    Is there a (Linux) command I can run to check my power consumption?

        Or smart sockets. I got multiple of them (ZigBee ones), they are precise enough for most uses.

      If you have a server with out-of-band/lights-out management such as iDRAC (Dell), iLO (HPe), IPMI (generic, Supermicro, and others) or equivalent, those can measure the server’s power draw at both PSUs and total.
