Hej Nick!

> You mention it's now on it's own machine..
> What was it on before?

It was on a low power draw embedded system (Ryzen) and then temporary moved to a beefier Epyc based server and now back to a low power draw embedded system (Intel) That's been sitting around for at least a year.  I preferred the Ryzen but at the moment I have no choice if I wish to keep it independent.

> Do you have some kind of (battery) backup or surge protector in

Yes and yes.  Also gas generator for the longer outages but that also runs household appliances such as a fridge.  The battery backup only runs the networked machines and is good for a couple hours.  It automagically kicks in when the power goes out.

> Or did the storm just cut the power to it temporarily?

The lightening strike, which was extremely close (10-20ish meters) took down two of the low power machines I had running.  I figure the fault tolerences were a tad too low for them as the other machines wired into the same grid never even flinched.  The power was out for just under 72 hours which also took down the wired internet connection so we were out of touch for that time.  The local network had no issues and were already running when the power was finally restored.

Het leven is goed,
Maurice
