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.

Around 5kWh/day.

My Biggest Power drain is my homeserver/hypervisor/nas/whatever (5600G, 64gb ram, 9xHDD) which uses around 3.5kWh.
Wifi is provided by 2x Extreme Networks WS-AP3825i and 2x Ubiquiti UniFi 6 Plus which total to around 660W/h.
My Router is a small dual-nic shuttle pc with a Pentium G4560 drawing like 310W/h
Switching is done by an Aruba 2930F-24G-4SFP+ Switch that consumes 490W/h

I could probably squeeze out a few more watts if I replace the HDD's with higher density ones and virtualise my router but I really dont feel like doing that right now..
