I have a robust monitoring system for my Jellyfin server, been running for the last few years. Checks in periodically, at least once per 24 hours and notifies me if it's down. Doesn't use any electricity, but does consume a good amount of Cheerios and mac & cheese.

Does this monitoring system also happen to be a dependent on your taxes?

I've got a few of those services running.

Indirectly. But as another commenter pointed out, it balances out with the tax rebates.
