07:31:03 just ordered one of these - 120W DC UPS https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/POE-120W-Mini-DC-UPS-2200mAh_1600156971609.html 07:31:20 should be enough to run my fiber modem, router, and rockpro64 07:32:18 the sample price on the listing is wrong, it says $40 but it's actually $60 07:32:43 will take a couple weeks to get here 07:33:15 planning on controlling it with NUT? 07:33:46 what's that? 07:34:09 https://www.howtoraspberry.com/2020/11/how-to-monitor-ups-with-raspberry-pi/ 07:35:40 I guess will have to see what kind of remote interface this thing has. that really wasn't on my feature list when I was looking 07:38:42 doesn't mention any kind of interface 07:39:03 I never got around to it, but wanted to have some control with my UPS do that I could do controlled shutdown of some of my systems before the UPS ran out of juice 07:39:24 makes sense. I used to do that in LA with an APC UPS 07:57:58 looks like no software interface on this model 07:58:23 it's really meant for dumb devices that don't need a clean shutdown - like routers, phones, CCTV cameras 08:00:33 I might build a dedicated battery pack for the rockpro64 later. can get the charger module and bare batteries easily enough 14:22:42 <\x> sech1 https://valid.x86.fr/bhgfiz 14:33:46 CPU-Z benchmark probably fits into 1.25 MB L2 cache and gets huuuge boost from that 18:00:48 just got my new electricity bill. definitely cost more than my miners have earned :P 18:01:11 but it's actually a close call 18:08:55 if all you do is mine, with the lights off, never powering anything other than mining boxes... then yeah that sucks :) 18:10:35 well, it's not like the bill has usage itemized. i'm just assuming all other usage was constant, and the price delta is all due to mining. 18:10:56 fair :) 18:21:12 hyc: you could get the house wired up for the night time Flexi rate they use for storage heaters. That would take ~40% off your kw/h rate immediately. The downside is your miners would only be on at night time though 18:21:52 midipoet: Unless you do a battery backup system 👀👀👀 18:22:00 They're very easy to diy 18:22:21 easy but not cheap 18:24:58 my electricity provider actually emailed me and said since my 1year contract was finished I ought to look into switching providers to get another signup bonus 18:26:04 pauliouk: just depends on how much your electricity is and how much you're mining and how much you think xmr will be worth 18:30:36 Your electricity provider is enticing you to stop paying them ? 18:30:57 yep. bizarre huh? 19:18:48 my state deregulated electricity providers, but ofc not for where I live :) 19:20:29 just saw this on reddit: https://github.com/LinuxHeki/XMRiGUI 19:20:55 but then again the cost of electricity is only 40% the total bill 21:27:11 Here's another GUI app that could potentially be forked for the Android XMRig GUI bounty (currently at 3 XMR 🙃) : https://github.com/scala-network/MobileMiner . It uses some shitcoin fork of xmrig under the hood. 21:28:25 has some kind of automatic temp control built in as well
