Worth trying using a 15 years old notebook for self hosting?
Worth trying using a 15 years old notebook for self hosting?
I found an old notebook PC lying around and I'm wondering if it could be enough to run a few services like the arr suite, qbittorrent and pi-hole.
Here's a few specs: Cpu : Intel Celeron 1011 1.6ghz Ram : 1Gig Ethernet port
If you think it's not a total waste of time, what distro would you install?

You'll probably save money in the long run using a pi.
I did the math:
Your math is wrong. If the Celeron runs 65W at idle then it is consuming at minimum 1.56kWh a day, at a price of €0.20 per kWh you're looking at a minimum operating cost of €113.88 a year.
You didn't factor in that days have 24 hours, not one hour.
Woops. You are correct.
11 years? Nevermind use the laptop for sure haha
