Not the most exciting bit of tech but over the past few weeks I’ve been experiencing power cuts, one was overnight and lasted 30 minutes or so and the others were brief blips, but it was enough to take my router, NAS, home server (with home assistant on) out
So I bought a Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) - it’s not a professional one or the most powerful, but it suits my needs and accepts standard UK plugs instead of IEC13/14
All my stuff seems to use about 100 watts most of the time and the metrics says the internal battery will last about 33 minutes in the event of a power cut - that’s more than enough for me as I plan to automate shutting down the NAS gracefully etc - but gives piece of mind + keeps the home network up for a bit and possibly the internet too assuming any fibre optic infrastructure upstream hasn’t lost power too
Bit of a stretch of the term “tech” I think with this one.
As a man rapidly approaching 40 and has been going back to the gym this seems like a no brainer. Bought this pretty basic version before I look into a more fancy/pricy option.
