    Why are they called “data” centers? They’re digital diarrhea centers. There is no “data” here in the sense of anything meaningful.

    You might as well buy exabytes of storage, mount it as one volume, and pipe /dev/random to it. Or to be a bit more physical, hook up a noise diode to a nice ADC.
