There’s a niche type of CPU cooler you can get that uses just thermal mass, e.g. thermal pipes from your CPU spreader to finned metal on your case or directly into your case. They can’t provide as much cooling as liquid but it has zero moving parts.

I tried to get one of these cases/coolers for my home server and just could NOT find reasonably priced options or much availability. It’s kind of absurd, there should be a larger market for them.

I didn’t want to have to worry about dust build up and fans dying myself.

From my limited experience usually it’s because they implode from internal drama. To be human is to be lazy, and most people can’t get past that.

Oh yes, and it’s beautiful

Then use Tor if you’re truly scared

Good luck building a performant version.

Although I’ve always wondered why someone hasn’t built a Tor version of Lemmy/mastodon yet… imagining no home instance control, you’re just donating hosting to a truly decentralized website that nobody controls but anyone can post to. It would be the ultimate dissent tool.
