This is self-hosting, it is inherently inefficient.
Consolidating servers, storage, power, cooling, networking is always more efficient.
From your example: one full bus is more efficient than any configuration of even the most efficient cars.
I do this for a bunch of reasons, including being a hobby. Hobbies aren't meant to be efficient; first and foremost they are meant to be fun 😊
I'm pretty chill. I'm not sure attacking someone's efficiency based on their power consumption for an unspecified rack/workload is very chill...
