Nice post. Recognisable too. I have an old server from work at home, but came to the same conclusion: with that power consumption it’s no fun running it 24/7 at home.
Thnx! This looks like the way to go.
Bit broad question but Sounds like a nas can be a way to go. Read up on raid and think about your backup strategy first.
(I use a synology nas with 4Tb disk at home that backups to an offsite readynas with 4x 4tb disks in raid config and encryption)
Thought of roughly the same, but triggered on the price of electricity (I have the nordpool integration). It’s only my machine doesn’t understand I want it to start or continue after a power surge :(
Power consumption is the 2nd thing i look for in my IT devices (first is “do I need internet/cloud services to run it” … Yes is an absolut disqualifier)
