    My personal data center uses 26kWh per day. There are 18 HDDs spinning 24/7 across 3 servers. One of them is the public information server, still going strong and with fresh torrents added. That would cost me $1500 annually if I paid for electricity, except I'm 100% solar powered and all of this is free to run for me.

    I think that's more than most people's entire house uses, esp outside the US. #energy #power #electricity

      @Lydie Oof. That'd cost me about £2400.

          @Lydie Yeah. Shit be expensive here despite all the renewables coming online because the wholesale price is pinned to gas.

            @woe2you The Epstein Regime made renewables great again. I sure hope you can benefit from solar at some point!

                @Lydie yeah over the last 12 months I averaged 25kwh / day (of which about 37% solar/battery)

                That includes all heating (heat pump), all cooking, and an EV (cost of ~ £1300)

                hard to know how to put the solar costs in this as I don't know how long it will last (panels are about 12 years old, inverter and battery about 3 years)

                  @Lydie So do I. Even in these parts (~51N) we should be able to completely eliminate grid dependency.

                    @Lydie

                    Yep, that's higher than mine which pulls about 14kWh/day. You have more hdds, I have 100TB of storage but only (I think) 8 hdds. Yay for solar!

                    Also don't need a UPS because the whole solar setup is essentially a huge UPS.
