For reference, I’ve been in the Linux administration industry for … Uh, I think nineteen years professionally? It’s expired now, but I was an RHCE back when that was moderately meaningful. I am familiar with the concepts, just had only barely heard of the tool.

I mostly was hoping to make someone laugh with my misconstruement of the classic catchphrase.

Thank you for the explanations though!

I have only recently woken up after thoroughly inadequate sleep. I also didn’t watch any Star Trek until COVID, so it’s not particularly engrained in my cultural awareness.

So when I was thinking of the Borg in response to your post, my mind didn’t go to “resistance is futile” but, instead, “all your base are belong to us.”

That tool sounds pretty cool though! I’ve been very lazily looking for a good backup solution, so thank you for the name!

I guess you’d have to wake up to switch it over, but honestly just a power bank with a standard outlet would probably be adequate.

The CPAP model I use is meant for travel. When I bought it, it originally offered a bundle including - essentially - a power bank. It looks like that bundle is no longer offered, but now there appears to be a whole range of accessories meant to deal with loss or lack of power.
