I’m not bad, but I suspect I’m worse than a lot of guys out there

Zero problems, often times stuff in the house is actually hotter than stuff in the garage funnily enough, even in summer

Yes, I have a 27kw Natural Gas standby generator with an ATS. It takes 10 seconds from power failure, to it switching to generator power. So, the UPS just bridges that gap

In the extremely unlikely even the natural gas goes out, I have a 7.2kw Tri-fuel portable generator (Gasoline, NG and Propane) and I keep around 80 gallons of gasoline on hand, and I have an inlet and interlock on the main breaker, so I can switch to that if needed

I have Bitwarden set to give my wife access if she requests it and I don’t respond in X days

Things generally “just work” so she would have access to everything, and she can figure out what she wants to do. All the passwords are there and all of the configs are fairly easy for stuff she cares about anyway

Honestly, I’m not 100% sure. I don’t have a way to monitor just the stuff in the rack as the UPS also powers a lot of other stuff in the house. Either way, I’ve worked to make everything fairly low power, or at least as low power as feasible. The things that use the most power is the disks

I can tell you its less than 800w though, as that’s the lowest the UPS goes at night. But that also does include both me and my wifes desktops which stay on 24/7, and an Apple TV, and standby power for all devices etc
