How did you come up with that number? I looked at the link and just one of the outages listed on January 10 was 59 minutes. That alone makes the uptime worse than 99.99% for the entire year before it was halfway through January.

(99.995% means at most 26.3 minutes of downtime per year. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_availability#Percentage_c...)

it's the 30 day uptime statistic displayed on the website I linked.

if you click the history it says 98.452% over 365 days.

That’s a pretty low level. That’s lower than my pi hole. But I wouldn’t consider my pihole to be anything other than best endeavours (99.1%). Two would be fine, but there are common points of failure which would limit the solution
