I took a five day boy's (old men) trip with some friends, without thinking much about my nodes. They are low maintenance and work seamlessly 95 percent of the time.
While I was away, my wife was having trouble with a ceiling fan. She mistakenly started turning off circuit breakers, thinking it was an electrical issue. It wasn't. As a result, halfway across the US my SN zaps were failing. Lessons I have learned:
- Don't Let Women Near Circuit Breakers
This is a not very funny joke. My wife is more competent fixing stuff around the house than me.
- Don't Forget To Check Your UPS Frequently.
Mine failed. I have had this problem before, but never seem to learn this lesson.
-
Umbrel nodes do not seem to require a new log in after loss of power. Mine was up and running a few minutes after the power was restored.
-
Start 9 nodes are different. Mine needed a fresh log in, so my node was down for a few days.
-
Alby Hub needs a new log in after a power failure, and its NWC connections permanently failed after power returned. I could not send or receive sats on SN until I returned home, deleted my old SN NWC connections, and created new ones. I learned all about the world of cowboy credits in the interim.
