Uptime
Run a datacenter from your mum's garage to the Moon.
You start with two refurbished servers in your mum's garage. You end on the Moon. In between you keep a building full of very hot, very thirsty, very expensive computers running, and the internet keeps doing things to you.
- Four utilities
- Garage to the Moon
- Earns while you are away
Four utilities, one building
Every server earns money, and costs power, makes heat, drinks water through the cooling towers and needs network. LEDs blink with load, the hot aisle glows when it is hot, steam rises from the towers and the tank visibly drains, so you read the building rather than a spreadsheet.
From the garage outwards
The garage, a unit, a hall, a campus; then Reykjavik, Nevada and Singapore, the seabed, orbit and the Moon. The datacenter earns while you are away, but only an operator makes it thrive: picking contracts, riding price spikes, answering incidents, deciding when to move.
The internet happens to you
An intern divides by zero and boils 40,000 litres of water. An anime-selfie trend melts every GPU on Earth. Raccoons get into the cable tray. And GARY, the AI, keeps almost becoming sentient.
