Poetry
gollark: I cleaned VAST quantities of dust out of my server while I was installing the GPU.
gollark: If I cared, I would purchase "noctuae" fans.
gollark: The primary server is safeguarded against this via rather loud cooling fans.
gollark: It was presumably because it is not actively cooled, so it does not have the "VRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR" which makes it clear that it's an Important Device™.
gollark: I don't know.
