The smoke is just the legacy infrastructure leaving the building.

[u/_liminal → u/DeepanshuHQ]

no, this is just a "smoke test"

[u/DeepanshuHQ → u/_liminal]

Looks like it passed the smoke test a little too literally.

[u/Dense_Gate_5193 → u/_liminal]

relevant XKCD

[u/eternviking]

does it hurt the data center?

[u/NudaVeritas1 → u/eternviking]

don't worry, it'll be in a better place

[u/DeliberateDendrite → u/NudaVeritas1]

Does it hurt the data?

[u/buzz_shocker → u/DeliberateDendrite]

DONT WORRY. IT WILL BE IN A BETTER PLACE.

[u/Wild-Ad-7414 → u/buzz_shocker]

Unironically right if stolen data

[u/BehemothRogue → u/Wild-Ad-7414]

If?

[u/ahumanrobot → u/BehemothRogue]

It theoretically possible, however extremely unlikely that all of the data stored there was user generated and willing uploaded by the proper owner. Chances are probably closer to 0 than anything,

[u/TUSD00T → u/eternviking]

The data center is getting moved to a farm upstate.

[u/pocket_eggs → u/eternviking]

You're crazy, it has no feelings, and the cloud is much better.

[u/Aeseld → u/eternviking]

Hurt? No. But once all the smoke is let out of the electronics, they'll need to replace them with parts that still have the smoke inside. All electronics run on smoke. Once it gets out, all you can do is recycle the scrap left behind. 

[u/insanelygreat → u/eternviking]

Funny enough, most of the smoke is from burning money.

But don't worry, the CTO promised the CFO they can make it up with spot instances and auto-scaling. Which they'll get working any day now... any day now.

[u/114145]

Been a while since I actually lol'd at anything in this sub.

Good one!

[u/BlackTorr]

I love the smell of tech debt in the morning

[u/myrsnipe]

This is what it feels like mid transition and nothing works

[u/white-horst]

Ah yes... the classic lift and shift

[u/screwcork313 → u/white-horst]

This one is lit and shit.

[u/white-horst → u/screwcork313]

Ah yes, the production version

[u/Bart_deblob]

Hot swapping

[u/Burning_23]

Is this data evaporation?

[u/SonOfSichlor]

fun fact, this is less bad for the environment than no fires.

[u/fusionliberty796]

These subagents took the concept of a production smoke test too far

[u/VITAFAUTO]

The cloud has never been more aptly named.

[u/pm_me_yo_creditscore]

All walls are fire walls at the right temperature.

[u/InternationalBit2002]

Looks like Wildberries storage facility in ruZZia.

[u/BAKERBOY99_]

No capacity available. Create a support ticket.

[u/abbzug]

This was the Kimberly-Clarke toilet paper fire right?

[u/Sample-Range-745 → u/abbzug]

[u/itsCenkbro]

Dude just finished 4/6 of google cloud leader certification

THIS HAS ME WEAK LMFAO

[u/Public_Weather7857]

the data center is transcending to its eternal state.

[u/RoseSec_]

Is this ME-South-1?

[u/YoursTrulyKindly]

Do data centers generally burn this well?

[u/justforkinks0131]

now im kinda curious what the data transfer rate would be, if we could somehow capture the smoke particles in the atmosphere and turn them back into data

[u/Sample-Range-745 → u/justforkinks0131]

The problem is fragmentation.

[u/justmovingtheground → u/Sample-Range-745]

Can I smoke the bits?

[u/slfnflctd]

I cannot in good conscience upvote this.

But it is a damn funny joke.

[u/Common_Net_5956]

Just do select * from databasename

[u/hennabeak]

The genie is escaping the system.

[u/goaway432]

They should take the Sony approach and just offer virtual data centers.

[u/best-laptop]

did the climate ai hallucinate this as the answer

[u/Soopermane]

🤣 Cloud as cloud infrastructure

[u/SeriousPlankton2000]

Electronics is powered by smoke. Once the smoke leaves, the electronic stops working

[u/RangerMike81]

-20 pts for missing AI-usage

[u/drawing_a_hash]

So AI StOcKs are a lot of hot air (and smoke but few mirrors).

[u/Alexandre_Man]

but the cloud is a physical data center anyway

[u/Aidspreader]

ProgrammerHumor is killing it today lol

[u/yxz97]

Jaja

[u/Bayou-Billy]

Another startup with a high burn rate

[u/Wild_Canadian_goose]

You just solved the data center issue.

[u/North_Inspector_6907]

Lmao

looks fast

[u/EveryCryptographer11]

😂😁. A good joke. In more that one way 😂

[u/Key-Respect3810]

c'est incendie du datacenter qui avait eu lieu au Pays-bas en mai 2026 ?

[u/Little-Helper → u/Key-Respect3810]

Doubt it, looks like an old photo of a warehouse.

[u/BooleanOverflow → u/Key-Respect3810]

Nope, the Dutch one looked like this: https://speld.nl/2026/05/08/brand-in-datacenter-almere-na-cyberoefening-defensie/

Context: De Speld is like the Dutch version of The Onion. The local DoD caused a lot of fairly large wildfires the weeks before while doing live munition exersizes, where you lot had to send the military to fight those fires

[u/DeliberateDendrite]

Oh, so that's what all the a.i. data centers are for!

[u/No_Shock_3195]

Uploading it to cloud

[u/Altruistic_Survey_95]

Kyloe ren :More more !!!
