Sitting at an idle Gnome desktop, this thing sucks up 153W of
power. I was almost scared to push it. But I did anyway.
Pulling Linus' latest git tree into my local tree sucked up 216W
of power at its peak.
Just when I thought I'd seen it all, a -j4 kernel
compile of that same tree pulled 258W.
I no longer leave this box on 24/7.

Dave used the Kill-a-Watt
to measure the power consumption of his equipment. I think it's something
we could use at Casa New Jersey, since our power bills are a bit high (then
again, we do use Lake
Worth Utilities, which charges more than FPL).
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
