Hi /g/
I live in South America, and I work from home.
I need the computer and internet for my work.
Sometimes, there are power interruptions in my neighborhood, so that's a problem for my work. Those interruptions sometimes last 1 hour, sometimes 4 hours, sometimes the entire day.

I work with a laptop, so I can still use it without power for 3 or 4 hours, and I have a cellphone with 3g internet connection, so I enable the cellphone "hotspot" and use 3g internet from my laptop. However, that 3g internet connection usually is too slow or with too much lag. I need the internet to chat to my co-workers and to connect to servers. Having lag makes me wanna kill myself

Do you have any suggestion on how to keep working even without energy?
Laptop+3g sometimes is not enought as the laptop's battery and or the cellphone's battery runs out, and as I mentioned, the internet connection is too slow.

Get a fucking power generator or a big enough battery to last your laptop and modem a good amount of time

power invertor for car if you own a car
UPS for charging once for 30 minutes
but my suggestion, get an actual generator holy shit that's terrible

didn't think of powering the modem.
It needs 15v, 1.5a

Thanks! powering that + my laptop with battery would be perfect

120w solar panel, solar charge controller, deep cycle battery (SLA), inverter or just run laptop and other stuff off DC power (with stepup/down).
