$sudo sgdisk --zap-all /dev/SD{x}

$sudo wipefs -a /dev/SD{x}

The first wipes any existing partitions or data that exist.

The second wipes any data in the table headers if anything is left?

Those have worked for most times I needed it

I think eventually they will. They wish to put up their walled garden.

As for Their current RSS feed, it only grabs the post, right? Not the comments as well. That limits its usefulness a bit, depending on what you use reddit for.

APC makes good hardware, just their software route is going down the dark road. If you do not need the software aspects/use it as a standalone device, then APC still makes good quality UPSes.

That being said, the value:dollar ratio I still think cyberpower wins, especially for home use. My current design is Cyberpower (homeuse) || Eaton (Server/critical infra use)

Completely agree. It is sad, but with the current marketplace of “SaaS all the things” it is not really surprising.

I want my UPS to be in my OOB network - It should not even be accessable by users in the network. Its completely isolated off.

So, Eaton, Liebert/Vertiv are your premium UPSes, and while they offer all sorts of quality and features, they are pricy.

APC was in this group, until they started going with their subscription model. Now you have to be wary.

Cyberpower is perfectly fine for home use - Costco sells one that has been pretty reliable for me (I have purchased 3 of them now). I do not use for my main server, but for all my desktops and HTPC that is what I use.

I use a Eaton P5X for my main, but my wattage is a bit higher than yours.

How do you like Actual? I set up Fireflyiii as well, but once I read that there is no way to share a ledger, so to speak, it turned me off a bit.

My wife has bookkeeping experience, so something that is a bit closer to double entry bookkeeping would be awesome, since it should fit easily into her quickbooks experience.

Currently looking at akaunting, which seems like it may work, if it is truly self hosted
