OT, and please don't interpret me as naysaying using spare CPU to contribute to distributed computing projects, but i was interested to see how much more power my machine ate while running dnetc. http://www.ice-nine.org/jrrs/meter/ ( taken from a watts-up pro meter and awk/rrdtool frickery ) the plateau is me running dnetc, and the bookends are pretty much idle usage (a little screen/w3m/ssh here and there). ~275 W at idle; ~335 W at full tilt. ( i have my monitor (22" CRT) on that power outlet too, which increases my baseline by about ~80W, iirc ) in passing i am curious about what the cumulative power consumption of all the projects is. again, OT, but wanted to share. -- jared [ openbsd 3.8 GENERIC ( oct 30 ) // i386 ]
