You better off enabling compression on a dataset.

Dedupe, even with the recent improvements, has huge overheads and will generally degrade in performance as the dataset increases in size, as it needs to keep track of the ‘routing’ table in RAM to redirect the request deduplicated blocks to the actual stored data. Apparently the latest openZFS release reduces the speeds loses over larger datasets, but it’s still subpar compared to compressed data

Video files are already heavily compressed, you’d be better off transcoding it to a more efficient media codec, like X265 or AV1, to save space on video files

Industrial HVAC systems use water towers to cool the hot side of system. The method relies on physics of evaporative cooling to reduce temperatures of the water. The process requires water to be absorbed by atmosphere, to drive the cooling effect. (Lower the humidity, the higher the cooling efficiency is, as the air as greater potential to absorb and hold moisture).

The method is somewhat similar to power station cooling towers. Or even swamp coolers. (An odd example would be, experimental PC water cooling builds with ‘bong coolers’, which are evaporative coolers, built from drainage pipes)
