A 'power outage' incident doesn't seem to have been mitigated. My homelab has had evolving mitigations: I cut a hole in the side of a small UPS so I could connect it to a larger (car) battery for longer uptime, which got replaced by a dedicated inverter/charger/transfer-switch attached to a big-ass AGM caravan battery (which on a couple of occasions powered through two-to-three hour power outages), and has now been replaced with these recent LiFePo4 battery power station thingies.

Of course, it's only a homelab, there's nothing critically important that I'm hosting, but that's not the dang point, I want to beat most of "the things", and I don't like having to check that everything has rebooted properly after a minor power fluctuation (I have a few things that mount remote file stores and these mounts usually fail upon boot due to the speed at which certain devices boot up - and I've decided not to solve that yet).
