I'm not 100% with M3 (Footscray complaint one) but I've seen the M2 (Tullamarine) ones fire up regularly enough. M1 (Fishermen's Bend) fires up fairly regularly though I don't know the exact clocking.

I feel for the Tullamarine residents more than Footscray though. Sharps Rd Tullamarine will have 3 huge data centres; NextDC and Vantage bordering houses and then Air trunk ~800m up the road. Imagine when all 3 generator test coincide.

Revenue target was hit, why roll out more /s

If there's fire in both places at the same time the diplomatic fallout would mean neither place would help each other anymore.

Having said that, the Country fire volunteers of Australia do a darn good job travelling to helping each other out. They do hold a hose.

You don't think it's fair enough for an industry that didn't have water rules to fight back when rules start being written that specifically target them?

I think data centres use too much water and should be forced into building closed loop systems for example but this is the perfect time to fight back against all poor water usage everywhere.

• Close golf courses to start planting urban native forests
• Ration meat and dairy to Australians
• Charge a tax/toll for non native gardens, including soccer and cricket fields
• Force food packaging to display how much water went into making it
• Jail time for watering concrete
• Ordinance forcing bowls clubs to use astroturf instead of real grass
• Ban pokies machines

At critical sites, most generators are fired up monthly for at least a 15 minutes. Most companies hate doing that because of the cost but do it to keep their tier 4 rating.

I think all of NextDC are tier4 which means they have redundancies and fault tolerance to keep 99.999% uptime (about 5 minute outage per year).

I don't understand all the NextDC hate though. They are the Australian DC company that just supplies each space to other businesses and government agencies. NextDC don't runs servers that mine your data or generate shitty videos, they supply space to for businesses to run servers. Go hate on Microsoft or Amazon for their massive datacentres that not only kill the environment but sell out our privacy as well.

I mean I have a speech impediment and slur a lot

Don't think I've ever said yes to my wife then

Most people don't understand the scale nor the difference in land production capabilities. An acre doesn't always produce an acre of food.

I wish they would block the corporate portal 'feelgood' ads. I don't really care that Carl plays over 50s cricket or that Maggie knits sweaters for bald cockatoos.

Yeah but put it on a private network, not the internet

Congrats on buying your own place. I wish you didn't have to live in your car to do it but hopefully you never have to again.
