How much is a kWh in your parts? Noise, ambient temperature? You can buy very decent refurbished Lenovo tiny PCs with some 16 GB RAM and 6 cores and half a TB SSD which will run Proxmox and are low power and noise. You can go multi-node Proxmox later if you want to expand. k8s and related are also an option.

DIY few kWp solar payback is about 2 years.
In Germany consumer power is something like 0.4 EUR/kWh, so economics of running power-hungry hardware might be different. Solar PV might change the equation once again.
Thanks, that direct link works. Probably image replication issues to the other instances.
Images don't load for me.
It sound impressive, until you read it's Las Vegas. In places like Germany you have several weeks per year with neither enough sun nor wind. With backup power like gas turbines which run few weeks per year you have to subsidize the operators. And if you want run them on green hydrogen, massively overbuild the renewable capacity so that you can fill up gas storage during summertime.
Gmail is way more reliable than anything I could self-host. It's a huge pile of unsorted junk that is only usable with search.
The alarmists are right. There is nothing we can do: we're past peak extraction, and the peak is asymmetrical, so decline is fast. So a double shit sandwich: we cook and we starve, without any petro benefits. As a dingleberry on top you can add on wars.
To get that feeling back, have a go at https://richardcrim.substack.com/ That will add more nuance, and then some.
We are at over +1.5 if you ignore sliding decade average and multiple factors make +3 by 2050 reasonably likely. We got there because we erred on the side of climate sensitivity due to people like you, who told us disregard the "alarmists" and tnat we have plenty of time to act. Well, it looks like the "alarmists" were right.
