Server as heating device - how do I do this?

So I have this silly idea/longterm project of wanting to run a server on renewables on my farm. And I would like to reuse the heat generated by the server, for example to heat a grow room, or simply my house. How much heat does a server produce, and where would you consider it best applied? Has anyone built such a thing?

He admits that its a dumb idea on the wan show later so take that as you will.
While i havent read the other comments yet, i bet at least a couple have recommended heatpumps. They are the best solution here.

But if you want to have some fun, grab a large pump and water cool the server, make sure all your water cooling connections can withstand the pressure your giving them and then run the cooling tubes out to your green house.

People are thinking of the firewall here as something external. You can do this without outside help.

Who is this source.
Why are they telling me this.
How do they know this.
What infomation might they be ommiting.

From that point you have enough infomation to make a judgement for yourself what a point of infomation is.

Yeah this is the main problem. Might just mean the homes need to be more barebones and strongly constructed(soviet blocks?) so that if they start filling it with furniture its their furniture and they might be less likely to break it.

To be clear, im not suggesting unhousing them because they wreak the place. What i am suggesting is giving them a roof to sleep under and some basic facilities. All of which are designed to be prettymuch bulletproof to abuse, so we dont just spend money giving homeless people inhospitible conditions to live in.

One of the sibling comments talked about giving them mental health help as well which i think is a great idea.

Been using me undies myself for just over 6 years. Theyre started to break down over the last year. One complaint i have is the purple lining they use for the elastic seems to leave a mark around my waist. I've been waring them inside out to accomidate.

I'll be trying some lttstore undies soon. Hopefully theyre similar quality but slightly longer lasting.

We can learn to cope while we also learn to fix. The actions are not muturally exclusive.

I don't have any ideas, but love the post idea. Im moving into a new place soon,ight try do the same.

I wouldnt underestimate how many cummins engines there are, lots of trucks, tractors and other large machines use them, some of which run constantly. If anything i would say they got off lighter than VW

My local library offers audiobooks through an app that ive been using a bunch and the city library has 3d printers that im going to try use instead of getting my own(for now, I'll see how much I use it).
Go explore your libraries. Theres more to them than books.

Planning on building a small anemometer and open sourcing as much of it as possible. A small bering holding a rotator and a magnet with a reed switch is how im planning on measuring the rotations. Then it will be hard wired from there to a base station with an old raspberry pi that i have and a small display for recent data. Ill need to update the pi if i want wifi so i can stream data to a server constantly but this seems like a good start, upgrades can be made later.
