  1. power usage is much less intuitive than you'd think.

    a 1000w (2kw usage) microwave running for two 30 second runs to heat up food twice a day, could be fed with a single tiny 3-cell 33Wh powerbank (3x 3000mAh * 4v 18650 = 36Wh)

    whereas the basic ~100w always active ventilation of the average (european) house/toilets will accumulate 2-3000Wh a day, about 5-7 big ebike batteries worth with each 36 cells (36* 3000mAh * 4v = 432Wh)

  3. Adding ("passing thru") the #Bluetooth radio to my #HomeAssistant VM in #Proxmox caused #powerUsage to increase by 1.0 Watts... 😱

    Most likely will disable it again, as I have no use for it anyway...

  5. 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.

  7. Sharing a tip that i find useful.

    I've DM'ed myself a list of #hashtags that i frequently search for. I've then bookmarked the DM for easy access. Planning to update as i go along.

    Anybody else with #protip advice for #mastodon #PowerUsage?
