Fan replacement for DS923+

One of the fans in my DS923+ started rattling (regardless of RPM). Tried cleaning it but it didn't fix anything.

So I'm looking for a replacement. Where can I find OEM fans for this model?

Or should I go with Noctua NF-B9 redux-1600 fans and swap them both? Are there any issues I should be aware of if I install the Noctua fans?

Burned out from dealing with clients and people all day. what should I do?

I run a small business in an Eastern European country. The money is solid (around $120k a year after taxes), which probably puts me in the top 1% here, but I spend most of my time dealing with difficult and stubborn clients. I'm completely burned out. Today I snapped and ended a collaboration with one of my international clients.

I'm seriously considering selling the business and switching fields. I'm looking for something that involves far less people interaction. Right now I handle PR, sales, logistics, distribution and marketing for various tech brands in my country and across Europe.

I consider myself fairly technical, though not enough to pivot into software development. I tried sysadmin work before, but it came with the same issue: constantly dealing with people's demands and requests.

Has anyone here been in a similar spot? If so, how did you handle it and what path would you consider in my situation?

$600k in assets and $120k/year in an eastern european country, 32 yo. How shall I proceed?

I own a small company in an eastern european country and make around $120k/year (after taxes). I'm 32 years old and have accumulated ~$600k in assets (~70% in S&P500 ETFs and the rest in stocks and Bitcoin). LE: also have ~$70k in cash in various currencies for emergencies (disease, bankruptcy etc.).

I don't own anything physical (yet), not even a house, don't go on vacations much, but I'm targeting for retirement at 40. My income may not seem much for high earning americans, but here I'm probably in the top 1% of earners.

I'm pretty frugal and live with less than $2k/month (it's actually well above average here). The rest goes to stock market investments. Assuming that I'll continue investing (even more if the business grows) and that my assets can go close to $2 million in the next 8-10 years, how can I play it safe from there onwards?

If I retire at 40-42 (and probably sell the company by then), obviously I won't want to be exposed only to volatile assets. I don't want to get into real estate investments as I consider them immoral and with very low yields (at least in my country). >$1 million is plenty to retire here. I also plan to buy a house in the next couple of years ($250-300k for a nice one). How would you guys proceed in my situation? I don't plan to move to a western/more expensive country.

My business has become extremely stressful, I lose sleep over it (literally) and can't imagine doing it till 60. I wake up at 5 AM for online meetings with people from asian timezones, sometimes I stay late at night. I'm so fed up with it.

Looking for a private tracker specialized in K Drama

As the title says, I'm looking for a tracker that is focused on K Drama (TV shows and movies). Must have: english subs.

I have a home server and fast fiber internet so seeding 24/7 is not a problem for me.
