@kattfisk That seems to imply that you cannot personally listen to or watch recordings that you have made in public. In doing so, you are abstracting personal details that you might have missed before, refreshing your memory, and so on. What is the material difference between you doing this without machine help versus with automation that makes it ethically problematic? What if a friend helped you, not a machine?
@tofu It depends on your local power system. At my house, I see frequent under voltage conditions. Also, some devices are more tolerant than others. You’ll find power conditioning in pretty much all data centers.
@tofu UPSs have some glitches, but the benefits of the power conditioning they do (the good ones) outweigh the trouble of the rare glitch. For example, reducing wear and tear on the electronics they power. Also, the performance of some electronics is highly sensitive to the quality of power provided (e.g., no under- or over-voltage conditions). I don’t rely on the UPS for surge protection. For that, I use upstream Tripp-Lite outlets.
@tofu I like it. Your “for now” comment is on point; there is always more to do!
For comparison, here is my 19” 15U rack , also a work in progress: PDU, ventilation, 16 port switch, 2U mount for up to 8 Raspberry PI s or NAS., and a 8x KVM HDMI/USB switch to connect the RPis to a small monitor, keyboard and mouse on top. I use one RPi for #HomeAssistant, another for home security cameras and other video, one for HomeBridge, one for Pi-Hole, and other for experimentation and testing. A UPS is in back. I Iove that the rack is on wheels because I frequently move it to get access to the back.

@EncryptKeeper That’s my experience. Zombied home computers are big business. The networks are thousands of computers. I had a hacker zombie my printer(!) maybe via an online fax connection and it/they then proceeded to attack everything else on my network. One older machine succumbed before I could lock everything down.
