If my lab goes down, it sucks, but that’s it. I have no critical service running there.
I have some recoverability, but it requires for the main router to run. If it isn’t running it’s either a HW failure, which I will not fix remotely anyway or power is down. In which case, not much I can do about it neither.
I have router with OpenWRT with Wireguard and main server (NUC) on a smart plug. If the router runs and server is mishaving to the point where I cannot reboot it, I can power cycle it via the smart plug connected to the router.
You mentioned your brother lives 30mins away - well put some tiny server in his house. Having everything at your home is not build for redundancy at all. That’s just the risk management, if you absolutely need access to your server, then 1 site is not going to cut it.
