I regularly get letters from the power company about how I'm using like 3x the power of the average person in my type of unit.

I'm also using a lot of self hosted things but have never received any of those.

Where do you reside generally where they're sending them because it ain't a thing here in the UK?

US, west coast.

It's not meant to make a person feel attacked as much as gently nudging them to use less power.

Pretty sure its even automated.

I don't think I'd feel "attacked" but more impressed that I came to light if they sent me them very much like a naughty "copyright warning" and would send it back with a brick in it.

Cheers!
