“It’s pronounced Yawn”

This huge consumer electronics chain here does it. It’s their default to ask “which phone number should I put it on?”, but before they get to the excuse of where to send the electronic receipt, I just tell them “no, you don’t need it”.

Around 700W on low load, almost idle. Haven’t had the chance to test it at full load yet.

It sits in my basement, so the waste heat is actually useful this time of year. Even more so when my basement would actually be freezing.

I plan on implementing scheduling where the two most power hungry servers are powered down and up as needed. The other two take almost nothing.

Also, the UPS supports a green mode that is a lot more efficient but with a downside of output side dropping out a few ms. This removes any conversion loss. I haven’t tested whether my hardware can tolerate it yet, so for now I’m living with the conversion loss.

My house is powered by cheap hydroelectric supply, generated in a mountain roughly 5km from my house, so I’m not worried.

A separate family of operating systems. It’s a direct decendant of the old UNIX. FreeBSD, OpenBSD and NetBSD are the most common ones.

It shares a lot of the same userspace tools as Linux, so if you’re used to the command line, a lot will seem familiar at a first glance. However, the underlying mechanisms can feel a bit strange at first once you try it out.

I used FreeBSD as my daily driver back in the day, but now I’m also on Mint, mostly because I used linux more.

I’ve been meaning to check out BSD these days to see how far it’s come since I last used it 20ish years ago, I just haven’t gotten around to it.

As a former FreeBSD user I feel this often.

I’m not opposed to blowing up data centers in general, just saying…

Sounds like something shoutcast can do.

Remember the time before apple acted as if they invented audio streaming and built a walled garden of podcasts? We had shoutcasts long before podcasts.
