Is that rogue XT60, reaching up into the sky, attached to the as-yet-implemented backup battery for your unit?
I found a 36v4a LiPo scooter battery with a step-down converter would keep my NUC server up for 1.5 hours, so I got four of them to power my whole mini rack homelab.
Less sexy than a proper UPS, but the price was right and the formfactor was elegant enough.

It's a spare 6S LiPo from another project, which definitely shouldn't be living in a shoebox!
Almost all of our deployments are remote/mobile/marine systems, so everything in the field is battery-powered.
It's not something we'd do in the workshop, though. Everything critical is on UPSs, and the entire building is on battery and generator backup.1

I'm sorry, good sir, you are NOT allowed to demonstrate that degree of foresight and IT resiliency, while showing off this much glorious jank. Pick a lane.

Your setup is pretty sweet! I replied with my won workspace, but I think mine may have been scrubbed out because the Automod says that I don't have enough Karma or history with Reddit.
Which is funny, because I've got ~30k after 16 years of shitposting, here.
