Uh i didn't know you could grow servers. I assumed they were assembled in factories, being machines and all.
Does anybody have experience with this process? Where do you get the seeds from? What soil do they grow in? Should you water them, or not (considering them being machines and all)? Do they need sunlight exposure? And if yes, how much of it?
They grow in high-silicate soil.
Being kernels i assume it's akin to corn propagation
Only the certified organic servers are grown. Usually hydroponics are involved as the soil tends to jam the coolers. Sunlight is only necessary if they're solar powered.
I’m no expert but I heard you can compile the kernels to grow them yourself
My buddy once had an epic hydroponic set up going in his garage. One day the garage door went up for some reason. Guess someone saw it and called the cops. They went full on raid of his garage only to find some of the best fucking vegetables in the city. He said they were actually visibly upset that he only had veggies
Not weed, but I was going to HS prom in the 80’s and my date had a bottle of sparkling grape juice she showed me when we parked. 3 cop cars came out of nowhere, zoomed up and got us out of the car. I was laughing knowing it was non alcoholic. But the look on the cops faces was priceless. Just total disappointment. They all had to look at the bottle just to make sure. Hadn’t thought about that in years until your comment.
It still blows my mind that a plant is illegal. One with medicinal uses, no less. What will they think of next? Banning sunshine?
If black people like the sun too much, probably.
Just ftr: Everyone uses drugs about equally. They just arrest Black people disproportionately for it.
True, but specifically USA targeted black people to fill their prisons with slave labor. Crack to this day is still treated much worse than cocaine despite the insane multiplier having been lowered.
Or if sunshine starts competing with wood pulp for paper manufacturing.
Cops get pissed when their hunches are wrong because they still believe the hunch, they just think you got away with it
That's terrifying. Those stupid cops will kill your baby with a flashbang, shoot your dog and then murder you becauese you were holding the TV remote during their veggie raid.
Even if he really was growing some pot plants, it shouldn't even be a big deal.
"No fruits?????"
I once flipped on all my synthesizers at the same time, sparking a main plug (I cannot reach) so I had to call the building owner. An electrician had to come fix it.
2 weeks later a guy was standing at my door unannounced, wanting to measure everything and check my rooms for a potential weed farm.
I now turn them on in small groups to prevent it happening again.
Worst that's happened to me is that I was detained and questioned by the cops while they investigated my "grow operation". I had some old school grow lights in my kitchen window for my window sill plants and a potted hibiscus outside on my deck.
It's sad that the cops couldn't immediately tell the difference between hibiscus and weed nor were they aware that people can grow indoor house plants under those pink/purple fluorescent lights which for sure wouldn't be strong enough to grow marijuana to begin with.
It's also funny that my neighbor at the time actually was growing weed on his front patio, and they never seemed to notice in the 5 or so years I lived next door.
This is because "The Drug War" is just a device for political persecution of the people that whoever is in power wants to harass or outright remove. It's the Nixon Playbook and it's not just Republicans who use it.
It's more basic than that as well. Cops assume that if you arent hiding something then it's fine. In a very real sense cops are looking for criminals not crimes. If you act like they think criminals do they're going to be a pain in your ass at best and possibly even pressure you into confessing to crimes because "they know a criminal when they see one".
But the inverse is also true. If you break the law while acting like you have every right to do what it is you're doing, you can often get away with it so long as the cops aren't tipped off. Someone owns that bike, some people lose the keys to their locks, if someone isn't hiding that theyre cutting a bike lock most of the time that person owns the bike, and if they confidently say it's their bike, it's not like a cop is going to check or even have a way to check unless somethings off (unless they think you look like a criminal). A potted plant in the front yard is the same.
In what country can you get raided due to high electricity usage?
US
A judge would sign a search warrant because of a power bill? Damn
There might also be a followup examination with a thermal camera of the property, which with a server farm, would also show significantly elevated temperatures.
This is why most of us in the USA live in constant fear that our hobbies of basement aluminum smelting operations will land us on the wrong side of the law enforcement.
While everyone else lives in fear that their basement aluminium smelting hobby will land them in the morgue due to the fumes.
Imagine if growing a plant in your home was legal and the police had to figure out something else to do with their time
Not even a power bill. They have been known to sign warrants for nothing more than an off the shelf infrared scanner/heat scanner showing increased heat from a specific unit in a building compared to the surrounding ones.
Like your house nice and toasty in the winter? That's a no-knock-raid.
Happened not long ago that, for the same reason, police raided a tomography & XRay clinic. Guess what, an MRI needs serious power to work...
If I remember right, one cop brought his rifle in which got sucked into the MRI machine.
Even the warrant was based on a cop lying iirc. The basis boiled down to something like "energy use and tinted windows", which, you know... Medical imaging and patient privacy.
Idiots and asswipes.
And then they hit the emergency shutdown, which is for when people have a plate in their head and they're stuck to the side of the machine. That one causes all the liquid helium to be quenched, thus needing to be refilled.
There is a slower shutdown that doesn't do that, but, you know, cops.
Every detail of that story was worse than the last, and it's 100% on the cops.
Edit: forgot another detail. The gun is probably magnetized now and might be unsuitable/unsafe for use anymore.
A button worth $25,000 on the low end to refill+replace the magnet, a million on the high end if it needs total replacement. It calls to me when I sit with the mri techs. Looking like SpongeBob trying to not push it sitting in the back.
I understand.
Plot Twist: Servers are full of websites about how to grow weed, selling weed and weed-recipes.
What using a lot of electricity is a crime, which lets a judge sign off on a warrant, now?
They can dream up any nonsense and slap it on a warrant, so it’s not really that big of a hindrance to get one. They can get one for a different person at a different address, still come shoot you in your own home and walk away with a paid vacation.
There definitely have been a case where the police, observing things with thermal cameras from a helicopter (for it is in the US where this tale happened), observed some house with a highly suspicious heat signature. ...Some dude's crypto mining operation.
Well, that was definitely indirectly drug related.
In theory it's supposed to be unconstitutional to use FLIR on a house without a warrant to find evidence. In practice though, I'm sure they can easily ruin someone's life for a while based off of "heat signatures". This isn't even mentioning what they could get away with if the Feds are involved. Who even knows anymore?
Can't use it to find evidence or get a warrant, but absolutely do use it to figure out who to target/where to look for evidence.
Herring Vs. United States set the de facto legal basis that allows for this sort of evidence laundering.
