Took a sick day. Cold recovery all day. Medium bowl of oatmeal with milk, flax meal, cacao nibs, toasted and sliced almonds, toasted and shredded coconut, diced half banana; water. Lunch: I prepared for myself vegan ramen with broccoli and mushrooms, water to drink. Patrick and I watched The Mandalorian s3:e5 on Disney+. Our internet stopped working due to the UPS for the ONT failing after over 7 years of service. I called Sonic and spoke with Andrew who said that they would not replace it for free even though there's a thread in their discussion forums where Dane suggests it might be replaced for free. My other options from Sonic were to wait for an AC adapter to arrive by mail (at least several days) or purchase a replacement UPS from them for $99 and it could be scheduled tomorrow. I told him I would resolve it on my own, and within about 30 minutes I did. The ONT requires 12V. I moved the mini UPS for our router to the ONT, then restored the router's original AC adapter. I then ordered another mini UPS for $80, and it is expected to arrive tomorrow. For reference to other Sonic customers, the mini UPS I'm using Shanqiu's FX5-12 Pro found on Amazon plugged into the 12V 3.5A DC output with the plug adapter labeled H. Patrick departed to stay three nights in a hotel in the Castro to give him some much-needed space since I have been at home sick for a long time. Dinner at home by myself: leftover homemade pepperoni and mushroom pizza, water. Continued reading Tony Fadell's Build. Covid cases in San Francisco are the lowest they have been since late November 2021.
