How can I endure in my coding journey living in a country like Nigeria with erratic electricity.??.

By using a computer that doesn't need much power in the first place, i.e. a non-gaming laptop such as the Ryzen U series.

And then either buffering electricity cuts just with the laptop battery, or if the cuts are too long, using some solar cell setup to generate your own electricity.

The main problem is that you need to be able to afford that, or jerry-rig something together.

Thanks man

@Fast-Nop You just said "learn electrical engineering first" in a round about way. ;-)

UPS is the standard answer, but a laptop and solar panel is indeed an interesting alternative for Africa

@electrineer Or a bike and a generator.

Cheap chromebook and solar panel would be my choice personally. Internet would be a bigger concern.

@Demolishun For powering a laptop, or other low-power devices, that could actually work depending on the efficiency of the setup.

Oh and use linux, this will save you lots of battery

@jonas-w I'm running on Kali .

@electrineer how many hours of backup does it av... I'm thinking of trying a wattbank

@himagites You can get UPS for all sorts of internal battery sizes, it's just a question of price.

Or you get one or more USB powerbanks. These come with up to 150Wh which is about three times a normal laptop battery. Laptop with USB charging capability (USB-C usually) required. That would be the cheapest solution.

Or you get a solar panel, a 12V lead battery (ideally for solar use, not a car starter battery), a power point tracker to interface panel and battery, and then a 12V-to-USB adaptor to attach a laptop that you can charge via USB, plus some LED light for the night.

On a general note, Europe has cut itself off of Russian energy supply and is going for alternative vendors. Since the Russian supply networks cannot be that easily re-routed to other parts of the world, Europe's approach boils down to out-bidding developing countries on the worldwide energy market.

Nigeria does have lots of oil and gas of its own, being Africa's largest producer, but rising gas prices due to foreign demand will only worsen the situation for Nigerian citizens, given that the Nigerian electricity network relies mainly on gas power plants.

So, if you have the space for the solar approach and don't need to take it with you when travelling around, eliminating the grid dependency would be the second best solution IMO - short of leaving Nigeria.
