   DO NOT TAKE HOME THE FREE 1U SERVER, YOU DO NOT WANT THAT ANYWHERE. A CLOSET DOOR WILL NOT STOP ITS BANSHEE WAIL TO THE DREAD KING, AN UNHOLY CONDUIT TO DEPTHS OF INSOMNIA BINDING DARKNESS TO EVEN THE DAY

   THE EMBRACE OF SLEEP WILL NEVER AGAIN VISIT YOUR MIND; SANITY WILL BE FORGOTTEN LIKE THE FROSTY WHISPS OF AIR ESCAPING A FREEZER DOOR AT NIGHT, ILLUMINATED BY ONLY A FAILING LIGHT INSIDE. THEIR ETHEREAL SCREAMS SUBLIMATING INTO AND DISPLACING THE CLIMATE OF TOES.

   AT THE END, I COULD NO LONGER DISTINGUISH BETWEEN SCREAMS OF THE 1U SERVER AND MY OWN. SOON IT WOULD NOT MATTER, FOR WE BECAME THE SAME. A MINDLESS COLLECTION OF MATTER ABANDONED IN THE HOWLING DARK.

     @rlaimondas A 1 unit tall server that fits in a standard data center server rack and is built more to the constraints of that environment than to e.g. an office with people in it, as a desktop would be.

     @SwiftOnSecurity @rlaimondas Server rack equipment has standard sizes. Each "U" is 1+3⁄4 inches (44.45 mm) high, so 1U units are super limited in what size of fan you can put in them (40mm fans, max). This limitation tends to make them *very* loud as you typically need to use multiple small fans with high rpm rates in order to provide sufficient cooling.

     @mnemonicoverload @rlaimondas Further, rack servers have no regard for acoustic signature. Server chassis have no consumer acceptability pressure, they're in dedicated facilities and ordered by people who will never even see them. Taking them out of their element can fucking ruin your marriage.

     @purserj @SwiftOnSecurity @mnemonicoverload @rlaimondas it depends on the spouse! Mine tolerated one for a time in the basement because it ran our Minecraft server.

     @SwiftOnSecurity @mnemonicoverload @rlaimondas took home a couple of old proliants from a job about 20 years ago.

     They had a sub-zero WAF
