Oddly similar in ways to my night last night... Was doing laundry until around 3am and was getting ready to go to bed. Suddenly someone (thing?) rings my doorbell at around 3:30 and I get kind of paranoid.
Ended up staying up to around 6am keeping an eye on things.
Maybe get some solar power? If you live in a house solar power should be a good investment isn't it? Some solar power cells and some batteries and would be enough to for light and computer. Solar water heating is better for saving money though.
Lucky you, I get them three times a day. If I'm lucky.

In Brazil a good UPS would be around US$200.
I'd vouch for that, if he has cash to spare.
Of course, it wouldn't be enough for drawing from the start, unless he's quick doing that.
These are cheap to get from Ebay, usually those sold as "defective" are only needing new power cells or need replacing some transistors, always the same two are burned.
I got myself a Smart-UPS 1000VA like 20 years ago for free.

Okay, I read this comic, felt sympathy for Jo, and then hit 'back' to re-read some of the recent archives...
...and the site went down.
It was only for a couple of minutes, but the juxtaposition of the *site's* uptime and the content of the comic is downright CREEPY. :J
