Nice! All else being equal I’d rather have a big lithium setup (would tie nicely with my solar) but the house came with a generator, so the free generator won lol

5gbps fiber and then a 5G business internet backup failover via UniFi UDM-Pro, all on UPS with a standby Generac. We can take a power and ISP outage simultaneously and have a second or so connectivity hiccup.

Questions about power and the necessity of UPS in c/homelab@selfhosted.forum

Specifically for a lab it's less of an issue. I run UPSs at my network equipment/NAS and at desks at home - with people working from home & also cameras recording to the NAS, a power hit would be problematic.

I want to set up 5 powerful computers to run Mechanical Engineering software in my home office, and give remote access to my contractors on a daily basis. Which remote access works best for me? in c/homelab@selfhosted.forum

Mechdyne TGX is made for exactly this - it works beautifully. I ran across it while finding options for remote video editing during Covid, and we had spectacular success with it (major sports TV network). It’s significantly more bandwidth efficient than the competition, which was critical for us due to limited vpn bandwidth at the time.
