This is why im doing my homelab on low powered processors (5825u NAS boards). Runs way cooler and is way more efficient. Same performance as my 9900kf gaming PC cpu wise.

Edit: this hasn’t happened yet

How does running a server, assuming it’s used some amount of internet bandwidth, handle residential internet speeds? If I’ve got a gig up and down, can I reasonably run like a jellyfin for my friends?

My solar covers more than my entire electric bills in the mild weather months.

I was thinking of moving to more modern systems with modest power consumption too. One of the systems I picked up is basically a case-as-a-heatsink with no fans.

I think I’m at a family of four or five, but I’m alone with my dogs and my weed and my servers. Being able to legally self-host your own drug supply is great.

And it’s just wifey , the servers and me.

So you, wife and your 6 digital kids, checks out.

I realised I don’t need my servers being online 24/7, so for me that’s Raspberry Pi and equivalents, plus powering on computers on demand.
