My Plex/*arr Intel NUC server uses like 50-75W under heavy load and maybe 5W at idle, and I can't imagine it's not powerful enough to run a small Lemmy instance, so even this figure seems a little high to me.
Same, but even lower (Beelink N95). My whole stack of two NAS units, mini PC, switch, router, and modem average a load of 50 watts.
Uhh... maybe putting a 9700k in my server wasnt as good of an idea as i thought it to be... it eats 74watts in idle... uhhh...
Yeahhhh...
Obviously it can all depend on your requirements, but this N95 system has been pretty eye opening on how much people are over-speccing their builds for home server use. It has 8Gb of memory in it, but I seldom see it use more than 2. The box is doing DNS, Jellyfin, torrenting, VPN, private git, etc.
I should.. probably get one of these n100 mobo that you can find on aliexpress...
