@jerrej@mastodon.social @tante@tldr.nettime.org @hzulla@infosec.exchange In sane datacentres, there is a closed loop. Even for sanely built datacentres, though, there is a thing called emergency cooling, where municipal freshwater is fed into the cooling system and then afterwards dumped into the municipal waste water. This is not how you should build the normal cooling system, but these companies are just utter bastards, so they use permanent emergency cooling and evaporate instead of dump.
