How much power does your home lab take? (lemmy.world)

Mine runs at 30watts at idle.

That powers 4 switches, 1AP, and my proxmox system (framework laptop motherboard) which runs my router and my services.

What is everyone else's usage and what does it power?

I feel for those in Europe, these are the current spot prices in NZ

I pay 0.7 EUR/kWh though it's capped at 0.4 EUR/kWh at the moment. Which is why I make net half of my power myself. At some 1 EUR/Wp it pays off really quickly.

I approve of the y-axis label. But everything else is kinda missing... Like the information what's depicted on the diagram. Cost of production? Price for a end-user? pre- or after tax? which country? and why did someone paint in 5 different colors? It certainly doesn't match what i'm paying.

From New Zealand and is averaged wholesale spot prices for the 5 (main) produces here

Ah okay. Makes sense. Didn't know that. And New Zealand has cheap electricity because of big hydroelectric plants and geothermal energy? Or is that a political decision like it is subsidized by the government by taking little taxes on energy?

Mostly hydro, It would probably be even cheaper if we didn't subsidise big aussie firms to smelter aluminium here
