[sudo-discuss] front door computer offline (but working?)

[robb]

i didn't install the 12v ups, yet, as the switch is 5v/3a
might be easier to back the whole circuit w/ a 120v ups as the problem is
usually it getting unplugged.

the outlet is about 6ft on the wall & i was thinking we could install
another outlet directly underneath w/o too much cutting.
incidentally, this is also the circuit that aqua viva uses to heat water &
may continue to get tripped.
