  1. Replace CMOS battery
  2. Get small UPS
  3. Discover that small UPS batteries fail regularly.
  4. Add maintenance routine for UPS battery.
  5. Begin to wonder if this is really worth it when the rest of the house has no power.
  6. Get small generator.
  7. Discover that small generators also need maintenance and exercise.
  8. Decide to get a whole house battery back a-la Tesla Powerwall topped off by solar and a dedicated generator.
  9. In the end times a roving band of thugs comes around and kills you and strips your house of valuable technology, leaving your homelab setup behind.l and without power.

Conclusion: just replace the CMOS battery on a yearly basis during planned system downtime.
