I have multiple UPS covering critical systems (server + network) plus my Tesla battery connected to solar ... switching off main power, everything keeps running (even over the 100ms switch of the distribution board) ... happy bunny. Three power cuts in last year (I live in UK).
X : Server?
Me : My desktop. Beefed up system, liquid cooled, decent graphic card, multiple networks (I triplicate traffic over three lines to a server in London to cope with poor networks) ... it gives me a solid base to connect to all my cloudy services (where work is done).

The weakness in the cloudy world is not cloud services - we can architect highly resilient systems (because of low MttR) across multiple zones - instead the problem has always been my connection to it (i.e. the home) both in networks and the odd power cut here and then.
X : What happens if your server goes?
Me : Then I'm back to using a laptop and moaning about how poor FttP or 4G is in the UK.
X : How bad are things?
Me : In an hour long zoom call, I can expect a dozen or so network losses / freezes if I was using a single line ...

... in terms of power, in the middle of a conference a few weeks ago the power to my village went. The 100ms switch over to the battery hit my server and routers, so I was down for a minute. Now, that should be a thing of the past.
It's not perfect but it is a lot better than it was.
