had the same. now I’m running more with less.

got rid of my commercial grade servers and implemented consumer grade hardware that requires less power.

I was running four whole dell R series for a total of around 5kw of power (four devices x 1kw psu + redundant).

now I’m running two consumer grade servers with newer for efficient tech and smaller non-redundant psus. it should be sitting right around 1.2kw.

the newer hardware can easily run what used to take a dedicated R series.

next is to consolidate all my network infra.
