Its a good reminder that you can! My issue with these projects is how much energy they use for whatever task they can do. I have a 10 year old machine that was a high end machine in its day, being lapped by a high end laptop on all tasks, except for gpu tasks I slammed into the PCIe slot. The power consumption is honestly sad. Its not like its an energy cost thing, as it would take decades to break even in lower electricity bills after buying a high end machine specifically for lower energy use, its more of a self conscious thing. OPs machine should just be a compute instance virtualized in some gigantic memory cluster somewhere that was already running.
