  • This is kinda old information, but my understanding was that there were 3 issues with dasiy-chained UPSes.

    The first is that you’re potentially going to cause a ground loop, which is not healthy for the life of anything plugged into those UPSes.

    The second is that there’s a potential for a voltage droop going through from the first to second UPS, which means the UPSes will flap constantly and screw their batteries up, though I’d be shocked if that was necessarily still true for modern high-quality units.

    And of course, the UPS itself won’t be outputting a proper sinewave when it’s on battery, which means your 2nd UPS in the chain will freak out (though again, maybe modern ones don’t have that limitation).



  • As someone who’s had the FBI serve a subpoena their information regarding activity on a non-exit TOR relay, there’s no way on this planet I’d ever run an exit node, unless I were independently wealthy and could afford a lawyer to deal with the fallout.

    I got lucky that the request went to my employer, who knew who I was (obviously) and that I wasn’t doing stupid shit, and it never went further than that, but good lord do I never, ever, want to be of interest to the FBI again, even though literally nothing meaningful happened other than me shitting myself for a few months.
