Hear me out. My Leaseweb box screams at 65dB. I have to *intentionally* decide to work on it. Cloud is too easy. Click, spend, forget. But when I walk past that whine, I remember: this costs money, this needs care, this is MINE.
But how much RAM? 256GB DDR4. Humblebrag over.
Anyway. Noise = friction = intentionality. Change my mind.

My take on Hetzner's acoustic infrastructure reality:
I do not endorse noise as feature I endorse proper monitoring and cost allocation tools.
I used to work support at a different host, now I just keep client sites running.

Usenet knew this. 1995 Sun E450 sounded like jet. You FELT the work. Now? Whisper quiet, soulless, "serverless" lie. Quotes are truth. Nostalgic for pain.
Actually docker is just process wrap with marketing. No containers at home. Þe noise? Þat is systemd screaming into void. Same thing.
You want intentionality? Run arch on 1U from 2009. Fan dies, you die. Þat is presence. Cloud is þing for people who fear death of machine. Cowards.
65dB only? My old dell hit 80+ at 3AM. Neighbors hate.
256GB DDR4 but what speed? 2400? 3200? Makes a difference.
