Since devices that compute generate heat, it is a good way to hear your home up in the PNW. Additionally, you get to host websites. Everyone wins.
Better if you mine crypto, cuz any profit is just extra. You get the same results as if you were using a wall heater but you also get something in return.
Also (in theory) you can stick a VPN in front of it to hide your home IP to prevent DDoS attacks etc.
Right but if you're using a mini split you'll get much greater efficiency for the heat.
But can your mini split run doom?
Quite likely yes
