Belkin OmniGuard 2300 with nut under linux
Just posting this for google to find it, since there’s not much helpful out there online now:
The Belkin Omniguard family of UPSes can be made to work with nut by using the “gamatronic” driver. Neither the belkin nor belkinunv drivers work, bu gamatronic seems to work just fine. I guessed this based on some random post I did find on the internet from someone saying they’d forward-ported something they called the SEC drive from an older nut release; grepping the current nut tree’s source code I found some SEC_xyz defines in the gamatronic driver, so I just tried that, and it worked.

I have a new favorite Unicode character
My favorite used to be the right-to-left override character. My new favorite is the zero width non-breaking space. Just think about that for a minute. Of course, people use it as a byte-order marker at the start of documents, but the concept of a zero-width non-breaking space is just so abstract that I can’t help but love it.03.12.08
