I've read in several news articles that you should leave you unix-pc
running 24 hours a day. This would be fine if my power company will
provide power 24 hours a day but each day they seem to be a few seconds
short. Every time there is a quick glitch, my 3b1 hangs and the screen
gets messed up. Do you people who run your machines continuously have
any kind of backup power supplies, line filters, spike or surge protectors,
phone line filters, etc.? I'm somewhat afraid to leave my machine running
all the time when all these transients exist on my power line.

Any comments or help would be appreciated.
