Local fire Department commented on their facebook page [1] that dust from construction triggered the fire suppression system and not a fire. [1] https://www.facebook.com/LakeJoFD
The next worst thing for electronics after fire - water! Or are there non liquid fire suppression systems such as pulling all the oxygen out of a room (if there aren't any people in it)?

Yes. One place I worked (not a tech company, but with tons of electronics), when the fire alarms went off we had xx seconds (I don't remember the number) to get out of the building before something called Intergen was vented into the room to somehow suck all of the oxygen out, and if we were still inside we'd be dead.
It must be pretty serious stuff, because we'd have evacuation drills twice a year.

Yes water isn't typically used in datacenters, halon gas can be used for example. But the noise of the nozzles releasing the gas can actually damage disk drives.
From what I understand, using water/dry pipe isn't unheard of. Some prefer it over Halon - https://blog.equinix.com/blog/2014/03/26/we-must-protect-thi... .

#284chan's pol forum is all over it. Apparently it's a "happening" worthy of hundreds of comments
this is what the merry band of racist edgelords have fixated on?
Seems like it would be more /g/'s thing.

#29Bullish on bitcoin b/c of its highly resilient characteristics. Might not process as many transactions per second and it might pollute more than the average bank, but sure as hell dont need to worry about a natural disaster or freak incident single handedly taking out the entire network.
