I live in a part of the world where powercuts are pretty frequent. 1 per day is normal. They last between 1 and 8 hours. A day without powercuts feels like a special occasion.

My machine is powered by a desktop ups which is terrible. It is only supposed to power everything for a few minutes to shutdown safely. But it is cheap and I don’t know much about other affordable alternatives.

How do you folks who self host at home deal with powercuts? Any recommendations? 8 hours of uptime from a ups sounds almost impossible or totally unaffordable to me.

    I am totally out of the loop. Why is Texas’s power grid that bad right now?

        Not just the GOP, but privatization of public goods and services. Profit motive is a terrible way to run a power grid.

          Just the GOP. All done by Republicans.GOP sold off public property for a quick buck.

          Texans got exactly who they voted for.
