Another #OctopusSavingSession today - one light on and a cuppa made 3 mins before the window. All IT running off of #UPS - initial runtime showed 66 mins with a 60 min window! Now 15 mins in showing 47 mins and 71% left - going to be tight!!

Another #OctopusSavingSession opted in today. Working from home so the monitors were powered off and the laptop ran on its battery. Routers and switches running from #UPS - I was out when it started but made a coffee at 8:30 in a travel mug and it was hot enough when I got back so no usual kettle boiling!! #WaitingForTheResults

After #OctopusSavingSession this week I decided I should put my #UPS back into my #HomeLAB only to discover that it was dead. I knew it wasn't the battery as I had replaced it last year! New UPS via Amazon now installed. 390W unit at 15% gives about an hour on battery. My two NAS units shutdown after 3 mins taking around 5 mins to off still leaving enough to run the router/WiFi, switch, Pi2s acting as DNS servers and Pi4 with my containers on for about a further hour. #Ready for the next one!

Doing the Octopus Saving Session for the first time tonight. TV off sitting in twilight enjoying the cuppa made at 4:58!! #OctopusSavingSession
