      Next step: a home battery for night usage… (or can you compensate night usage with solar too? In that case: lucky you! (Where I live this is now impossible, so i bought a battery))

    mine is ~50W and less than $3 USD a month!

    Cries in German 0.44 USD per kWh …

    Paying 27,23 USD for my 85W NAS (which I need to bring down badly …) per month. Waiting for a new bill on solar power on your balcony early 2024. Lookin into buying 800W panels and a battery. Should help bring down the operational cost tremendeously.

    oddly 48 port 1gb switch was eating more power then thread ripper builds(2 of them)

    i went to a fanless netgear 24 port switch for 25 bucks.

    was 30 extra on top of Normal bill.

    this will cut bill down by 20 alone.

      Old PoE switch? I have some 3750s that don’t see regular action because they’re loud, hot, and powerhungry
