In light of the UK government's recent advice to households to stock up on food and water in anticipation of potential interruption of supplies this winter, I thought I'd do a little thread on #DisasterPrep for people who aren't gun-obsessed misanthropes as someone who has managed water and sanitation for a few ecological fieldwork and bushcraft camps. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/sep/03/angela-eagle-uk-stock-up-supplies-el-nino-warning 1/🧵 #ClimateBreakdown

I'm looking around for a UPS with good runtime as backup power for my modem in power outages; i.e., not 23 minutes, but several hours.

It's frustrating trying to read through fake reviews and AI slop.

#DuckDuckFedi, I would love recomendations from people who know what they're talking about for A) brands & models or B) reliable info sources/reviews for a UPS suitable for a modem with 7+ hours runtime (my current standard to beat). Thank you.
