Lafayette power outage lus

Hi all,
In my neck of the woods, the house I've lived in for the past ~2.5 years has experienced over 7 multi-hour long power outages. I'm not really interested in getting a generator right now, but I'm considering a battery backup solution. I'm looking at a Victron inverter charger for my system and some rack mounted LiFePO4 batteries to power everything. It has a built-in transfer switch so I don't think I need a manual transfer switch or interlock during an outage My understanding is I want to wire it so it goes main panel -> invertecharger AC input, invertecharger AC output -> critical loads sub panel. My main questions are is installing a sub panel complicated at all or pretty simple to DIY, and for ground and neutral would I run both a neutral and a ground back to the main panel or just the ground? Additionally next to my main panel is a box that holds all the wires for phone lines/coax/etc so I would probably have to put my subpanel next to that. If the load wires aren't long enough to reach the new panel would I be allowed to use wire nuts or Wago connectors to extend them with some more romex? Your answers and any additional feedback or advice is all greatly appreciated! :)

I have had a power outage.
Since then Windows Defender asks for activation TPM, but this was already active befor the outage. Went into the BIOS and activated TPM.
When rebooting the computebios I was given a Yes/No question => Yes reboot with new TPM if nothing was bitlocked or No and the bios would revert. I choose NO, and the computer went to Windows. I checked that Bitlocker was off. Worked a bit and went to bed.
This morning the computer did not wake up by moving the mouse, so I restarted. The Yes/No question came again. I said YES, keep the TPM.
Now the computer doesn't recognise my bootdevice anymore. I corrected the Boot order, but still he wouldn't boot. What to do? Disable TPM again? What settings do I change?
I'm not an expert in Bios.

Based on the PG&E map, it seems like the whole campus has power outage. Do we have our own electricity generator? Would I be able to get into the school buildings if I head to campus now?

I am starting my solar project and have plenty of questions. It's pretty obvious that there are some very knowledgeable people on this sub, and I am not one of them. I'm looking for good sources for both materials and information and opinions for my project, especially things that will save me from the larger errors.
The basic system idea is solar with enough batteries to smooth things out for daytime use, with fail over back to mains when voltage/output drops, and then a final failover to generator when the hurricane hits. Not sure how to integrate solar and generator during longer term power outages. I am not going off grid and don't mind that solar drops back to mains later in the day.
I can yard mount or roof mount the panels, although roof mount is potentially risky in a hurricane, and risky relative to the insurance company. Yard mount is risky if something hits the panels. I looked into some hurricane results, and the array in Puerto Rico survived because it was flat mounted on a flat roof - a different scenario.
I want to do this right, and I'm not trying to do it on a dollar and a prayer, although I do want to control the costs where reasonable, and to get whatever tax advantages are available.
I understand the basics and I can rough design the system, but I don't know this world, and much of what I have seen has not impressed me so far.

I understand the basics , I can rough design the system, and I am capable enough to install it, but I don't know this world, and much of what I have seen has not impressed me so far. (I'm not trying to pay off my house and get a new MBZ on the savings if I sell back to the grid….;). This sub, unlike many of the subs on Reddit, seems populated by folks who actually know what they are talking about.
Any tips, sources, links etc. will be greatly appreciated, and if there is something on this sub that I've overlooked, I can use that too. I have talked to some sales people, but so far that has been a non-event, which is what pointed me to DIY in the first place.
For now this is DIY, although I could change my mind and have someone take it over, but I at least want to know what I am talking about.
Thanks to all.

I recently had a power outage that messed with my Monterey install. However, everything is backup up, and I don't predict much annoyance reinstalling from a time machine backup.
I want to take advantage of this time to see if I can play with triple booting, and I've always wanted to play with Arch (I am a developer and comfortable with Unix) and VR in Windows.
My machine: https://pcpartpicker.com/usesolvoid/saved/j4rMFT
I need to use OpenCore with Ventura to use the FileVault Encryption because of sensitive work material.
Even without the triple boot, is it possible to get everything working on Ventura yet? (Netflix drm, sound, sleep, USB, Bluetooth, etc...)
Is this triple boot w/ FileVault possible? If so, could anyone point me in the right direction if there is a tutorial or guide?
Is there a known or common specific order I should install the OSs?
Thanks (I hope I provided all the needed info - LMK if not, and I will add)
P.S. Is it possible to put 2 GPUs, an Nvidia to use with Win and Arch, while using the Radeon with Ventura?

Investing in portable solar panels can save you money in the long run by reducing your reliance on grid electricity. This is especially true if you live in an area with high electricity rates or experience frequent power outages.
Portable solar panels can also be a great option if you enjoy camping or outdoor activities, as they allow you to charge your devices even when you're off the grid.
In addition to the cost savings, portable solar panels are also a great way to reduce your carbon footprint and promote sustainable living. By using clean, renewable energy from the sun, you're helping to reduce your impact on the environment.

I have this build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Mbdhfv and i wanted to get a ups because in my area if it rains for more than 20 minutes the power goes on and off repeatedly also we get power outages pretty frequently aswell. the problem is idk what ups to get i will have this set up with a router a ps4 pro and a 20 kwh monitor what va ups will i need? i plan to spent up to 130€ for it.

Just curious

A question for those of you farther down the prepping lane…. I am on a remote site with a well. WIND is the #1 threat to power here. No power. No water. I am interested in the EcoFlow as an alternative to propane-powered generator. My thought is to start with a unit (units?) large enough to power my submersible pump, and add additional units/modules over time until I can power some lights, propane forced air furnace, etc. Any experiences out there with the EF system versus a conventional backup generator? Thanks for your perspective. LM

I had so many games in my backlog i didnt touch. I quit dota2 (too much toxicity and too long a single match for someone living in a third world country with random power outages). I was hooked to this game since day 01. It was like a dream. I used to dream with my friend about an open world game where you could RKO or chokeslam people from top of a skyscrapper, spear them on the roads. This game fulfilled all of that. The developers listened to feedback and tried their best to fix the broken parts, added quads, trios , new moves and new maps. It was heavenly. Wanted to see wwe or aew collaborations of some.sorts in the not so distant future. Now, ever since the game was removed, i have not touched a single game. I dont even use my PC or PS5 anymore. Giant swinging people in the river, sueprkicking them, etc ..felt amazing each time. I never got tired of RV for a single day. I awlays thought people would gradually elave and it will be filled with bots but the sudden news felt like a shock. I hope it comes back stronger. I am tired of the Hardcore shooter BR games now..I just want a good BR fighting game.

Hi everyone. A power outage hit my home today and knocked out my UPS. After the power recovered, I found that the partition on one of my raid disappeared. In disk manager it shows the disk is not initialized. I'm suspect that it is damaged partition table, the data itself may be safe. Is there any I can recover the partition table?
I have used data recovery software before, but most of them required a destination to pull out the files. The raid is so large and I don't have any other thing in hand to storage all the data, plus the process takes days if not weeks due to the slow drives and interfaces. Therefore it would be great if there is software that can recover the partition table without the need of copying out all the data.
Thanks.

I have a 3000 word blog essay due tmr and I still need to finalize it😥 should I ask for extension?

Curse this power outage I’m hungry and can’t microwave my noodle bowl this is devastating

i need to charge my stuff frfr
