back in those days, we hardly used our phones :P

true but with the radios off, the batteries last a lot longer.

I imagine the Nokia E7 in Offline mode would last about a week without being charged, even if on.

One thing I forget about the Nokia E7: the alarm works even if the phone is powered off. ?

@kdfrawg I suppose that's one way to look at it.

@kdfrawg tomorrow is the day I need to be up at 4, not today. :P

except I needed to be up in about 20 minutes from now anyway…

Not sure why I decided to wake up at 4am and not fall back asleep, but I gave up trying to sleep.

The various instance sizes in AWS have bandwidth limitations. t2.micro instances are probably fine for now but if you ever get really popular, you might have to swap out for bigger instance types.

Don't even get me started on systemd, FYI. ?
