That was a bit of a rant; in fact, I couldn't be bothered to read it all.
I bought a APC back-up 800 UPS many years ago after 6 power outages in
one day It's sufficient to supply 2 PCs and their monitors, a Buffalo
network backup device and the hub that connects them (operation time 17
mins) . I have replaced the battery once. I use the excellent apcupsd
software. Not a great expense in the wider scheme of things, and I'm
very pleased I have it. According to the log, most outages are very
short - a few seconds - and there have been 56 since 29 October 2017.
'Nuff said
Regards to all
