    Yeah data centers are more secure than some prisons probably. Lots of sensitive data inside owned by a lot of companies, big and small. I’ve had to register and scan my retinas to gain access to the main building past the lobby. Then multiple airlocks all requiring key card taps to traverse through the labyrinth of cages until I get to a cage that I have access to, and then another card tap to get in.

    And if you were somehow able to gain access without being known, if it’s your first time inside that particular data center there’s a good chance you’ll get lost or locked inside somewhere that you can’t exit, in an area where someone might not visit for hours, days even. You might actually just die in there like a caged rat.

    But also, data centers are great for introverts who like to work in solitude. They’re dark, cool, have tons of white noise, and you can be pretty isolated.

    Oh and also, if the fire alarms go off you have a short window of time to get out before they flood the place with a gas that you can’t breath and you could quickly die.



















  • April 4 (Reuters) - Indian refiners have purchased Iranian oil amid the Middle East conflict that has disrupted supplies through ‌the Strait of Hormuz, the oil ministry said on Saturday.

    The world’s third-biggest oil importer and consumer, India has not received a cargo from Tehran since May 2019, following U.S. pressure not to buy Iranian ⁠crude, but supply disruptions from the U.S.-Israel war have hit the South Asian nation hard.

    “Amid Middle East supply disruptions, Indian refiners have secured their crude oil requirements, including from Iran; and there is no payment hurdle for Iranian crude imports,” the oil ministry said on X.

    Last month, the United States temporarily removed sanctions on Iranian oil ‌and ⁠refined products to ease supply shortages.

    India has secured its full requirements of crude oil for the coming months, the ministry added. “India imports crude oil from 40-plus countries, with companies ⁠having full flexibility to source oil from different sources and geographies based on commercial considerations.”

    India has also bought 44,000 metric tons ⁠of Iranian liquefied petroleum gas loaded on a sanctioned vessel. The ministry said the vessel, which berthed at ⁠the western port of Mangalore on Wednesday, is discharging the fuel.
