 Hm, should I keep my VPS systems or should I host at home again? Power consumption is probably more expensive than the sum of three VPS boxes… 
 @1273d431 In the past year, with the electrical rate increases, I decommissioned the Dell servers at home and transitioned to external solutions - keeping at home only backups, primary data, and the things that are convenient to have on the LAN (Home Assistant, etc.) using low power devices. Today, for many clients, I'm calculating that it's more cost-effective to host externally (on physical servers in data centers) than to keep the server 'within the walls'.
