Sometimes I just stand there and stare at this thing humming away. I think I have a problem.

Are you using brains?
Yup! came with Braiins OS+, have been hoping around pools but in Braiins pool as well
Check out noctua fans for an easy swap to reduce noise. Including the power supply fan. It is a larger source of the noise than I expected.
Nice! Bookmarked and will check out!
I checked out kaboonracks fan experiments they are very informative
That’s where I got my S9’s! They were super helpful on Telegram.
Mine arrived on Friday, just got back from smuggling it across the border into Canada
It’s screwed up you have to smuggle a electric number guessing machine
Hey Scott, I just tried to zap this post, however you don't have a lighting address hooked up. Did you need any assistance in that?
Yeah! Point me to some easy resources to do so without using trusted third parties!

Just wait until you start manually tuning it for max efficiency.
I don’t know much about home mining, but it seems like electricity costs are too high for most folks to just plug in and be profitable right?
Have you looked into ways of generating cheaper electricity just for the purpose of mining?
You’re right! Especially for older versions like the S9. I have relatively cheap power in Texas but still lose about 80 cents per day. I enjoy tinkering with miners and the idea of non-KYC sats (and being able to hear my garage), so I’m happy to pay the fee…but yes not profitable! Have looked into solar a bit but really, you have to scale up relatively big to be profitable.

Cool, thanks for the info! I enjoy seeing different setups. Exploring different ways of utilizing the heat is interesting too, I could see tinkering around with it being fun.
It is! They’re pretty cheap right now too (the S9’s), less than 100 bucks through nostr:npub1q4zl8v0cpeu0lv47msq2z0jpkr2q3wq5d4ukylxg9sx7t7rcz0uq5ftv7q
Worth the hours & hours I’ve spent messing around with them (getting them online, joining pools, etc)!
