sjvnThis is not the cooling system I asked for.
Kévin ⏚@sjvn this raises the question - why wasn't it the cooling system you asked for ?
QRSS_Test@sjvn As long as it’s a dielectric coolant, you’re fine. Disks may not like it though.
Tai xzo@QRSS_Test @sjvn aren’t disks usually sealed these days?
Ben Collier@sjvn hmm, I think this happened at a place I used to work. They left the old water sprinklers on in a server room. Network was out for weeks.
Katiame@sjvn Ohhh, nooo....
@sjvn I work in a building next to a river. This is why none of the equipment is located in the basement, it's on an upper floor (higher than any flood waters would reach). The basement is just the gym and conference rooms.
AlexanderMars@AlexanderMars @sjvn Who doesn't love swimming with the electronics?
@Katiame Not everyone has so much foresight. Just ask the 75 Broad Street in New York data center screw during Hurricane Sandy. https://www.datacenterknowledge.com/archives/2012/10/31/peer-1-mobilizes-diesel-bucket-brigade-at-75-broad
Diesel 'Bucket Brigade' Keeps Peer 1 Online at 75 Broad
Employees of Peer 1, blog host Squarespace and Fog Creek Software have formed a "bucket brigade" to relay 5-gallon buckets of diesel fuel from the street to the upper floors of the 75 Broad Street in New York to keep their backup generator fueled.
@sjvn Our back-up generator is not in the same buidling. Our data back-up is in a completely different location in case of disaster. We cannot chance going down if something happens due to the kind of business we are. There are multiple contingencies for everything, most of which I am not privy to.
screambiogenesis@sjvn Flashback to the turn of the century when madmen and madladies were overclocking 300MHz Celerons to over a gigahertz by dipping the whole PC in coolant...
Hacker Memes@sjvn deep learning in progress
Brett Elliff@sjvn this gives me chills, any idea of the source?
The Implausible GirlI've been doing a research dive (ahem) on it and so far the oldest version of it I have found is a BMP image from 2014 here: https://web.archive.org/web/20141017062707/http://support.spectralogic.com/services-and-contracts/storage-crisis-lifeline/
It looks to me to me like the original is a clear photoshop effort.
@implausiblegrrl Thanks for the sleuthing! I appreciate the Whovian reference as well! 😁
@implausiblegrrl @gatewayy Thanks! That's farther back than I was able to go.
Gord@sjvn Is that a bloody fish?! 😂
@sjvn motha fuckin data lake right there, son

Marc Reeve@sjvn is that the Mar-a-Lago server room after the pool got drained?

Gobabu@sjvn It's the Dataleaks servers.
Budley@sjvn and flush to disk.
Cadbury Moose@sjvn I remember an email from someone in the Canadian office saying they were going offline so they could drag the AS/400 (thankfully one of the smaller models) up to a higher floor due to rising floodwater. 3:O)>
Justin Buist@sjvn No lie, came into work one morning and found the boss had put an evaporative cooler in front of the server rack because he didn't like how much power the AC took.
Trust me, you can't argue with the guy.
All the servers died within 6 months and were replaced. With air conditioning.
