The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

This is an attic insulation issue. If your attic was insulated enough, you would have snow on the roof.
The heat transfer out the roof is dependent only on the indoor temperature, the outdoor temperature, and the attic's insulation. None of those parameters depend on whether or not you are running a server farm (unless the server farm is so powerful that it increases the indoor temperature to uncomfortable levels, and prevents the furnace from even running.
Isn't that the joke?
You have never visited /r/homelab, right? There are people with home server farms that draw multiple kilowatts. That will absolutely heat up your room to unconformable levels unless you have ample air conditioning
Multiple kilowatts is the equivalent of an iron, or a small space heater. Not that much in the grand scheme of things. Definitely not enough to heat a whole house to tropical temperatures. Maybe one room, but that's it.
Keep in mind that the author is German and most parts of Germany have pretty mild winters. It's extremely easy to melt the snow on your roof when the temperature is around the freezing point.
a decent sized server farm absolutely could raise indoor temperature
