What $1,000,000 of water cooling looks like - Building Shadow's Power Upgrade

[@literallycanadian]

Interesting? Don't you mean boring? we are only just now finnally getting half the stuff they talk about.

[@acceptedsniper]

@@literallycanadian It's a joke about how Luke was one of the main hosts of LTT during the mid 2010's, easily the most stagnant period of computer history. And then he left the company as soon as things started picking up, around the time of Ryzen and RTX.

[@janellemenzies7540]

If you like watching Luke, just go to the LTT channel page and filter by uploaded longest ago used to host the time

[@TMgamer95]

@@janellemenzies7540 You can not use this filter option anymore.

[@robertt9342]

@@acceptedsniper. Only the mid 2010s for CPUs and mid to late for GPUs. The CPUs got stagnant about a year after fx 8350 until the launch of ryzen. During that period CPUs were very boring as intel realized there was no competition. There was a ton of excitement before and after including accessories.

[@zacharylowe8083]

I didn’t realize how much I missed Luke hosting videos. I really hope he likes what he’s doing now because he’s still a phenomenal presenter. Man, I’m constantly impressed by LMG’s ability to cultivate presenters that we love. Just a few years ago Alex and Anthony, and Jake would have been brought in for special things, but they are now able to host with the best of them. Next up, have Jon do a techquickie!

Luke is absurdly good at hosting I miss him hosting more videos kudos Luke

[@LeftJoystick]

I’d trade Floatplane for Luke back in a heartbeat :’)

[@joshuaboniface]

I was at the Canadian Datacentre conference in Hamilton back in 2019 and went to a talk with one of the OVH guys about how the Quebec DC worked. It really is fascinating how much engineering they put into their cooling setup. I believe he quoted a 98% reduction in cooling power usage for what they do versus a typical datacentre which is crazy good.

[@tombrauey]

And given that it is already a water-based solution, the next logical step would be to heat water and/or homes with it. I was a bit surprised to learn that they have just a heat exchanger with the surrounding air.

[@Brurgh]

@@tombrauey the issue could be how close they are to the locals. I believe i read that Meta was combining their data centres in scandanavia with district heating, which already has infrastructure inplace, although not as efficiently as they are using air to water exchanger which then gets pumped into homes & businesses. More uses of excess heat produced by Data centres is essential in this climate!

[@Spyrolabs]

You can check qscale datacenter currently being built near Quebec city. They plan to use the heat to grow vegetables with a local producer.

[@sarah1390]

I Honestly think since Luke is running floatplane and having to deal with servers and more enterprise stuff, I feel like Luke should be more of the lead with the big server stuff. Also now that Linus and Luke have trained their staff well, It's nice to see them getting back to challenging each other in crazy ways while the rest of the staff handle the more day to day operations allowing these crazy videos to take place.

[@keymad4]

server stuff is more Jake and Anthony's cup of tea, not to put Luke down or anything and Wendal is "Server Master".

[@sarah1390]

@@keymad4 I get what you are saying and I agree totally. I'm just saying that Luke rather than Linus should be the main translator between what Jake or Anthony say to a more average person's level. I get the feeling that Luke would be able to more concisely convey their information compared to Linus and why Luke should be more involved with the server stuff. it takes talent to convey highly technical concepts to an average person's level

[@AyyyGabagool]

idk, jake is kind of a networking genius.

[@sarah1390]

@@AyyyGabagool Oh I agree Jake is a networking Genius. He has the knowledge and passion. The only thing I see Jake lacking in his presentation style is the ability to put it simply "Dumb It down" to a level to where a slightly technical person or even a newcomer can easily understand what he is going on about. Linus has that ability to simplify it to some degree but I always felt Luke had that ability to a bigger degree than Linus. Lets just say to keep it in the LTT Ecosystem is take his knowledge and put it into Techquickie format. Luke used to host a lot of Techquickie before he became head of Floatplane so he has gotten a feel for how certain terms need to be put into simple examples even if there was another writer involved. If Jake could work on that then by all means I would love him to fully host the server stuff.

[@JustMortHandle]

It's very cool seeing how the OVH servercenter works, as for the twin pumps, we used to set them up with a slight difference in run-time, as it would reduce the likelyhood of them failing at the same time, e.g. 1 day and 1.25 days.

Unfortunately it doesn't help when their shitty managed services are on fire. Trying to rely entirely on their cloud (esp. Kubernetes that loved to just hang until restarted) shortened my life by a good few years. Dedicated servers are pretty good when they're not on fire though.

[@Teitan]

The server that caught fire dated from 2011, that is to say an old technology with old standards. And the fire seems to have taken at the level of the inverters. The only real things I blame them for is not having had a backup, on another site like Roubaix for example.

really great to see Luke back! as a Shadow customer myself since 2018… HUGE AVOID!!! all the stars must align for it to work without problems and 9/10 they’ll tell you to create a new account when you encounter an issue hoping it will solve the issue. i’ve been having issues since October and multiple tickets later, i can’t use my shadow and yet again ‘please create another account’ which means you need a multitude of email addresses available to churn accounts as needed. I can’t say it enough , avoid if you don’t want to be severely disappointed.
