Curious how you calculated that? What system load is it based on? Idle? Max?
Very much an estimate because OP didn’t mention what generation DL360 they had, how many CPUs, drives, etc. So I assumed 120W continuous 24/7/365 consumption which is pretty low. Assuming 22 cents per KWh for midwest, 33 cents/KWh for Boston and 44 cents/KWh for California.
OP is likely drawing much more than my estimate.
Just a guess, the mailing address probably specifies which state’s rules its under. Police enforcement might be interesting though.
My point is, you can possibly spend the same money and get better hardware that isn’t so power hungry and have a better experience with your hobby.
“Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) began recruiting “high-IQ small-government revolutionaries” willing to work 80+ hours per week with no pay to help slash federal spending.
Future headline : “Department of Government Efficiency still completely without staff as those meeting the high requirements to take the job are smart enough to have zero interest in doing the job under those conditions"
Alternate future headline: “Department of Government Efficiency plagued by yet another scandal as its 45th employee is charged with fraud for attempting to personally gain financially from fraud they were perpetrating in the government”.
I was thinking something like this where you can be TOTALLY INSIDE ONE SMALL BUILDING and be in two different cities/states.
The left side of gas station (QuickTrip) is Kansas City, Kansas. The right side of the gas station is Kansas City, Missouri. So cross state lines going from the chip aisle to the soda refrigerators.
I have 4 DL360s with 96GB RAM each to run a K8s cluster with a handful of containers
If someone is paying you to host those and covering your costs, go wild! However, as a hobby you may be spending $925/year or more for electricity to run those in the Midwest. $1,387 if you’re living in Boston, $1,850 if you’re living in California.
In one year you may have been able to buy more new power efficient hardware from just what you’re spending on juice.
I have been an IT professional since 1995. Never have I ever had a personal PC that wasn’t either a refurbished laptop or some sort of Frankenstein abomination that I pit together from whatever was on sale and upcycled parts.
I’ve been in the game for about the same amount of time. I stopped doing that about 15 years ago when I saw that the electricity I was paying on older gear was equaling or exceeding the cost of buying newer, faster, and lower power consumption hardware.
They could have lived in a city that straddles a state boundary. Crossing to a different city/state could be done measured a matter of meters/yards.
Trump is also planning to increase exports
Every country wants to have more exports. Its not up to a leader of the country directly. You can’t force exports to occur. You have to convince someone from another country to buy something from your country. The exception to this is if you have things other countries want to buy, but you don’t want them to have them (like spaceflight, military goods, or high technology).
A nation’s leader can build mechanisms with other countries that can help convince them to buy such as free trade agreements, etc. However, thats the exact opposite of what trump is doing. Trump wants to put tariffs on imports, thats the opposite of free trade and makes other countries not want to buy from you.
Trump’s longstanding advisers, who view Musk as overly assertive and self-promoting.
Sounds like “trumps longstanding advisors” are worried they did all this work to get trump in power to use him are seeing musk come in and begin to use trump instead of them.
