Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

To my understanding 0.1kWh means 0.1 kW per hour.
It's the other way around. 0.1 kWh means 0.1 kW times 1 h. So if your device draws 0.1 kW (100 W) of power for an hour, it consumes 0.1 kWh of energy. If your ~~device~~ factory draws 360 000 W for a second, it consumes the same amount of 0.1 kWh of energy.
Thank you for explaining it.
It does not yet make sense to me. It just feels wrong. I understand that you may normalize 4W in 15 minutes to 16Wh because it would use 16W per hour if it would run that long.
Why can't you simply assume that I mean 1kWh per hour when I say 1kWh? And not 1kWh per 15 minutes.
A watt is 1 Joule per Second (1 J/s). E.g. Every second, your device draws 1 Joule of energy. This energy over time is called "Power" and is a rate of energy transfer.
A watt-hour is (1 J/s) * (1 hr)
This can be rewritten as (3600 J/hr) * (1 hr). The "per hour" and "hour" cancel themselves out which makes 1 watt-hour equal to 3600 Joules.
1 kWh is 3,600 kJ or 3.6 MJ
kWh is a unit of power consumed. It doesn't say anything about time and you can't assume any time period. That wouldn't make any sense. If you want to say how much power a device consumes, just state how many watts (W) it draws.
Thanks!
0.1kWh per hour can be written as 0.1kWh/h, which is the same as 0.1kW.
Thanks. Hence, in the future I can say that it uses 0.1kW?
Yes. Or 100W.
If this was over an hour, yes. Though you'd typically state it as 100W ;)
