Power consumption: 1.7 MW

I hope it stays decommissioned. We're burning up the planet too fast already, and old computers tend to be far less efficient than modern ones.

Pop up a solar farm and you are good to go, baby!

Yeah just need 10Mw+ of solar and like 40mwh of batteries to power it 24/7

So just the 10 million dollar solar farm? easy peasy

[–] Cort@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago
