After a nearby lightning strike one of my screens turned off for a second. That was the signal to call it quits today.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Oops. That’s a bit scary.

Hmm, how many hardware devices have you lost due to lightning over the years? 🤔 We lost a modem once, but that was it.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org it seems you don’t have a decent UPS with surge protection. Invest in one! We have one everywhere there is a constantly-used valuable appliance in the house, including refrigerator.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I can’t think of a single one. Pretty lucky so far.

@bender@twtxt.net Holy cow, congrats on that title. I do have plugged in the more important equipment in a power strip with surge protection. The weird thing was, that only one of the monitors went black for a second. The other one (both are behind surge protection) remained operational the entire time. Maybe EMP? It was closer to the window than the other one.
