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 have all of my important electronics (computers, entertainment center, network equipment) on CP1500PFCLCD. They’re scattered around the house, so there are multiple CP1500PFCLCD.

    …then there’s a 22 kW gas generator that handles everything once it switches on.
