Lemmings, what's your self hosted server power usage?
Lemmings, what's your self hosted server power usage?
I'll just come out and say it: 50W. I know, I know an order of magnitude above what's actually needed to host websites, media center and image gallery.
But it is a computer I had on-hand and which would be turned on a quarter of the day anyway. And these 50W also warm my home, although this is less efficient than the heat pump, of course.
What's your usage? What do you host?

Idle power 53w, totally worth it ☺️ The extra graphic card is for Immich and Ollama / overall transcoding.
I currently have probably 10% of your performance at 2x the power draw. 😭

Get new hardware or you will pay it with your energy bill
Lol, I've been paying for years! (It's been about $1/day).
I'm working on it. Have a new NAS box I'm currently setting up - it's max output power is 180w, I should know later today what my idle power is like.
And then... I get to restructure all our data stores, backup processes, etc. Oh fun.
