I actually do... Yes... I have dual internet connections, dedicated power off both phases of my electricity with ~5 hours of battery backup, run redundant internal infrastructure (power, network, and server hardware)... I also have a massive backup library and am currently working on obtaining offsite backups solution. The whole site/house is also monitored with cameras.

I have better uptime than some datacenters in my area have which I can truthfully quantify that as I also hold a CIO/CISO position in another company that operates out of a major Datacenter in my area.

Edit: Should clarify, an offsite backup solution that ISN'T "just peer with backblaze or some other provider" to store your backups. I intend to do a rotating tape library. With one set of tapes always being off site.

Also to mention... I have better uptime than AWS-east at this point of the year... Although there will be some outages of my infrastructure here soon for a network hardware update. I suspect something in the order of about 1 minute of downtime total.

obtaining offsite backups solution

I read this as

Put servers in my mum's garage

That would be why I added my edit :)

Mom's spare bedroom closet 70 miles away, but yeah.

Gigachad is hitting five nines in their garage.

Sadly, Just lost it :( I knew the switch upgrades would do it... Eh. One more set of switch upgrades (40gbps trunk) here soon and they'll be fully redundant too.
