    I run a NUC and a few other network things off a 125W elcheapo $20 bestek(?) inverter off the house battery.

    Sure it gets converted twice but actual watts wasted are minimal in a low power scheme, and the juice is cleaner in the end.

    And consider DIYing a big house battery. The cells are cheap now. I built a 1200Ah LFP bank just because it fit nicely in the compartment. Then throw some solar at it.

    And for backup, just get a large spinning external and plug it in occasionally to sync a copy. Put it back in the Tupperware for cold storage.

    Ed: why the downvote?
