Thanks for coming to the stream! It's a bit of a rough start, especially when we didn't have copy and paste for half the time, but I can already tell this has a lot of potential.

Thanks for coming to the stream! We adapted some old release thumbnails into album art and (mostly) engraved "Weightless". You will see these again in some form in the near future.

I resorted to carrying my bicycle up several flights of stairs.

Thanks for coming to the stream! We of course had to play that famous recorder song.

I got a second UPS for my new NAS that I hooked up my router to. Prior to this, it wouldn't have made sense to switch scenes since the stream would be disconnected.

I probably have about 10+min of runtime with the UPS, but my monitor isn't hooked up one, so I wouldn't be able to see anyway.

apcaccess prints the UPS stats. Notably, it has a STATUS property that will be ONLINE or ONBATT (or others that I hopefully won't run into). I wrote a wrapper script that checks for that:

apcaccess -p STATUS | grep -q ONLINE

and hooked it up in Advanced Scene Switcher in OBS.

You got it! I have an APC UPS that can be connected to a PC through a USB cable. I don't know how you'd do this on Windows, but on Linux I use apcupsd to monitor the UPS's status. It's mainly used to shut down or hibernate the PC if the UPS is low on juice, but you can get creative with it.

If you're thinking this would be a very rare occurrence, you'd be right. But it has happened to me once before.

Thanks for coming to the stream! After messing around for the first 2 hours with different techniques, we went back to good ol' direct transcription and got up to the first chorus done.

The work so far is in the repo: github.com/penbuvt/fans...

I did eventually get it working. Now it's going to be a matter of figuring out how to allocate my disks and transfer the data.
