Ffs I hope I’m not the only one that read that to mean the temperature of the data centre warmed the house 🫠

i wonder how they made the decision to use raspberries. doesn’t really look like the ideal platform to run a datacentre on.

good for homeowners, but bad for IT. Who will put its mission critical service in a shed? Why? Very impractical. Imagine a poor IT guy trying to locate the correct shed in a stormy day, to change a failed power supply.

This is dumb. Currently the computers aren’t doing anything useful

Makes sense in the winter but what happens when the data centre is running in the summer and the heat is surplus to requirement. I doubt a data centre that produces that much heat can operate without active cooling in the summer.

I wonder what that contract looks like. Gives me a Black Mirror premise feeling.

Hmmm if he heats his home with data center, does people who run the data center pay for his electrical bill??

Getting way too close to the actual plot of the Matrix.

£375 a month, wtf did they have the heating set to 30c?

So this could be useful for stuff like certain kinds of CI, or low compute things like the backend for IOT.
I wonder how they handle upgrades once the hardware is too old to use ?
Distributed Data Center concept. Customers would then pay Nerdalize for the compute/storage.
Nerdalize aren’t around anymore.

I think I just had puppies trying to think of how to ensure supply chain integrity with this one.

Curious about the model here… Presumably the data center company is paying the electricity bill? Otherwise, computers are far less efficient than a heat pump, and that £40 is gonna go through the roof once the computers actually start doing something

Those fans push some air. Why didn’t I think of this?

Nerdalize tried this nearly 10 years ago
