- mac-chaffee 5y agoMy last outage was a power outage on a sunny day that lasted slightly longer than our battery backups. Without economies of scale, installing/maintaining extra generators for a small self-managed data center is prohibitively expensive. There's always a service provider somewhere in the chain who can drop the ball.
