Unfortunately, they probably have state-of-the-art fire protection systems in those things.

Explosive force is probably the way to go...

    The easiest way to accomplish that would be to convince all of the data center owners to publicly rally behind a politician and then have that politician start a war with someone for no reason, making the data centers valid and high value targets.

    Ok. So why are the data centers still there?

    Yeah Iran said they supposedly had all these drones off the coast of California. Though most of the new data centers are coming up more inland in the desert or the Midwest in republican states with less regulation. I guess now they can claim they did that for security reasons too.

    Explosives are a bit too dangerous for the average person to play with.

    On a completely unrelated note, does anyone else remember those assholes from a few years back that were taking pot shots at power substations?

    I was just saying what would likely be most effective at damaging data centers, purely for the purposes of humor and scholarly discussion.

    A data center without power or AC is not a functional data center, and damage to such systems could cause massive damage inside, all without risk of premature detonation, theoretically speaking.

    My irl friends were just discussing what the weakes weak points of these facilities might be (so we will know not to do that)

    Most likely the power company charges you more now that they won’t see the money from the data center :x

    ironic, i'm waiting for the local dc to be built so it lowers my energy bills by 20%. huge resistive heaters powered by hydro, plugged directly into our district heating, all paid for by companies in another country? yes please.
