light bulbs

2008-12-28 by tg@

Yesternight, not only my server crashed in the softupdates code again (*sigh* two RAID 1 rebuilds and a lot of fsck(8)), but also one of these energy saving light bulbs (13W). This proves that they do not have a longer lifetime than regular bulbs.

I oppose the planned ban of regular light bulbs, because, although almost(!) all of mine are energy saving ones, some of the propaganda apparently is wrong, plus they are not good in situations where the light switch is used very often, or when the light is only on for very short amounts, such as in the entrance area of an appartement (say 1½ m²).

What did I do? Meh, just some bootloader hacking.
