Make all of them run a bogosort on a list of 10-100 items. Whichever one finishes last gets shot. Repeat until you no longer have idle servers

That’s a good question!
I have one running an adblocking DNS resolver.
For my business I have one that’s only used as a proxy (dumb IP whitelisting by API provider), another running headless Chrome (scraper for services without API), and another as a VPN. I always feel so wasteful but the majority of these can’t be combined into one server for reasons beyond my control.
For everything else, I containerize. I feel that that is much more energy efficient though I could be wrong.
do some folding?

Youch. Are you getting rammed?
Very much so

How do you do that on a VPS?
the hoster will take care usually as low energy costs is a primary goal for them.
It’s minimally specced machine. They should be able to handle it being at 70% CPU and memory most of the time.
I’m assuming you’re talking about some individual VPC that you’re paying for and not using. If you don’t do anything with it in a week then just shut it down after downloading a disk image.
It’s a sporadically active server for friends and family. They access it maybe a few times a day and it’s the cheapest VPS I could find. So shutting down is not an option atm.
