Re: OVH datacenter SBG2 in Strasbourg on fire 🔥

[David Hubbard <dhubbard () dino hostasaurus com>]

Was thinking the exact same thing; they and Digital Ocean seem to compete for the number two spot behind China as a 
malicious traffic source on all my public facing networks.

From the pics, the place looked like it has had quite a few semi-trailer containers added around it, perhaps they were 
running a little too much equipment in the building and it required power / hvac augmenting but fire suppression was 
left as it was...

    In addition to that, even if this is not good for many "honest" people that was using the DC, we need to take it in 
the positive side. In my own case, OVH is probably the cause of 80% of the abuse cases I report, and they never react. 
I'm convinced I'm not the only one, as I read in other ops mailing lists ...

    So, the positive side is a) during some days, we can see an interesting decrease in abuse cases, b) because the so 
many abuse cases, many OVH "honest" customers are often being filtered because they share addresses with the "bad 
guys", so it is an opportunity for them to move to alternative DCs that probably are more careful about "bad guys".

    A good topic for researchers :-)

completly („everything is destroyed“) in a fire 🔥 and the neighboring SBG1/SBG3/SBG4 at least temporary.

        Sad to see of course, but also a little surprising that fire suppression systems didn’t, well, suppress the 
fire.

        Unless they didn’t exist?
