your electricity bill must be huge
It's always good to see you posting—definitely enjoying your content! I'm also running mini datacenters, starting from home, and now expanded to two other locations. Mostly running Dell hardware (14th and 15th gen AMD with Tesla P40s) and 100G (Mellanox) networking for Ceph, NVMe over Fabric, etc. Keep up the awesome work!
