To me, it's a risk management problem but a lot of people just find it as a fun hobby too.
Right out of college my best friend got a job at a datacenter. He was showing me the generators and how they have 30 days of fuel on site. I asked him why 30 and not 40 (and so on), he said he asked his boss the same question and the reply was if this datacenter doesn't have power and can't get fuel after 30 days then there are bigger problems in society than accessing websites.
- FooHentai 6y agoEven that amount of fuel on-site is extreme, I'm guessing it was a pretty small Datacenter as being able to have that much fuel implies relatively low power draw. Tier 4 Datacenter spec is to be able to survive 96 hours of provider power loss.
