google search results are still kind of useful especially for non-english language queries, anyone knows a good alternative?

searxng also doesn’t really seem to work these days…

    modernize the cooling

    You’re not going to be able to remove the amount of heat they use with wind or evaporative methods, you need refrigerants. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cascade_refrigeration is where it’s at.

    You can build a modified kegerator and make it into a chiller https://future4200.com/t/chiller-hack-diy/220. Chillers are easy to make and if you look around they’re wildly abundant.

    The thing is, is the amount of refrigerant it would take and what it would take to keep it going effectively would mean down time and because they’re greedy fucking assholes they don’t want down time because that means money lost. So building them near natural gas and propane sources might be the only way to make it worth it.

    The ultimate issue is the footprint they would need to build the facility needed to run it and recapture and reuse the propane.
