Interesting observation, since restarting the solar bot I'm getting spikes in load from my mastodon instance, I assume it's from that solar bot posting and then the fediverse requesting data as the post permeates through.
It lasts for about 2 hours and roughly an extra 4W so each post is 8Wh? That's not insignificant - am I misunderstanding this?

In theory I should see a similar spike when I send this post.
In the time of hard choices do math.
I was not sure about which hardware should I use for my media server. I thought that my 10-core custom-built NAS is too overpowered for it. And with Synology DS423+ I’ll save money on electricity bills. So I performed an experiment, made some calculations and can use facts now instead of guesses.
Power consumption varies by 30 watts. It’s 2 € of savings per month. 2 € per month for the opportunity to sell my Synology NAS and use the server I built myself. I’m in.
I need to re-download all my iso-images now )) Good opportunity to review and clean my collection a bit.

How to measure the power consumption of a process?
Asking for a friend.
So my #homelab power is 110-140 watts, depending on the usage. Not good not terrible. This is together with all network equipment.

@thurrott WTF?
Unless I get the TV for free and can bill them for the #PowerConsumption, I'll refuse to buy that shit as a matter pf principle.
Even if they offered a ad-financed TVI'd not buy it as a matter of principle!
Instead I'll stick with monitors!
Just overheard 2 tech experts explaining that generating an AI image takes as much power as we can find in an ordinary smart phone battery. 
How many Apple Intelligence emojis I would be able to generate with an iphone 15 pro then?

"ERCOT CEO Pablo Vegas said that the grid operator is projecting Texas will need to nearly double the current capacity of 85 gigawatts to 150 gigawatts by 2030. This huge uptick in projected demand, he said, is driven in large part by rapid expansion of new Bitcoin mining facilities and AI data centers that suck up tons of electricity. "

️ Yesterday @oluOnline posted a question about the alignment in aims and speculativity of #solarpunk and #permacomputing.
It sparked off a longer debate about #sustainability, #powerconsumption, #datacenters, #Apple, and #AI, in which @mattwilcox took the position, that humankind will always strive for improvement, we just need to find the least harmful way to do it, while @cferdinandi argued, that increasing power consumption will always be a setback, especially when it’s not improving anything (as in the case with AI).
I couldn’t really agree with myself who was more right. Because of course they are both right in each their respect, aren’t they? And that is kind of the central paradox.
Go read the original post and the thread right here, it’s really interesting and an important debate.
