  1. When does a UPS/gateway race condition happen? When you are lots of kms from the office, of course…
    So, I learned how to solve the race condition correctly using #nut and #OpenBSD with my #Eaton UPS (strongly recommended 'cos they don't cloudy cloud and speak USB or serial perfectly).
    The problem statement is simple:

    * UPS on battery
    * shutdown initiated
    * shutdown completes
    * power returns before UPS is a 0%
    * gateway machine remains happily off because there is no up/down on the power
    * you are far from the office and there is nobody to press the power button on the gateway for you.

    The solution I worked out with documentation and searches (thank you @kagihq ) is:

    upsmon detects FSD (low battery / POWERDOWNFLAG trigger)
    -> creates POWERDOWNFLAG file (e.g. /var/run/killpower)
    -> executes SHUTDOWNCMD ("shutdown -p now")
    -> OS shuts down processes, remounts FS read-only
    -> /etc/rc.shutdown runs
    -> checks: upsmon -K (exits 0 if POWERDOWNFLAG exists)
    -> calls: upsdrvctl shutdown
    -> starts a fresh driver instance: usbhid-ups -a eaton -k
    -> driver sends "shutdown.return" to UPS
    -> UPS timer starts (ups.delay.shutdown seconds)
    -> OS completes power-off via ACPI
    -> UPS cuts load output
    -> (mains may already be back)
    -> UPS restores load on mains presence
    -> BIOS "boot on power restore" fires

    Hope this helps someone else too :flan_hacker:​

  5. This is how my #HomeLab is powered. #EcoFlow River 3 for long power outages and #Eaton UPS between it and servers because EcoFlow's UPS capabilities are shitty. Eaton UPS also gives me the ability to change the HomeLab power source without interruptions.

    I just tested graceful shutdown on my #HomeLab through #HomeAssistant and #Proxmox API. Worked very well, but I have an unresolved corner case.

    Introduction Lansing is the capital city of the State of Michigan and is located toward the southeastern side of Michigan’s Lower Peninsula, located primarily in Ingham County with portions extending north into Clinton County and west into Eaton County. Interestingly, the city is unique among state capitals for not serving as a county seat as well, since Mason serves as the county seat of Ingham County, Charlotte serves Eaton County, and Saint Johns serves Clinton County.

  12. undefined | We're trimming our stake in an AI winner to take advantage of great prices

    We are trimming our position in Eaton, selling 25 shares at roughly $384.30 each. The sale reduces Jim Cramer’s Charitable Trust holding to 225 shares (about 2.40% of the portfolio, down from 2.67%). The decision comes as the market rallied on Wednesday, offering an attractive exit point for a stock that has already delivered a 65% gain since it was bought in December 2023.

    The move is also driven by broader geopolitical concerns. While the U.S.–Iran cease‑fire is expected to hold for only two weeks, there remains a risk that tensions could flare again—especially after reports that Iran halted passage through the Strait of Hormuz in response to Israel’s strikes on Lebanon. By locking in profits now, the trust safeguards against a potential market sell‑off if the situation escalates.

    For CNBC Investing Club subscribers, this trade will appear as a trade alert before Jim Cramer actually executes it. He typically waits 45 minutes after issuing an alert and, if the stock has been discussed on CNBC TV, an additional 72 hours before the trade is carried out. The club’s disclosures note that no fiduciary duty is created by the information provided.

  18. Как я купил бесперебойник Eaton Ellipse ECO 1600 и устроил себе квест по реанимации ИБП

    Не так давно я опубликовал статью «Когда покупка ИБП становится приключением» , где рассказывал про неудачный опыт покупки «нового» ИБП Green Cell 1500VA. Тот хлам я все же вернул продавцу, получив свои денежки обратно. Но от идеи приобрести хороший ИБП задешево не отказался. Покопавшись пару часов на онлайн-барахолке, нашел нового претендента — Eaton Ellipse ECO 1600 за 140 евро (160 с доставкой, новый стоит чуть больше 400). Продавец с хорошей репутацией выставил его как «новый», и я решил попробовать рискнуть еще раз. О том, попил ли я в итоге шампанское и о самом ИБП узнать можно под катом — там много интересного.

  19. Yesterday we had an unplanned #downtime for about 2 hours because someone from hosting deployed a firmware update to the UPS battery. Manufacturer #Eaton claimed it wouldn’t interrupt power to the machines connected (you know the U in UPS is for "uninterruptable"?)—but it did so for a second.

  20. Donald Trump and his defense secretary Pete Hegseth are mounting an aggressive push to #politicise the top ranks of the US #military
    – a push that smacks of #Stalinism and could take years to repair,
    the former infantry chief who trained troops to invade Iraq has warned.

    Maj Gen Paul #Eaton has sounded the alarm, saying in an interview with the Guardian that the effort to bend the higher echelons of the military to the US president’s will was unparalleled in recent history
    and could have long-term dire consequences.

    He warned that both the reputation and efficiency of the world’s most powerful fighting force was in the balance.
    “There is an active effort to ❌politicise the armed forces,” Eaton said.
    “Once you infect the body, the cure may be very difficult and painful for presidents downstream.”

    He added that the actions of Trump and his chosen head of the Pentagon were putting the standing of the military as an independent entity, free from party politics, at risk.
    “As the phrase goes, reputation is built a drop at a time and emptied in buckets.”

  22. Replacing the battery of an Eaton 5e UPS

    blog.narf.ssji.net/2025/12/30/

    My Eaton 5Ee850iUSB-AU UPS needed its battery replaced. I considered replacing the Pb battery with a LiFePO4. It isn’t worth it, but it was an interesting exercise in working out why.

  29. Couple of vulnerabilities I found from #Eaton Rack PDU G4:

    ETN-VA-2025-1002: Multiple vulnerabilities detected in Eaton G4 PDU

    #CVE_2025_48393
    CVSS v3.1 Base Score – 5.7 CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:L

    The server identity check mechanism for firmware upgrade performed via command shell is insecurely implemented potentially allowing an attacker to perform a Man-in-the-middle attack.

    #CVE_2025_48394
    CVSS v3.1 Base Score – 4.7 CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L

    An attacker with authenticated and privileged access could modify the contents of a nonsensitive file by traversing the path in the limited shell of the CLI.

    These vulnerabilities are fixed in firmware version 3.5.0 and later. It is recommended to upgrade the device firmware as soon as possible.
