What is your self hosted power draw? (lemmy.world)

Selfhosters what is the power draw of your entire setup? And have you done anything special to manage it you'd like to share?

Including all network equipment I use around 110kWh of good ol' 120V 60Hz USA juice per month. Averaging about 215 watts of power draw for my systems. Nothing amazing, but I like to think that it's a conservative setup for everything I accomplish with it. I'm paying around $25 a month for my setup. None of that includes my work PC or personal PC, just hosting infrastructure.

Other than trying to make sure all power states are available on my server I haven't done a lot of power conservation.

I'm curious what you all have.

Most of my stuff lives on a cheap hetzner vps so that power is someone else's problem lol. at home it's a raspberry pi that's always on (a few watts) and a bitaxe miner doing about 19W, that's around 14 kWh a month, like 3 euros here. the gaming pc is the only hungry thing and it stays off, the pi wakes it with wake-on-lan when I actually need it. took me a while to get the bios settings right (erp off, power on by pci-e) but it was worth it.

    money wise no, not even close. it's a bitaxe gamma doing around 1 TH/s solo, so it's basically a lottery ticket, the odds of hitting a block are tiny. it costs me like 3 euros a month in power so I treat it as a toy, I like checking the best difficulty it found and it's a nice way to learn how mining works
