Run your own Bitcoin node.

Run your own Nostr relay.

A full Bitcoin node verifies all transactions and blocks to ensure that they are legitimate and in accordance with the network rules.

A personal Nostr relay provides a backup of your data and ensures that all of your notes and events are available to re-broadcast to others in the future.

For me it didn't make a difference. Running an i5 9600k and a mini pc. What made a difference in the electricity bill was the shower and the air conditioner

Agree. My node runs on a Raspberry Pi, but I have a 3 year old laptop (i7-8650U CPU @ 1.90GHz) that acts as my server that runs everything else, including my relay.

My Raspberry Pi uses a few dollars a year of electricity. You won't notice it.
