When I was looking @ putting video encoding compute boxes in a colo with
metered power, I played with wake-on-demand to only spin them up when they
actually had jobs to do.
I was using Proxmox' built in WoL nonsense along with some terrifying calendar
automation to schedule boxes being alive.
Someone who cared a little bit more could probably write quite a nice thing
where you can "book" time and have a box/boxes spin up, and gracefully shut
down when done.
Apropos of very little, I used to heat my old flat's bedroom w/ a box because
the central heating in that flat was *so bad* that it was cheaper to get the
company to pay me for colo! Lived under the bed - Terrible place for a computer.
