    Ghetto 12v UPS

    The battery charger outputs ~13.5v (it's a float type charger) and I use the computer PSU for regulation to other devices like the monitor and speakers.

    Ghetto 12v UPS

    It's just an AGM lead acid battery and a charger. I pulled the charger out of an old RV. I estimate I'll get over 10 hours runtime from it, since I used a 115 amp hour battery. A few solar panels wouldn't be hard to add, but I'm not currently running off grid.

    Monitors -- Features and What YOU Recommend

    IPS, high pixel density, at least 1920×1080, external power brick, 12v input preferred. My ghetto UPS doesn't have an inverter, everything runs directly off 12v.

    Best Redundancy

    Backups every 30 min to 3 continents and a single stable VM. No cloudflare, CDNs, etc. This gives me plenty uptime and I haven't felt the need to add redundant webservers.  DNS is replicated to 4 DDoS protected VPSs and I have never had a DNS related outage when using my own DNS clusters...

    New York - What Interest is there?

    Same applies to US residents on the east coast. For me it's a toss up between EU and western US as far as network speeds and latency goes.

    What Munin graphs are important to you?

    The IOPS graph is handy for seeing which VM is (or was) the cause of an iowait spike.

    Your new VPS is provisioned, what is the first thing you do once you connect?

    For KVM, Xen, dedis, etc: curl http://xx.xx.xx.xx/setup.sh|bash or for OVZ: curl http://xx.xx.xx.xx/setup-vz.sh|bash I know, not too helpful.
