    Defending data centers is not a concept the crowds here is going to like, but a realistic perspective of the meme might be helpful. This aint going to fly… It was funny for Flock cameras because they are just outside in the wild. The whole point of data centers is that the infrastructure inside can share services, security being one of them, and they take it way too seriously. They are 21st century fortresses, physical security is part of their curb appeal. Rock up to Amazon and friends and see how long it takes for the fuzz to show up.

    Plus, the copper near there is likely highly energized, you want to see an arc flash? I DONT! You will get electeocuted and its going to hurt the whole time your dieing.

    Crackheads are a valueble resource, dont send them off after white whales. /s

      Yeah I work at one of those evil data centers (I hate it but its the only job that pays decently-ish and the work itself is just brain-dead logistics shit, putting hard drives into boxes and shit) and yeah, no one unauthorized is getting in. Unless you’re willing to roll up in literal tanks and storm a fortress, its not happening.

      This video is accurate: https://youtu.be/kd33UVZhnAA

      Since that video has been released, they have only gotten more advanced and more secure.

    I’ve been telling them about the GPUs and how they just pull out. And how you can get a 40L-50L hiking backpack and put $20k of them in it.
