[00:40] up_the_irons: reddit says your server runs loud. Is this true? https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/4cbjdp/very_loud_hp_server_se326m1_g6/ [00:41] it doesn't seem any louder than usual [00:41] but the data center itself is loud so i can't generally tell [00:42] was that photo taken with your phone? [00:43] yes [04:17] *** _iwc has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection) [06:38] *** Lucifer333 has joined #arpnetworks [12:15] rackmount servers are generally annoyingly noisy nathani [12:27] Which is why you lock them away in other people's buildings and do everything possible via idrac/ipmi etc [12:33] yeah [12:34] and wear ear plugs when going to dc [12:34] I prefer noise cancelling headphones, but yes [12:35] do noise canceling head phones actually protect your ears? [12:36] Datacentre noise isn't loud enough to cause hearing damage [12:36] ahh ok [12:36] there's an odd zen factor to camping w/ a crash cart for hours on end, milk tea in hand, nothing but fan noise filling the air~ [12:36] Well, the DCs I've been in aren't [12:36] I've never used ear plugs :o [12:37] it's enough to give me a headache :) [12:37] that's what the milk tea is for ^^ [12:37] but i suppose that doesn't mean it's damaging so much as agitating [12:37] Yes, just bloody annoying [12:38] And remarkably fatiguing [12:38] yeah it's amazing how much difference it makes at the end when you have ear plugs [12:38] even if you don't really notice at the time [13:35] *** Lucifer333 has quit IRC (Read error: Connection timed out) [13:57] *** Lucifer333 has joined #arpnetworks [14:00] *** Lucifer333 has quit IRC (Max SendQ exceeded)
