SETI@home Is in Hibernation

I have a datacenter at home (that is, the top shelf of a cupboard) with my fiber connection, router, a 10 years old tower with a mix of HDD and SDD, a small computer that acts as the router/DHCP/... and a few other equipment - behind a UPS.

I measured the consumption at some point and it is a steady 60W.

I expected more, this setup has a marginal consumption compared to other appliances - and it gives me happiness.

Without doing advanced research, I would guess that a lot of consumption i fixed and hardly compressible (fridge, dishwasher, water boiler, induction plate, typical lights) - at least I hope so.

That's a Homeserver, not a Datacenter.

The definition of a Datacenter includes that it's complex, which your given example just isn't

Sorry, I was trying to be funny with the datacenter, using that word together with cupboard upper shelf and my equipment :)

This may have been funny for people who know me and my 30n years of work with real datacenters.

This is also an example of how badly written words on internet convey emotions (especially humour)

I just dislike purposefully misused technical terms, including in jest, as that's how we've gotten to this point where every second disagreement boils down to people not agreeing to the same definition.
