There might also be a followup examination with a thermal camera of the property, which with a server farm, would also show significantly elevated temperatures.

This is why most of us in the USA live in constant fear that our hobbies of basement aluminum smelting operations will land us on the wrong side of the law enforcement.

While everyone else lives in fear that their basement aluminium smelting hobby will land them in the morgue due to the fumes.

Imagine if growing a plant in your home was legal and the police had to figure out something else to do with their time

I sometimes wonder if really serious reptile hobbyists, the kind that'll have like a whole room full of terrariums, have to deal with suspicious cops. Reptiles like warmth, heat mats and lamps take power, one of the most popular brands for heat mat thermostats is technically meant for controlling indoor plant heating, and if they want to grow live plants in any of their animals habitats they might need grow lights too.

As a former reptile enthusiast yes this was a valid concern. Making nice with the neighbors helped alot. Also red night lights made it look like we were running a brothel.

If there’s anything I’ve learned from my weed growing hobby, it’s that nobody cares unless you’re doing it on a near industrial scale, like converting an entire floor or house to a grow.

A hot tub requires way more power than your average hobbyist grow op these days. I can’t imagine a reptile setup is requiring 10+ kWh/day (what a fucked unit that is btw)

Plus, car charging is changing the game vs 10+ years ago. Everyone's got huge power draws happening all the time now while their 1 or 2 evs are charging each night/day.
