After the whole news of data center sites being valid military targets, my decision this year to colo some stuff in a former nuclear bunker seems less of a whimsical decision and more (unintentionally) prophetic
@benjojo It's a few years ago, but the last nuclear bunker DC I visited did rely on quite a lot of above-ground infrastructure which ruined it a bit for me. They did have a lovely guard dog called Sheila though.
@bencc tbh the site I am in is also not fully completed yet lol, I just had a reasonably beefy 1U box that was depreciating in real time before my eyes, so I wanted to get it somewhere useful, and the opportunity presented itself
@Tubemeister @bencc hah, you are probably right, even if it's not depreciating, I would rather have it running than sitting in my house not doing much

Oct 12, 2026, 2:10 PM@benjojo is it at Hack Green or are there more post-nuclear DCs in the UK?
@insom Another one
