Yeah! Back during lockdown was running an instance Boinc, folding protein using an allegedly obsolete HP SOHO server. The power consumption was around 300 watts and it kicked out heat like there was no tomorrow. Bearing in mind it was a hot summer, made worse by my attic office/oven I suffered greatly for the cause. In the cold winter months though it was bliss...

Why not just turn it off in the summer? That seems like needless suffering.

It was doing "protein folding at home" for Covid that summer and the work modules would take 7-8 hours so it wasn't an option. Next summer it stayed off!
