Of course not, we’re running servers and piholes and shit on VMs and containers and whatnot.

No, but an old laptop or a Raspi that functions as server. Which stands in the ugliest corner of your apartment and is bothering no one. Or are you running some crazy multiphase modeling simulations? My gaming PCs needs to much power to run some containers.

Power is generally very cheap in the US, so the ~5 watt power draw is nothing. Rough calculation would be something like 50 cents per month.
