no water cooling
ya pay for your power
no fucking jet engines outside
noise bylaws strictly enforced

One of my contracts is with a gov adjacent org. I know they’ve got your personal info - the stuff like your DMV recs - kept very safely in a datacenter somewhere. It’s safe, reliable, and has great data connections.
