Is it expensive? Considering doing it myself
I had a spare computer that I installed Linux on a while back, but wasn't using it for much at the time. If set up like that, all you would pay for is the electricity, which is very low if you're only running Lemmy, probably only a couple of US dollars a month. You could probably run it on a raspberry pi, tbh.
Personally, I have solar panels that power my whole house. So it's free for me.
The dream. I want to do this too when I buy my house, but living in northern Scandinavia makes it hard to run off solar during the winter.
I live relatively close to the equator (Texas), so it's actually better for me in the winter because I don't need to run the AC.
Texas?! Only steers and queers come from Texas, Private Cowboy, and you don't look much like a steer to me, so that kinda narrows it down!
Because the panels absorb/reflect the light? Or how does that work?
Not sure what you mean, but I just meant that because I use about a quarter of the electricity in the winter while still generating about 90% as much electricity, I end up selling a ton of electricity back to the grid, building up credits that I can use for cloudy days in the spring.
Ah okay, I get you. That's an excellent system.
because it's not as hot in the winter
Thanks, I appreciate the insight 😊 you’re setup sounds very well thought out and I respect it 🍻
