Yeah, a whole house genset is on my list. I have a small one, but it can’t run my heat pump; it’s mostly just used to keep my servers and fridge running.
I live near a few important things and am on the same part of the grid as them, so unless it’s a very local outage (basically on my street), then it usually gets fixed pretty quickly because the important things are also down. So that’s kind-of kept me from really making a generator a priority.
And that is why winter as an electrician is Generator Hookup Season
I swear those are easily half the calls I get rn

I used to live between Camp David and Raven Rock and no matter what happened my power never went out.
You’re pretty safe when the power comes from underground.
Start installing Gentoo on your servers with the generator and turn them into heaters. ;p
