an OTP option or the DIY Raspberry Pi option

I'm about to lose all of my Pi setups for (mini) NAS, home assistant, pihole etc...

They just aren't stable enough - my guess (and it is just a wild guess) is because of power problems.

UPS would be fairly straight forward, no? Just plug a USB battery pack in series.

redundancy rabbit-hole

I have an OTP NAS that is mirrored to WD MyCloud (terrible interface, terrible NAS OS, but does the basics), which is in turn synced to locally to a desktop and then to my own S3 VPS.

[Edit] just looked at your links. I have the MyCloud EX2 Ultra.

Don't get it.

As I mentioned - it does the basics, but it's a very locked down OS / virtual container, and i've had to do some fragile af fuckery on it to make it work as I would like (e.g. having seamless integration with my desktop over ssh).

Good guess.

Mine are super stable, very reliable. But I do have a ups so that would be it

I learned last night that we had experienced a powercut while we were away, which explains why so many things were grumbling.

I've had a UPS on my wishlist for a while.

Any recommendations?
