Instead of those super problematic power cords and PDUs and whatnot, there’s just a gas line running over the cabinets with some flexible gas line running to the back of each server. This is going to be great!
Random Damage 🌻@jerry How about microturbines?
At one per rack you can set them up to provide direct power, and the best part is that you can set them up to run on liquid fuels, too!
That way you can maximize uptime, and burn all the fossil fuels
