I mean, you're forgetting the additional power costs that you'll have to pay for running your own hardware, plus maybe ISP fees if you want to upgrade for better upload speeds.
Power cost depends. I use a thin client (J4105 CPU), and it idles at 4W. Idling is what it does 95% of the day. That power usage is lower than my modem, and a drop on the bucket compared to my (relatively low power) desktop PC. And I say that as a German who pays a disgusting 0.4€ per kWh.
Oh, I completely agree, it's still going to be fairly cheap, especially if it idles a lot, I just wanted to point out that it's not going to be free free.
true i didnt think about that i mean yes your right its gonna cost on that front but it shouldnt be too bad tho
You think the OP wants a hardware powered by solar power? What is for you "free"? I think you are going too far here.
