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?

I recently got a 3D printer, and I just figured out why I get a visceral reaction at some points during the prints.
It’s the fan ramping up that brings me back to the bad old days of mid 2000s windows laptops that burned your legs and had those loud screaming fans!

Asus ROG Ally overheating can kill your microSD card reader (and cards), so Asus plans to crank up the fan speeds a bit, which could make the handheld noisier, but safter to use. Affected users can request repairs. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/asus-admits-rog-ally-microsd-card-reader-may-malfunction
