  I think they forgot to mention the huge tomato farm they have in their basement. Tons of lights and special ventilation setup. Tastes much better than what you can get at the grocery store of course.

    I call it the Tomacco. Not responsible if you feed it to animals

  Like 3 or 4 1u/2u servers equipped with a couple GPUs, plus a tape library lol

    It’s not obvious before you do the math but a 500 watt homelab is basically a large air conditioner. The AC is just on ⅓ of the time ½ of the year.

      Lol I’ve got like 2-3 ACs then 😂

      I have to split power between 3 different circuits that are near my office in order to keep each one within the 80% rule in the event I’m putting heavy load on them

      …I really need to get an electrician out to put in a 240 line 😅…

        I’ve been measuring my server rack’s power usage, and it usually sits at around 500W with a 1U + 2U server (and GPU). My plan for the 1U has been to colocate it, but it’s an extra $25/month for each 100W increment, so I’ve been trying things like lowering the CPU power limit to save some money. Apparently turning my 200W EPYC CPU down to 150W barely makes a difference in my workloads, but that 50W is enough to save me quite a bit.

  All of them.
