Why? IMO we should all avoid waste, whether that's plastic or energy.
Then you must hate that almost all of sun's energy hitting earth is wasted
Do you disagree that humans need to minimise waste in order to fight climate change?

How is it an act? Caring about the climate is clearly morally superior than not doing so.
How do you know the man’s power is not cleanly generated?

This is such a bad faith comment. The sun isn't causing climate change; we are. Do you disagree that humans need to minimise waste in order to fight climate change?
I find this really disturbing. On the one hand this looks really nerdy and cool but then I see the immense amount of hardware that also relies on power... so much power. This is completely unnecessary but then I also see the pictures of an F150.. so yeah it makes sense. I have to categorize this as a (un)typical American person that does not care about the environment. Do like the fact that he runs a RIPE probe thoug…
Second, this person seems to have a very large house anyway. My house manages with a modem, a wifi router and two IP cameras, but that can just scale up linearly.
When I grow up I want a switch rack like this in a basement or closet, wired network everywhere and PoE security cameras. Bigger house also means I can get an array of solar panels and become net positive.

I find your comment to be at the absolute peak of sanctimony. Who are you to decide if it is necessary or not? Furthermore, why are you justified in negatively stereotyping Americans – a diverse group of individuals?

I hope you're trolling. Power can be generated without an environmental impact. There are companies (and F150s) dumping kgbjillions more CO2 than this person's homelab is. Let people learn something and have some fun.
Power cannot be generated without an environmental impact. Even solar panel and wind turbine generate a non negligible amount of pollution when produced, and a non negligible amount of waste when they have to be decommissioned. Also, it is highly unlikely that he is using his own grid, he probably pulling most of his power from the U.S grid, which (like most grid to be fair) contains a fair amount of CO2 heavy source…
Individual accountability is important, but self-flagellation or (vicarious) shame because forces bigger than us are causing problems is a waste of energy (ha!).
My first thought is - imagine hiring this guy to architect your corporate network. The cost would probably be 10x for hardware, for the "just in case" factor and coolness to the setup...
