In case you’re wondering, the AC unit in our bedroom costs $0.16/hour. The living room costs $0.50/hour.

My wife is trying to make me stop. She says it’s annoying.

    This is very interesting I’ve been thinking about this a lot. Since I can’t read the graph really well on my phone can you tell me how much on average does it cost per month?

    Also is there a point at which its going to be cheaper to use a cloud? Or will it always be cheaper to host yourself?

      It averages $25 per month - which is hosting 16tb of storage (running 1tb nVME parity and 3x 8tb HDD) to host 5x Virtual Machines and 33x Docker Containers (which includes MariaDB, Postgres, InfluxDB, and Redis containers that receive a good amount of traffic), and a lot of the storage used for media/photo storage/consumption.

      With cloud storage, I was hitting $70/month and that was without having all the backups of photos/media that I now have running on the home server.
