[ODLK1] Electrical work 2

It seems that in my area electrical works are every month!

On 16/05/2024 from 9:00 to 13:00 there is no electrical power in the area again, so no connection to server (power supply should be able to carry the 4h of power off and still run the server, but without connection to internet).

Thanks
