Like I said that is just one link, there was a recent whitepaper about it, just lost my link.

The only benefit i can see of web app is it is in a controlled browser environment...could be helpful with security?

I installed it and it works. i have also installed other Fedora RPMs. RPM can contain repo links to dependecies needed. or just contain all the libraries needed. OpenSUSE will install it and just treat them as Orphaned Packages (in the later case)

Not the whitepaper research paper I was trying to reference but if you read just below the temp chart image is explains similar info about how quick SSD (unpowered) data loss is based on ambient heat. HDD while also succeptible to data loss is a better archive medium than SSD https://www.anandtech.com/show/9248/the-truth-about-ssd-data-retention

Depends on how much you spent on your PC, and how reliable your grid power is. Ours is decent, but we get windstorms that create variation in the transmission. 13 years ago I didn't bother with UPS but then we had a power failure, back on, failure , back on, all within a second or so. Killed my Dell Powersupply and graphics card blew one hdmi port. Since then I have had one. had to change the battery last year for $80. It has saved me from brownout when a crow vapourized itself on the transformer outside our place. And every few months the logs show voktage correction for overvolting AC. it is cheap insurance that your syatem is getting clean power. Last month my laptop charger power pack shorted internally, so UPS immediately shutdown power. Even if it wouldn't have overloaded the laptop, it possibly prevented a fire since the short was not enough draw to blow the panel breaker.

Sorry, initailly replied to wrong thread. Not meaning total loss of power, but power fluctuations, brownout, over volt, amps and volts out of phase. You won't normally don't notice because it is short, or not noticable in lights or monitor etc. But with active UPS monitoring you can watch spikes in your power grid. A UPS will see this and rectify power to within normal range. Or an occasional drop in voktage will kick in the UPS to bridge the power drop gap. Then there are major surges that a UPS will buffer by regulation or breaking power to your device.

That is why I Ilisted the unpowered/ unplugged. there are white papers on ssd data loss when it is disconnected from mobo and stored. The lack of trickle power allows decay in the mem cells simce they are just packed charges, and heat accelerates that loss. They said in as little as a week in a hot room it will have started bit rot. And in some cases a few months in a hot space (say 40 degrees in summer heat we have) and data is gone.

I'm on OpenSuse which will take a Fedora RPM, and most will take deb, if they don't you can uae the alien tool to convert it for your OS...extra steps which sucks

Technically SSDs will forget numbers too if left disconnected from power and in a hot room

They will, they will add a nano particle that is sensed by printer
