What are you doing with heat? in c/homelab@selfhosted.forum

I live in Australia.

I pump all the heat out of my server room to the outdoors.

In doing this I am assisting cooling the planet by pumping my low temperature servers heat into the environment and reducing the overall global temperature increase.

Two options, if the house is "double brick" (IE brick wall that has an airspace between, them) drill a hole, and use plates to hide it again.

If its an old thick stone type building, then Google Chasing Brick Wall. The tools are not expensive, but it is messy and requires filling and repair. but its all you can do.

You can chase a double brick home if you want, but its a bit pointless.

Shelling out for it, and the ongoing costs.

Electricity might be "cheap" in amreica. But in the Real world, selfhosted costs real money that takes from other necessities like heating/cooling.

Don't try to bullshit me, power is expensive in AU, and Heat/Cool is regularly on.

My quarterly with a VERY modest system, and really taxing rules on power (read using AC/HEATING) and my quarters are still $600AUD.

Hope you have a good paying job, or live in a country that doesn't give a shit about power costs.
