A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Jesus! What are you running that makes that much noise? I have two HP DL360p gen8's (older 1u units with LOUD fans when they get going) and a custom built gaming server in a rack at the end of my bed. Together they're sometimes a bit annoyingly loud when they're hard at work, but with the door closed you can barely hear them. I can't imagine a single server so loud that neighbors could hear it from a basement. You got a supercomputer in there or something?
Ahhhh. Okay, I thought you meant a single unit was creating all that noise.
Got it - it's all Linux ISOs.
If my dream of living out in the woods ever comes true, I'll legit do this. Until then, I figure I wouldn't last a week being so close to a major city so it's a moot point.
1U servers tend to have loud fans regardless of age. Small fans that spin very quickly (to get decent airflow) will do that. They're also designed for use in data centers where noise is less of a concern.
Sometimes you can replace server fans with Noctua fans, but the small Noctua fans generally have less airflow than the stock ones (usually made by Delta) so you'd have to check they'd be sufficient for your use case.
Oh, I know it. Thankfully the noise is only bad during initial boot (which seldom happens) or if they're really kicked into high gear.
