    With how common LEDs are nowadays it’d probably be hard to spot a difference between a small grow operation and a 14-hour-a-day streamer. A consistent 1200+ watt jump at around the same time, day in and day out in both scenarios

      Yep, or all us self-hosters. I have a 200 watt machine that comes on at specified times to run Backups.

      Then there’s solar and batteries. Grow operations could setup a battery farm that charges slowly from the grid so it never shows a spike, and run everything off the batteries.

      It’s expensive, but solves the issue

        2 computers, one with a capture card, a digital audio converter, lighting, etc etc. Main rig might be pulling 600ish watts but there’s probably 500 watts of miscellaneous other stuff

        Hey, leave the woodworking streamers alone.
