Power Issues

[squidgestatus]

It appears that we are having power issues, and all services are currently down.  Excessive heat is causing a huge demand for power in Oregon, so this could take a while to resolve.  Updates as I get them.

Excessive heat

This is gonna get worse in upcoming years :(

I know... :(

Thing is, I think I figured out why it happened. The Mac Mini that I was using for our firewall had no thermal gauge for the hard drive, and because of that, the whole thing fried. It's replaced with an SSD now, so that should take care of part of it, and I've got new cooling options in place now. Here's hoping to long uptimes! :)

On a much, much smaller scale, I too need to start thinking about cooling my computers - last heat wave I put an actual ice pack in a small towel so it doesn't leak and put it under a laptop. It worked, but it's not a reasonable solution.

I wish you and yours (alive and inanimate) much health, knock on wood.
