@piggo @sa In the right environment it's definitely not a stupid idea. It won't necessarily compete with regular farms, but where you can reduce transport it can definitely work: https://www.weforum.org/stories/2021/04/underground-vegetable-garden-sustainable-farming/ Aquaponics would be fun too (basically turn your bottom sump into a fish tank, fish waste takes the place of fertiliser)

@piggo it's a terrible use of resources and space. a much cheaper rack can give you more space to grow stuff. purpose-built hydroponics trays have much better drainage, which means fewer puddles and less algae. also, you really don't want excessive humidity in a server room. you don't want any leaks there either.

@piggo @sa The yield is fairly small for the total space used.
