Say ww3 kicks off and power goes off - how are you keeping your servers up? Solar panels and batteries?
What if there’s a biblical flood and you dont have the means to build an arc? All your servers are destroyed beyond repair?
What if you heard the Feds are coming to cart you and your servers away cos they suspect you of bad mouthing Emperor Tromp? (you’re on the run or subject to months of torture and yeah, you’re never getting your kit back)
What if theres a war and Luxembourg (you know, the enemy) let’s of an EMP pulse that kills your servers and all the infrastructure (power, internet…). How do you access all those cherished pics on Immich?
I’m not suggesting any of this will/can happen, its all just for lols, but have you made any contingency plans? Big binders full of printouts, bug-out bags, those flower-type solar things that track the sun, Faraday cages…
Did you mean to say 4000w? 400w isn’t enough for all that equipment.
I don’t power all of it at once, and not direcly off of solar. I could maybe fit another 200W worth of panel on that roof, but for 4000W I’d need seven caravan roofs. That battery is the buffer and it’s a beast. At 300Ah I have 4kWh to pull at 1C.
The fridge sips a nice 30W. Panels put in ~2kWh on a sunny day. So thats a 1.7kWh surplus for running heavy loads - enough to max out that inverter for an hour a day. That’s plenty for microwaving or pumping water.
Sounds like a nice setup. I’m jealous :D
But shouldn’t that only be a 1.3kWh surplus with the fridge drawing 30W*24h=720Wh?
You’re right.
Well, still enough juice to pump all the water we need and heat our meals.
We’ll just have to limit hot showers to once a fortnight. Needs about 800Wh to heat the hot water tank.
