Moving important #selfhosted services from the “big server” to a mini PC reduced overall #homelab electricity consumption without affecting its performance. I can now safely turn off the “big server” during long power outages at night or when I’m out and not able to start a generator. Also, it is done automatically with #HomeAssistant and #Proxmox API, as I wrote before.
By the way, half of my #homelab power consumption is from that “big server.” So I have room for optimization by replacing the CPU with something less powerful. Or by powering it on only when we want to watch something on #Plex. But I have remote users, and the situation is manageable for now to leave things as is.
