This is corny, but thanks for being awesome! It feels so nice to see this community grow out of a shared vision of what the internet should be.

Standing up my little instance has been a blast! I’m not quite done with it, but your combined enthusiasm gives me hope for the future of the internet. 😊

    Maybe solar can help offsets the power cost? With enough sun and big enough panels, even without batteries you might run your servers for free if your electric company gives you credit for unused solar power during the day.

      I’m actually making about 6 kWh/day from photovoltaics since mid-April averaged, which is about half my last year’s total electric energy consumed. I might be able to boost that to 8 kWh/day later this year. This is all while running very little infrastructure, for cost reasons.
