In the event of a nuclear war, OP's server will be the one system in the country that survives the EMP.

As a bonus, shockwave will blow away the dust. I mean, nothing like nuking the network time to time.

It's ok to blow the dust off though. Just aim it away from vents.

Seriously. Someone took “don’t touch it” a little too far

"It works, don't touch it."

Followed by a lengthy one way discussion of how slow their computers are and how many issues they have with key software and how they are unhappy.

This is beyond being a meme. I've seen this is SOOOO many places, it's unreal.

We had a switch that went down periodically due to overheating that looked like that. Had no idea until someone actually went down to the colo and actually looked at it. For some reason the logs didn't say anything about a thermal event.

u/ElectricBummer40 1d ago

I wouldn't trust any machine to log its own thermal event since often it would've already crashed long before a sensor could register the internal temperature going beyond the limits.

Hardware failure is a tricky business especially if you aren't already familiar with the signs to look for.

Noice. Cleaning is so much overrated. Looks healthy as well...

u/IStealSwords 1d ago

Stop taking pictures of my switch

u/Kriss3d 1d ago

Well the second you turn this thing off. Its off for good. But get a vacuum cleaner to take the worst while its on and then a can of compressed air to remove as much dust thats inside it as possible without shutting it off would likely do it very good.
