How much is your internet per month, and what are your electricity costs per KWh?
- Macha 4y agoMy internet is €70/mo, and if I did not self host anything it would be... €65/mo. The speed I pay for because video games are massive these days so the only saving would be dropping a static IP. Electricity per kwh is quite expensive these days, at €0.43/kwh because of war. My hardware is quite inefficient too, being cast off gaming hardware that is way overkill for the use case. Still, it averages 200W under load so that's (0.43 * 24/5) or €2/day. So €65/mo, with some of the world's most expensive electricity. With 2021 energy rates the electricity cost would have been one third of 2022, at €25/mo. Use more reasonable hardware like a pi 8gb or a nuc or something rather than a used gaming PC and you could get even lower, though obviously you'd want to depreciate your hardware cost. Meanwhile comparable compute from AWS is $1/hr
