Well... Pops and I went through the house with a find toothed comb. We can't figure out where all the smoke was coming from last night. Nothing smells like it was burning or anything.
We did find a bad circuit breaker but it's a chicken & the egg scenario... Did the circuit breaker blow and cause all the smoke... or did something else cause all the smoke and blow the circuit breaker... Found a couple of power outlets that needed to be replaced, and did that. Other than that, all is clear.
Wow...what a night.
Didn't find any burnt rodent or insect husks in the breaker or surrounding areas?
Does one of your kids have a chemistry set? I used to make some horrific aromas with mine, some with smoke, some without.

I just added a 7.24TiB md raid 10 lvm on iscsi storage device to my xenserver pool. Testing how it performs now.

Nope. No dead rodents or pets or chemistry sets (yet). Best I can figure is the circuit breaker burned out and smoked up the place. The living room circuit tripped and was fine, but the one for the stove had to be replaced.
Humpty Dumpty has been back together for hours now and no worse for the wear. We don't know what caused it... But whatever it did definitely took out our stove's breaker.

Maybe the stove did something funky. Is it new or old?

Relatively new... (I'd guess 3 to 5 years due to the safety features on it). Gas stove with electric ignition and digital clocks timers, etc). When the power blips on it, it locks it self so the gas won't run at all until we unlock it.
No burn marks or smells anywhere we checked.

It doesn't seem like a gas one would overload a breaker. You, sir, have electrical gremlins!

That's what I'm thinking. The fire crew checked under the house too. Best we can tell is something overloaded the system here and caused a thermal resistor somewhere in the line to flash burn. (Lots of smoke, no fire, plenty of bad smells 'till the house airs out).
But what caused the surge... we have no idea.

It's not a problem unless you can repeat it. Or so I tell my users anyway.

Yepp. We're all happy, healthy, and the house is still standing... So, I'll chalk this one up to a fluke.

Oh, like 5 people posted in the time it took me to reply. -

Deciding if I want to leave this laptop that is currently cloning itself to a SSD running during a torrential downpour.
What are the odds the power goes out, and if it does, what are the odds the outage will be long enough to exhaust the battery?
I guess I could find an unused UPS, but eh...

Drag to hear about your foot.
This morning we are on a commuter train instead of a normal international one headed from Amsterdam to Berlin.
Thanks. That thing is getting bigger and bigger
A bit more and it will start to ask for a name. We're in ER now. It's warm, relatively high humidity and many people with circulation problems.@Dashrender: Do you already know when you will be in Hamburg?
yes I arrive at 10:30 am on wednesday

The milk train? That's going to take forever!
The one via Bad Bentheim?
yes.

Hot and muggy here, just had to switch to AC. Now that the rain has stopped.
we would kill for some AC in Germany - some western ideas still aren't common over here.

Because it doesn't get so hot there.

I believe I will have to check and make sure that they were fed before midnight last night. May be the root cause, ha ha.
