Got word from my landlord that the #PowerUsage is a bit high, so I just bought a #WattMeter to place here in my office to see what the usage of the #server and such is, and if it's high then I'm going to look into making a new #homelab with lower wattage computers.
Coming from #Iceland where the electricity is so cheap it messes a bit with a person's mind and behaviour.
My server seems to take about 300W when booting up and settles at about 150W when all virtual machines are booted up.
I then added my work desktop and the watt meter says the current load is 200W ca. If I use stress to engage all 20 threads on the server that spikes up to 300ẃ.
Am I the odd one out who doesn't think that it is too much?
