SwiftOnSecurityWhen your manufacturing processes are not 100% local to a datacenter your biggest enemy is not Russian hacks it's crackheads looking for copper ☹️
"Just get redundant lines" turns out the crackheads will take both of them
Fi 🏳️⚧️@SwiftOnSecurity kinda makes me think that an important criterion in site selection for datacenters is whether the local area does anything to help out their homeless/impoverished population.
Desperate people are a threat surface for continuity of operations.
sbi@munin @SwiftOnSecurity I dunno man, Berlin isn't particularly known in Germany for being a city full of wealthy people, but it's not like *everybody* is out on the streets here, fighting the pigeons for scraps. And, yet, copper cables disappear from it's city trains (S-Bahn) regularly—and not just during the wee hours of the day when the trains pause:
not a man, and it looks like there's quite a few homeless folks in berlin, so maybe the systemic injustices go a bit deeper than 'fighting pigeons'. https://www.dw.com/en/germany-nearly-2000-homeless-in-berlin-says-census/a-52288746
@munin I apologize for the misuse of that phrase. I hadn't looked at your profile and I am not a native speaker, so I just re-use what I heard elsewhere. Sorry.
Yes, there is homeless people in Berlin, roughly 1 in ~2000 Berliners. (Note: In Frankfurt that's 1 in ~200, in Munich it's 1 in ~150, and in NYC or SF it's 1 in ~100.) But those aren't the the cable thieves, b/c stealing cables from under a running train line requires the sort of logistics homeless people usually don't have around here.
