Fun short story about how I thought I had accidentally killed a couple hundred people yesterday because of F@H.
I setup my two PC's for this years marathon and on Monday left for vacations. I kept the PC's running because I downclocked them to keep the Temps down. I also installed TeamViewer so I can easily check in from my phone once a day.
Yesterday evening I wanted to do my daily check but the PC was unreachable. So I panicked just a little bit. Then I tried to reach my NAS which was also unavailable even though it runs on my newly acquired UPS. I thought the only possible explanation was that the PC burned down and took the NAS with it. I live in a 20 story building and have never seen a sprinkler system. GG.
Naturally I checked my city on Google because that would definitely make the news. The first picture from a couple hours ago I find was this:
SpoilerMy heart dropped to the bottom of the fucking Mariana trench and I thought "oh fuck, I just killed everybody in that building because I didn't turn off that damn 7900XT". My night was accordingly bad.
Today a friend reached us and asked if we still don't have power back because of the fire at the electricity distribution system. We found out our building is the only one that doesn't have it's power back and thus my UPS failed (been 30+ hours).
So yeah. Turns out folding did NOT kill all my neighbors but I will lose a couple ranks in the marathon until I can turn the PC's back on on Saturday (granted the power is back).
Thanks for the scare of my life @GOTSpectrum @TVwazhere

Classic. Things like this only happen during vacation.

Next DIY project :
Your own room sprinkler system
Or you know... an internet connected smoke/fire detector with a router connected to it's own big sized UPS :x
Edit : Just remembered something I found way back, not that I ever tried it myself.

Does anyone know a good Android Widget that just tells me the currency exchange rate of one currency?
I need to more closely monitor Mexican Pesos to Euros to know a good time to transfer money home.
