I can’t help much on the power draw side of this question, but one thing to look out for with a UPS is some sort of communication option. (Usually NUT over ethernet, but there are some USB options too.) Most modern UPS brands will have a plugin you can install on your Raspberry Pi and Mini PC that allows your UPS to signal, “Hey, I’ve got 3% of battery life, you actually need to gracefully shut down now.” It’s mostly useful for NAS applications with spinning drives, but it could help save your Pi’s SD card potentially.

It’s a pretty standard feature these days, but the cheapest of the cheap will omit it.

I loved the New Trek rewatch podcast The Greatest Trek’s running joke of referring to Admiral Vance as anything but his actual name.

You know, Admiral Police-Captain-In-A-Gritty-Crime-Thriller-That’s-A-Casting-Mistake-Because-He’s-Distractingly-Attractive. https://youtu.be/gChtl014aLk?si=K64RvGwkgq2M05Zl&t=3164

(That’s a YouTube timestamp link. It should automatically jump you 52 minutes into their Discovery retrospective episode to the segment with their Admiral Just-For-Men supercut.)

Derpy power couples always end up being the first of your college friends to buy a house the reformers of your planet’s economic system.

Leeta and Rom are some of the most earnest characters in Star Trek. I’m so glad Bashir’s beard didn’t fade into obscurity after their rite of separation.

I wanted to make something a little indulgent this weekend. These burritos are stuffed with chopped brisket, home fries with poblano and onions, scrambled eggs, and topped with homemade white queso, guac, and roja salsa. It was a fun mashup up diner vibes and Tex-Mex smokiness.

They steered them back towards normal looking after the first season for what it’s worth. They literally have a character comment, “Oh hey, you’re all growing beards again.”

This is excellently done.

Lower Decks never misses unless you’re one of those folks with the Trek equivalent of the cilantro soap gene who just can’t get on board with an animated comedy show.

Modern Star Trek has its ups and downs. I’m just glad there’s so much of it. Discovery can have a weird National Treasure season, and Picard can have a bumpy Covid year, but there’s probably something interesting going on in Lower Decks or Strange New Worlds. (Or vice versa.)

I’m just happy characters like Stamets weren’t a one off experiment. It’s delightful to see queer folk continue to pop up in the main cast of other shows.

Aahh, you’re totally right. I should have combined the first two panels and just ended it at the third.
