I don't think those really idle at much less power, so I'd take the performance of the normal variants

Generally 1080p and around 2-4GB per hour is my go-to. Less bitrate starts to show very obvious problems with darker areas so I avoid it.
Intel i3 or i5 4th gen or newer will be solid.
Dell, HP, Lenovo all make a ton of generic office PCs that are good for a home server, and you can find older models for under $40 in the US so hopefully they're also cheap in Brazil.
I like it quite a bit.
ReCaptcha is usually like 2-3 9x9 grids of images to solve, sometimes with ones that vanish and get replaced as you pick them. It often takes me at least 15-30 seconds to get through it.
I think it's also not remembering that I passed one, because if I reload the page it asks me to do another one.
The UPS has no influence in that case on the power reading.
Are you trying to install the Flatpak? The native install probably won't work on an immutable distro.
The only full sync option is trying to self-host the sync server for Firefox or Brave. But both seem to be a pita.
There are easy options like floccus but that only syncs bookmarks.
- Some sites won't work at all due to the anti-fingerprinting stuff that's enabled on it.
- Everything will be forced to light mode too because of it. Sometimes websites will render at the wrong size.
- DRM content won't play.
I'm using Zen currently, because it at least strips out the telemetry that Firefox has while still being a normal browser.
Sounds unrelated to the UPS if you're measuring that load on the output. I wouldn't worry about it, computer/server loads fluctuate constantly and that's normal.
That's the absolute maximum output, a typical laptop uses more like 2-6W while running.
Plus cycling the battery like that will wear it out faster, and they're generally only rated for 500 or so cycles. The replacement cost would likely easily over come any savings.
Latest thing is my server was hard locking up randomly every couple days. Finally thought to check IPMI and it was triggering a correctable ECC error on a specific stick of RAM.
I figured maybe the first couple errors were correctable by the ECC RAM but then they just got worse and caused the lock up.
Pulled the 2 sticks in that pair and so far so good. I'll survive just fine with the remaining 192GB of RAM lol.
Also switched from my old Dell box with Opnsense to a Linksys MX4300 running OpenWRT, saves me about 20W and its fun to try something different.
