I wonder if my system is good or bad. My server needs 0.1kWh.

I think at max 200w? It runs a collection of fedi/self service stuff.

I also run a pi with a couple of apps on a pi 3 that sips power.

It's a legitimate issue because it's 50+ cents per killowat hour where I live so power is very expensive...

    That seems really high, I think power where I live is about 12-14 cents per kilowatt hour. What makes it so expenses where you live?

    Mostly just that they can. It's more expensive per tier actually.

    Take a look, this is the old pricing. They just voted to up it again.

    There's legislation that is moving along to charge people with solar because...idk.

    They’re charging for solar because PGE is a greedy fuck.

    Yes. There was talk locally for local government to take control of the power but it's just talk..

    It gets over 110 where I live in the summer...so air conditioning can make it very expensive.

    Wait this is in the US? How, this is even more expensive than Hawaii, and they have obvious reasons for power to be more expensive there
