ripe.net/author/YuriyVyknevych/keeping-network-sites-online-during-blackouts/
After Diogo Jota died earlier this summer the LFC shop started selling these shirts. They said "All profits from this item will go to the LFC Foundation to create a grassroots football programme in Diogo's name.". The shirt was $32.75 and they added ten pounds UPS shipping. Imagine my disgust when UPS said that they would not hand over the package until I paid $35 tariffs. Over 100% tarriffs ? How much of this is really UPS making a cut ? #lfc #tarriffs #ups
#Riello #UPS, How do I hate thee? Let me count the ways:
1. "Firmware" update is 2GB .... for a UPS???? I think it's a full linux distro
2. The Windows "Configuration" program didn't find the UPS via IP, and via IP, you can't make any changes anyway
3. After upgrading to a new version, even though I downloaded it from the Riello web site, it now says "unofficial" on the system status, wtf??
4. When configuring the network details and backspacing over the IP address showing the default "DHCP" so I could put in a static address, I could delete more than 4 characters and started deleting the prompt, wtf?
5. For the latest download version, you don't download it from their main web page, you have to copy the link (which I didn't realise was so long so I didn't copy it all and it generated a 404). Haven't those guys heard of hyperlinks???
6. The reset button is directly under the USB port, That's a poor design decision as you could press it by mistake easily.
The download page, showing the latest version, which you can't actually download, you have to copy and paste the URL to download it.
The next entry has a download button, like a sensible person would do...

Union jobs provide economic and class advancement over generations. That's why billionaires and their Republican minions are so desperate to kill them.
