Well, in my case I do have a power station. It is called the Sun. Like an increasing number of people, I have some PV Panels on my roof (2.4KWh). I also have a Battery system 34KWh. This is primarily used to charge my car (Nissan Leaf) but has plenty of electrons to spare. Even today with the heavy overcast skies the battery is being charged.
Like many, I have my own LAN (three different VLANS) and my QNAP NAS is backed up another system (SYNOLOGY) that is located 60ft away in my Garage, using 2x 1GB Ethernet Links burried 5ft down and separate from the power feed.
so yes, doing it myself is safer.
Many El Reg readers (including you perhaps) could too if they wanted to.
