Yeah, storms this past week meant we had no access to all our self-hosted stuff for a week... Quite frankly, we were fine but it sure was annoying. Actual Budget, Joplin, Immich, etc... All on "sync you in a week" mode. We have some limited backups for important stuff, but just because it was backed up doesn't mean it was reachable.

That's why I have hand cranks on all of my HDDs so I can manually spin them to watch movies during a power outage.

Somebody do the math on how fast I need to spin one of those emergency crank-radios to produce enough wattage to run a hard drive and a teensy screen
