I found this old screenshot but can't figure out where it's from.
Edit: People in the comments have confirmed it's from The Garden of Words (Kotonoha no Niwa) (2013).
Thanks to everyone in this community for helping me out.
That's impressive! In your experience, how does the lithium battery compare to a lead acid one?
More info on how you built your setup please
Not a lot of critical services but I would absolutely need things like pihole.
Just realized, I can host the critical ones on the ARM device and the services which I can do without for some time can stay on the current server.
I agree. Its never worth the risk.
I think I'll start with inverter + battery. Then add batteries in the future depending on my power needs.
I should probably clarify that the 8 hour ones are infrequent. Once in a month or two. But those are the days that are really annoying. The regular ones are like two hours a day or an hour at 3 different times in a day. All the other appliances are manageable but I have to shutdown my server every time.
It's odd how people get used to the powercuts. It becomes a part of our lives.
Hadn't thought of generators. But I feel those might be overkill for me.
Yeah, been looking into Pi's and its alternatives. But with the external drives I think I'll need a big powerbank or I've to DIY a ups
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.
