[Powerstation-discuss] Occupy SF

and power brick) if "the internet ain't working" on them.

This has been an ongoing issue, is not limited to wifi gear. When I was at
camp yesterday eight things were drawing from the battery, with only two
being used.

I've spoken with a lot of people about the need to conserve power but
unless someone is down there 24/7 it is challenging to get folks to heed
that advice. Maybe some kind of workshop would be useful?

Early in the occupation I hid a battery for wifi and that improved
reliability. I am strongly pressing for setting aside a dedicated battery
for: noisebridge internet box, a poe cable for new gear for salon link and
the led light strip. There's already a rubbermaid tub with holes cut in
it, it'd be easy to add chain and a lock, all the other batteries could be
used for whatever purpose or experiments people want to conduct  :)
