Not only is a DIY UPS unreliable, but it could be potentially dangerous unless you are an electrician, an electrical engineer, or somebody that has extensive knowledge of both the engineering side and safety side. How many CyberPower units do you have? It's impressive that you have enough UPS power to run a NAS for that long.

I am not a great believer in long term happiness. I studied under a wise Zen master for two years that said the following:

Happiness and sadness are fleeting emotions. We are only expected to experience them for snapshots in time. A sense of peace and acceptance can, however, be achievable.

It's honestly not because you have to watch shows (more or less) on their schedule. The true advantage of streaming is that you can easily pause and rewind.

I use BTRFS simply because I run a rolling distro of Linux. For the average user, I don't think it is quite as necessary but the snapshots are nice. Of course, you could use timeshift to make snapshots as well.

I have a Dell OptiPlex 7050 acting as a router. But I don't do any port forwarding. Instead, I have an Oracle Always Free VM that is connected to my server via a WireGuard tunnel. The cloud VM acts as reverse proxy to all of the services that I host. The OptiPlex 7050 is running OpenBSD.

If the ice cream is cheap and shitty, neither flavor will be good. But honestly I like vanilla and chocolate together. They're nice complimentary flavors.

Self-harm and major depressive disorder are mutually exclusive. While they certainly can be comorbidities, it's not common. But if you do feel down the road that you want help, there's no shame in it. Mental illness is a no fault condition.

I'm not a doctor but I suffer from major depressive disorder, a type of mental illness. If you think you might need help please reach out to 988 if you are in the states. You're worth it!

Certifications were offered. Yep.

6 months now and they love it.

Sometimes two hours.
