What would be the next upgrade point from R630/R730 v4 CPUs in order to, say, half idle power usage? (alien.top)
 

I have few machines and am wondering when to start bothering with upgrades. Power is not too expensive here so I would probably switch if I can halve the idle wattage whenever more recent used hardware hits the second hand market.

I am currently looking at 70-90W per server.

NAS server has 4 disks 1 ram stick, proxmox has 8 disks full ram.

Alternatively, do I ride with the current setup until they fall apart?

Which 20TB? The last projects or random?

It's a 14nm tech that Intel polished and polished, but remained 14nm tech. If power is a concern, look into Optiplexes , Ryzens, the new Intel CPUs, etc.

Wear and tear?

Is hosting on my blockchain considered "selfhosting"? in c/main@selfhosted.forum

It's a bit ambiguous question:

A) If you are hosting the blockchain "at home", then by definition you contribute to the consensus of the network and you are just hosting the blockchain. Self hosting becomes irrelevant as your node becomes part of the never ending non reputation party.

B) If you are are enabling people to host data ON the chain itself: Well, good luck on future technical interviews if you put that on your resume :P
