Honestly no idea. I use Home Assistant and just keep an eye on the stats. It’s in an unheated garage that sees humidity of 40-60% and temps from 50F to 80f and it’s just chugged along.

I’m running an APC Smart UPS 1500 (APC-SUA1500R2) and I have never had any issues with pis. I’ve only used the 2/3 gens and a pizero.

RefurbUPS, new batteries every 3 years (i have handed over all my old ones to a local club and most of them are still going strong). I have a rack so i bought a rack unit. No rack might be cheaper even. Don’t cheap out though.

Depending on the model there’s also a dev menu that disables some phoning home/connectivity shit

VM is backed up daily to PBS then synced to an external and off-site.

All the photos are on the NAS and backed up to an external and off-site.

If I’m using “AI” to generate subtitles for the “community” is ok if i have a large “datastore” of “licensable media” stored locally to work off of right?

I just have it send a notification of available update. No auto for me.

They paid. Which means they can pay again. And pay more. Maybe all of it. It’s a shakedown.
