Largest U.S. Grid May Cut Power to Data Centers to Prevent Blackouts in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] miked@piefed.social 3 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

I'm in California where the grid gets stressed out during the summer. Ocassionally, on high demand days, the power company woud perform rolling blackouts to keep up with demand.

Lived close to a large hospital for a while. Our section of the grid never saw those blackouts.

Got tired of that stuff when my wife was working from home. Brief power outage and everything got new IP addresses.

Ended up putting the IP info on the printer manually to an address outside DHCP scope
