All things HPC. My words are my own and have no reflection on those of my employer. @[email protected]

@psu_chris Be it in oil or other fluids immersion has enough drawbacks including creep and floor space/loading that it isn’t the “easy win” many suggest. I say this having done it a few times, lovely theory, certainly some use cases but unlikely to be mainstream DC in the near future.

@jonmasters @EversourceMA I’m guessing the are United Nations “Professionals “

@owainkenway Change the caps in the PSU and you can probably solve the fire risk 😛

[Mark Allsopp @mark_allsopp]

@owainkenway Indeed you did.

@glennklockwood I’m more worried that reading is the centre of its world….

[Mark Allsopp @mark_allsopp]

@owainkenway Winning…

[Mark Allsopp @mark_allsopp]

@FelixCLC_ @QuinnyPig FML I hope you got some blooming nice perks for that.

@owainkenway Passive cooling is good and should be mandated, but adding active cooling to these or as you say the heat pump running backwards debacle needs to be easier/fixed.

[Mark Allsopp @mark_allsopp]

@owainkenway Noooo it’s cheap because you don’t need to pay IT staff to run it*

* You just need a cloud team, security team and a finops team to start ;)

[Mark Allsopp @mark_allsopp]

@owainkenway @GreggsOfficial But where dis the man go?

So a theme park is subject to 5% VAT, but private education is a luxury and subject to 20%…
🤷🤯🤯🤯

[Mark Allsopp @mark_allsopp]

@glennklockwood Why though… just because you can doesn’t make it the best solution. Archiving policy, security isolation, how long will the migration take when it’s time to move…

It might be a valid use case, but it’s probably more limited where one mega namespace is optimal.

@FelixCLC_ Please simulate an appropriate distribution of plinth sizes, flexibility and heights to confirm an appropriate distribution is obtained at moment of rapid deceleration. This will be required before investment in comedy plinth is authorised.

[Mark Allsopp @mark_allsopp]

@owainkenway Finally :) Well done to the customer facing staff who managed to convince people to make it.

@owainkenway Create a doom mod of UCL, install freedoom (hardware is too expensive for anything beyond doom) and remove your stress?

[Mark Allsopp @mark_allsopp]

@owainkenway Ahhh 😂😂😂

[Mark Allsopp @mark_allsopp]

@owainkenway Ohhh … are we supposed to be impressed? I really don’t get all the pre briefing nonsense.

[Mark Allsopp @mark_allsopp]

@owainkenway Nothing compared to the torture of public transport, where it’s cheaper to drive/fly and the service is still terrible!
