Oh my I wish those $0.10 kWh... in here we have 3 prices through the day (depends on what time it is), and the cheapest one is already higher than that :)

Anyway I did the math and it would be $7/month. More than double your estimation, but still not horrendous. Although for that range of prices one might be able to find a managed instance machine in some cloud provider...

(edit: somewhere in the process I lost track of the fact this was a price _difference_ calculation, so it's adding $7 to whatever was already the cost with a more power efficient machine, which ofc. depends on number and type of HDs and other equipment)

The real difference is in latency: I tend to use the same operator on the fixed and mobile line, with Wireguard. SSH, SMB and Matrix respond almost as if you were in LAN.

If I add the cost for bandwidth and storage of a data center, then the economic choice is obvious.

Would it be efficient to store power when price is low?
