This is after having tons of solar panels too LMAO
more like “thanks bro, keep sending those $$ my way”
How many computers do you have?
I think they forgot to mention the huge tomato farm they have in their basement. Tons of lights and special ventilation setup. Tastes much better than what you can get at the grocery store of course.
I call it the Tomacco. Not responsible if you feed it to animals
Like 3 or 4 1u/2u servers equipped with a couple GPUs, plus a tape library lol
It’s not obvious before you do the math but a 500 watt homelab is basically a large air conditioner. The AC is just on ⅓ of the time ½ of the year.
Lol I’ve got like 2-3 ACs then 😂
I have to split power between 3 different circuits that are near my office in order to keep each one within the 80% rule in the event I’m putting heavy load on them
…I really need to get an electrician out to put in a 240 line 😅…
This is how you get cops busting through your door looking for a pot farm
Thankfully I’m in a legal state lol
I’m conducting experiments on temperal mechanics. I need at least 1.21 Gigawatts.
PLEASE get us out of the Biff timeline
While bleak and terrible, I still think Biff’s future would be less shitty than Trump’s. I mean, Biff wasn’t getting dangerously close to starting WW3 or sending gestapo out to round up and deport non-whites. They do share being rapists in common, tho.
Tbf, we only saw Biff after he already consolidated his global power, so we really don’t know if he did kick off WWIII to accomplish that lol
Did you try to size your solar panels to your usage or are you doing small scale solar?
I’ve been thinking about solar, but the prices are pretty harsh, especially without the federal credits.
I don’t think I can get the amount of panels needed, as-is my system can produce about 700-800 watts in a good sunny month (which the month they used wasn’t really, it was Feb and it produced about 600-650)
But my electric company has some dumbass arbitrary limit on the amount panels the professional installers have to follow and I’m pretty sure I’m close to it
I’ve been meaning to check out this “unofficial” DIY plugin solar stuff, but haven’t gotten to it yet lol
Why does the electricity company know your flat size and your heating source?
In most places in the US, basic home specs are public record and/or just floating around since the last time it was publicly listed for sale
I bet you can look at the building permit and learn this stuff
That too, but some jurisdictions put some guardrails for pulling full prior permits, when I wanted to pull all the historical permits for my house for my own records, I had to bring in some proof that I was either the owner, tenant or other interested party (like say a contractor who want to see the previous permits before doing their own work)
Lol…I hate my power bill.
Hmm I think you’re crossing into home datacenter territory.
I’ve got some rookie numbers to pump up LMAO
You’d think I’d have a few racks of equipment running… most of that is heating and cooling. Old drafty farm house with old inefficient heat pumps. Winter was damn cold this year.
This thread makes me question my 2,000kWh power bill, I don’t have any servers and always shut down my main PC over night. I do use a laptop as a media center that I don’t shut down, but I figured it can’t be using that much power.
Maybe the main factor is me being in home office and using my PC about 12-14h a day? 😅
Edit: Oh, I guess many people are talking monthly usage here. My number is over the last year, so I guess I’m not doing too bad
I’m in a 1 bedroom with my fiancé, a home server, and our gaming rigs running for long portions of the day.
We use about 243kWh a
daymonth.You draw an average of constantly ~10kW? That is a crazy amount of power, how many gaming rigs/servers do you have to get that high
243kWh per day is insane, even with three high powered rigs running. Are you sure your fiancé isn’t hiding a data center somewhere?!
