Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

You've saved a whoopping 0.3kWh/day (assuming transcoding 24/7), that's surprisingly little I would say.
Power costs vary a lot around the world, depending on where OP lives every little saving can help.
Constantly turning it on/off will probably kill the disk faster than the power savings can make up for it, compared to just having it idle when not actively used.
Consumer harddisks are made to be spinned up and down occasionally. Don't do it every five minutes... But I've been doing it for years and years with my server that spins up the disks once or twice a day, once I access some of my archived files. And it's perfectly fine.
The hdd spin on once every night for backup, then off after a bit by the timeout.
That should not be a critical issue.
Yeah, most PCs get turned on and off like once per day. For example at most offices or at home. That's perfectly within normal use.
