Surprisingly no

It idles at about 150w

Bit of a silly question:

I got quite the overkill server‡ for free‡‡ a little while ago and I’ve been struggling to find stuff to do with it

What kind of stuff do you self host?

Basically all I’ve got currently is TrueNAS Scale running on mine and it feels like a bit of a waste just running that.

‡ My server is from 2012 but it’s got dual hexacore Xeons (can’t recall exact model), 192GB of RAM, and about 40 TB of storage in Raid-Z2. The storage came from my old crusty NAS, I didn’t get that for free.

‡‡ Well mostly free, I was told I could have it if I got it out of they’re garage which took about 2 days.
