When I was looking @ putting video encoding compute boxes in a colo with
metered power, I played with wake-on-demand to only spin them up when they
actually had jobs to do.
I was using Proxmox' built in WoL nonsense along with some terrifying calendar

I think this would be a great thing for the space to do, espectially
