I came here to tell my tiny Raspberry pi 4 consumes ~10 watt, But then after noticing the home server setup of some people and the associated power consumption, I feel like a child in a crowd of adults 😀
I'm using an old laptop with the lid closed. Uses 10w.
All in, including my router, switches, modem, laptop, and NAS, I'm using 50watts +/- 5.
It does everything I need, and I feel like that's pretty efficient.
Quite the opposite. Look at what they need to get a fraction of what you do.
Or use the old quote, "they're compensating for small pp"
I have an old desktop downclocked that pulls ~100W that I'm using as a file server, but I'm working on moving most of my services over to an Intel NUC that pulls ~15W. Nothing wrong with being power efficient.
we're in the same boat, but it does the job and stays under 45°C even under load, so I'm not complaining
