A recent power outage caused bit flips in a Proxmox SSD, prompting the installation of an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) and supporting automations for graceful shutdowns during outages. A Debian VM acts as a Network UPS Tools (NUT) server, monitoring the UPS battery status. When the UPS switches to battery mode, Proxmox initiates its shutdown sequence, followed by TrueNAS. This hopefully mitigates future data corruption during unexpected outage events.

The Zadoff-Chu (ZC) sequence is a widely used preamble in RF communication systems, valued for its sharp correlation peak, constant amplitude, and periodic nature. This article explores its mathematical properties, performance under different parameters, and real-world applications, including robust frame detection in noisy environments. Experimental results with a Pluto SDR demonstrate the ZC sequence's effectiveness in identifying OFDM frame boundaries and recovering transmitted symbols reliably.
