I like the Sonoff S31 smart outlets flashed with tasmota, they're super easy to flash, super easy to configure, can communicate through mqtt (also easy to configure), have switching capability as well as measuring, and cost $7 a piece on Amazon.

Mind sharing some details on that ryzen server? It sounds cool

 

I have an old server with dual Xeon E5-2690v4 CPUs and 384GB of RAM that I used to run before I downsized, now I just spin it up every once in a while to play with. The apartment I'm currently in has electric baseboard heaters, so I figured if I have to heat the place with just electricity anyways, I might as well use a computer. Any suggestions on what to run to keep the server relatively busy? Either something that could make me a few bucks, or something where I can donate the compute time to something worthwhile, or just something fun since I have to pay for the electricity either way. Btw if this is too low effort let me know and I'll remove the post, I didn't include much detail because I'm pretty much open to any ideas.
