Not sure if this is the right place to ask the question, but there doesn’t seem to be an “askgeeks” or something.

Make all of them run a bogosort on a list of 10-100 items. Whichever one finishes last gets shot. Repeat until you no longer have idle servers
make them enter powersaving states
do some folding?
Or some BOINCing.

I boinc in an LXC container with a cron job to run during the period in the day on weekdays when the electricity is pretty much all renewables (and I’m not watching Jellyfin). The intention is to turn sunlight into tiny forward progress towards curing cancer.
Specifically, the Community Grid projects Mapping Cancer Markers and Smash Childhood Cancer.
thats really great.
Im currently saving up on a new roof of an older farm building, and depending on the utilities I can come up I will put solar panels on it.
I am really thinking how to utilize the extra power, this one sounds like a great addition to an business concept for downtimes.
If your electricity costs you nothing
thats in general the culprit with own server.
but in my place electricity itself costs not much, half of the cost is only taxes and other expenses around the energy.
therefore 200 kwh more or less in a year(that would be 25 watts) is not that much.
I forget about them until my boss asks me why we are spending so much on cloud services.
Turn them off, or repurpose them into Minecraft servers for friends. I’m using more resources running a modded server I don’t play on than I am for actual productive work these days though.
