If anyone from oxide computer or similar is reading, maybe you should rebrand to BEEFY server inc...
idea for an ad campaign:
"mmm, beefy!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6ImwKMRq98&t=21s
i don't know how "worldwide" is the distribution of Chef "Boyardee" canned spaghetti (which today is not too good), but the founder's story is fairly interesting. He was a real Italian immigrant chef named Ettore Boiardi and he gets a lot of credit for originally evangelizing and popularizing "spaghetti" and "spaghetti sauce" in America when most people had never tried it.

you know, "spaghetti code..."?
If you would suggest a word that would make a better substitute in this case, that could move the conversation forward, and perhaps you could improve the aesthetic quality of posts about leaving the cloud.
As someone who's had to rack some pretty heavy servers with lots of GPUs, CPUs, NVMe drives, and RAM, that turned out to be quite powerful, I'd say "beefy" is accurate.

Side note edit: hefty and chonky don't tell me much about power. Stacked is usually more about a team or group of things (and for individuals, I'd rather not see it).
I think servers, especially bare metal, are in the category of grunt and raw power. Beefy feels right.
