The internet is leaking out.
31Data leak? 🖐️
Data lake? 👈
29Uhh.. Why is there water?
25Could also be mineral oil wicking up the cable, there are the absolute madmen who opt for oil immersion cooling their rig
30From what I know, the mineral oil builds are usually more for novelty than utility. Mineral oil isn’t a particularly good heat conductor, and it’s several times harder to push around than air is, so it’s not great for efficient thermals. It’s usually just done as a sort of “lol look at what I could do” build by people who have more money than sense.

The cable is probably routed outside (likely towards the roof) in a humid environment with the indoors end being at a lower pressure. At night, when the air cools, the humid air would condensate and start dripping out
10Or it's just routed outside and it's normal indoor cable. The sun made the cable brittle and the insulation shattered, leading to leaks

Because the network is flooded.

I worked for a wireless ISP that had this problem with one style of dish we were using and this was the solution the engineers wanted us to take (just stripping the insulation to let water drip out before it got inside anything).
It was dumb because the POE the line was going into would very easily catch fire if water was introduced through the Ethernet cable. We had alternative dishes that we should have been swapping out for, but of course they wanted to save money instead of being safe.
22Tears of frustration traveling across the internet
10So that's why my bandwidth is so low.
8How many drops of that fill my monthly data bucket?
7It's a water cooled network.
6A spark a plumber and It walk into a job...
5The room smells like data now. I can't breathe that stuff in.
2I see the cost cutting efforts have come for drip loops now.
2I've heard of letting the smoke out but this is new to me
