June 2023: a Google data center in France floods and they call it a “water intrusion event”

@0xabad1dea "Impacted by Objects" is either my next band name, or doctors notes from the colorectal unit in the hospital.

@HeNeArXn @0xabad1dea FWIW we’re currently at “full recovery is still expected to be many hours away”

[0xabad1dea@infosec.exchange]

@HeNeArXn presumably the missile was not aimed directly at the data center but at something nearby. If your neighbor is exploded off the face of the earth by a missile and your power generator is taken out by the kinetic impact, you have been struck by a missile, you’re just luckily alive enough to complain about it

@0xabad1dea And I thought my government was acting cringe by calling gas leak explosion "a pop".

[capnthommo@c.im]

@0xabad1dea so I guess if one burns down it'd be "influenced by a temperature event"

[henearxn@chaos.social]

@0xabad1dea or its fragments from an intercepted missile or drone, or from something fired at an incoming missile, or bits from a plane, or ... and they might not even know yet what exactly it was. Hence, "objects".

@0xabad1dea

Maybe they can knock out a few other data centres whilst they are about it. I'm open to suggestions.

[imipram1ne@mastodon.social]

@darkling nobody to say it can't be both

Climatecrisis-deniers and war-enablers go hand in hand ?

[nocturnalnessa@infosec.exchange]

@0xabad1dea theres a kind of psych major who literally nerds out about this kind of thing. like "if you say x it creates y impression because z psychology reason" and i respect that but like sometimes....sometimes

[greem@cyberplace.social]

@0xabad1dea Sending good vibes your way. I hope you feel better soon.

@0xabad1dea NARRATIVE FLOODGATES ACTIVATED

[via4@mastodon.social]

@0xabad1dea This is a characteristic trait of authoritarian systems, which corporations inherently are. In Russian propagandists media they used to call explosion a "clap." No kidding, "a gas clap in residential building" has become a meme

@0xabad1dea irl dos attack

[shved@mastodon.social]

@0xabad1dea Sooo.. you had a calendar synchronization anomaly due to internal firmware instability? xD

[mkj@social.mkj.earth]

@capnthommo I'm pretty sure that would be a finitely time-limited exothermic reaction event.

@0xabad1dea

[daveflater@infosec.exchange]

@0xabad1dea tryin to get the insurance to pay.

[tml@mementomori.social]

@0xabad1dea Fun, but do we actually know that the missile hit the data centre? A missile might have hit a neighbouring building, and the explosion then caused some large bits of concrete or whatever to hit the data centre.

[mbpaz@mas.to]

@DaveFlater @0xabad1dea insurance generally excludes acts of war from coverage.
Fallout from a ballistic missile seems quite an act of war and I doubt "hey there was no war declaration" is enough to get a payment from them.

@th3rdsergeevich @0xabad1dea "leaking some droplets and plasticine-like threads" (speaking about a fucking fully loaded tanker sunk, leaking heavy oil into the Atlantic)
