For a while I had a Home Assistant automation that would spin up Prime95 on a machine in my homelab when the closet it was in (in an unheated garage) got too cold. The closet also has the water meter, so it has to be kept above freezing. There's also a resistive heater, but I figured I'd rather get a bit of productive use out of those watts.

Then I realized that the computers heated the closet plenty without artificially pegging CPUs, so I didn't bother reimplementing it when I did a migration.
