That's right in the range for subfloor heating, obviously a question of whether or not you can get it somewhere that you need it

I suppose that's very true. But it could be done - if a data center needs megawatts of cooling and is in an area where buildings need to be heated in the winter, then there should be a legal obligation to not just dump that heat.

There's probably some alternate uses for the heat if these things were well designed. There's some building in denver that is near a major sewer and in the winter they use a heat exchanger to extract that energy and use it to heat the building.
- Comment on Amount of RJ45 Ports on Home Server? 1 year ago:
I've seen it done in data center environments where there are two connections to two different switches - so you can do maintenance on either switch without downtime.
Same reason for having dual power feeds to each machine.
- Comment on How do I implement wake up on lan (WoL)? 1 year ago:
I run a wireguard service on my Unifi Edgerouter and it works pretty well for that situations. I can also (in theory) send WOL packets from home assistant but i've never tried.
- Comment on Looks like google domains is no more. 1 year ago:
I have a .ms domain registered with nic.ms but I point the domain name servers at cloudflare and i can manage it in CF with all their features. I do have to pay for it elsewhere but that's a minor inconvenience.
