So, do you own an UPS to protect your home server and desktop

I have solar panels and a house-wide electricity backup.

UPS is for Pajeets.

Everyone should have one. I live in an old house with power that tends to fry electronics. My spending on replacement equipment has gone way down since buying a UPS.
Just make sure you get one that's compatible compatible with active PFC.

i don't live in a thirld world country

>thirld
apperantly you do

Firstly, I don't live in the third world. Secondly, my server just boots up again after power loss, a good file system handles the rest.

Sorry for bad English please thank

>If not - why? What's your excuse?

Last power cut was about 10 years ago.
And contrary to popular belief computers don't blow up when cut the power.

>apperantly

>>58046745 My apartment is 30m away from 1600kva substation build in late soviet times. Still pretty decent. No blackouts or damaged equipment whatsoever. There might be short power losses once a year, which are enough to reboot some of the devices, but it is not a big deal.

I don't live in a shithole country, electricity is safely managed here.

I have one, because I live in the countryside and not a week goes by without a power outage. when I lived in a city, power outages were extremely rare and I got 550 days on uptime on my server without a UPS.

electricity uptime
99.5% 2010
99.1% 2011
98.9% 2012 (snow and shit)
99.7% 2013
99.5 2014
99.2 2015
100% 2016
What's your point OP?

>>58046745
Yes, 2, one for the actual server, router, modem, switch and one for my desktop / personal server.

It's great that nothing shuts down / I don't lose internet access if there's a power blip or a storm knocks it out (however briefly).

Why a UPS? I have heard that "conditioned" sine waves are better for your equipment but who cares. Do you want to live forever?

>>58046745
because i live in a city/country with an infrastructure that is not shit
also i am poor

>What's your excuse?
1. I'd rather not have a living breathing housefire under my desk.
2. Not having electricity is not a big deal.

>>58046745
Got a laptop and a surge protector. That's all I need.

>>58047426
99% uptime means 14 minutes of downtime per day. How do you justify that?

>>58047542
You don't need to be on the computer all the time, you know

>>58047601
>you don't need to breathe all the time, you know

>IKEA type desk

why has /g/ so shitty taste?

>>58047601
>I want my daemons to stop, my transfers to break, and to lose remote access to my machine

kek

>>58047800
Sorry, what do you mean by "IKEA type"?
it was actually custom made, dude.

>>58047748
Go shitpost in some other thread.

>>58047445
I have the same setup. When the setup was new, my Internet would stay up forever even when power was gone. The UPS I use for networking is a cheap turd, though. So I'm not sure how well it works today.

>>58047426
1% is a fucking huge ammount
something like 0,1% at max should be allowed

>>58046765
Do you know what UPS means?

just replaced the battery in my UPS. working like a champ now!

>>58046788
>power that tends to fry electronics
>America is the first world

I live in a third world country (USA)
But unfortunately the one I want to buy from work is rack mounted and I don't have room for it.

>>58046745
I don't have a home server and my computer has survived me accidentally plugging it out multiple times, so I think it will survive a power outage.

>>58051652
It's not about 'surviving' a power outage. It's about not shutting off if your power goes out for a few minutes, and protecting from surges.

>>58051709
To be honest I would probably not care if it shut down for a while, and I've(nor people I know) never had anything break from a surge.
