UPS reported a 9-second power loss this morning. NAS stayed up, including the expansion enclosure, and would&#39;ve done an orderly shutdown had the power loss been extended. Neat!

i/o errors again! ok so it&#39;s not the cats brushing up against a super awkward cable, it just sucks i can try giving the usb ports a more thorough cleaning, and swap out the cable again hm, one other thing i can try (sigh) is to flip the USB-C side of the connection to see if the other set of conductors on the USB-C side is better

But I knew the world hated &quot;transsexuals&quot; and didn&#39;t feel safe *doing* anything or *telling* anyone about it as a child even in a very progressive family.
