Me running everything on a single postgress instance on my shitbox 0€/month
0? My energy company says I'm using power equivalent to a family of eight. And it's just wifey , the servers and me. I had cops here asking if I grow weed 😁
So unless you steal power, it surely isn't close to 0 😁
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.
