Comment on What is your weirdest self-hosting problem you've had to solve? For me: Mouse inside the server.

Reminds me of a time at my old job. It was a small office and this was before “the cloud” was a buzzword, so we had a little server room running a few boxes for AD, Exchange, and the thick end of our thin clients.

This “server room” was basically a large closet behind my office, retrofitted with its own AC.

We had residential units on the higher floors of our building. Residents occasionally thought to themselves “you know what makes a great hanging rack? Sprinkler pipes!” Hijinks ensued.

That was a fun call to get at 10PM.

Shoutout to the facilities guy who immediately thought to run a makeshift tarp over the server rack, fashioned from trash bags. No permanent damage.
