a 10w mini-pc running 24/7 burns ~88 kwh a year. here in hyderabad that's ~₹485/yr. us average, ~$15.5/yr.
i live on this box: nextcloud, self-hosted bitwarden, a bitcoin full node, a nostr relay — one modest machine, and the power cost disappears into the noise of the monthly bill. less to power for a year than two months of the cheapest serious cloud vps.
