As one does I was thinking about my bedroom fan/noise usage in the middle of the night.
Call it 30 years, 9 hours/night. The current fan is about 55/w, 181kWh/year.
So 5430kWh for all that time.
Which is about the normal > 1 year < output of a modern 5,000 kWh solar panel, roughly 25 - 35 square meters of roof space.

I've got a process than runs every hour; it does a local backup snapshot, and checks the snapshots for validity.
It goes full-hog on my storage, and calculates some checksums/hashes/etc., so it's also pegging the CPU. It does this for a pretty short time, but it's long enough to spin up my fans. I want it to stay quiet.
I'm running it with `nice -n 19 ionice -c 3`; is there anything else I can do to slow it down?
