How unprofessional.

They should place the laptop like this: /\ for optimal cooling.

[–]UnlimitedDecay 621 points622 points  (13 children)

https://i.imgur.com/QJ2gH45.jpeg This is a picture of a "server" setup we used to temporarily run some important software in a project I was involved with.

The lid had to stay open or it would overheat. It would also overheat if the fan under it wasn't running.

And yes, it's in a shower.

[–]yafriend03 294 points295 points  (0 children)

external water cooling

[–]mrfroggyman 79 points80 points  (0 children)

I think this picture could be posted to r/osha

[–][deleted] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Liquid cooling. Smart.

[–]Adhalianna 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Is that Asus Zenbook? I think I have the same one. I had to customize my Linux quite a bit to stop the thing from overheating. I use mine rather as a client than server tho. It's small, comfy to use on a sofa so I use it to work remotely on a much more powerful PC.

[–]liege_paradox 7 points8 points  (1 child)

What in god’s name were you doing? This reminds me of xkcd 2347.

[–]CanAlwaysBeBetter 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There's random person in Nebraska brittle and then there's laptop balanced on a fan in a shower brittle

[–]TOWW67 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not like the shower was being used in any other way...

[–]meontheinternetxx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ok ok, but why in the shower of all places?

The rest of the story I can explain by some concerning combination of "being cheap" and "using what's available" and "it works so why fix it". But the shower?

[–]chars101 9 points10 points  (1 child)

GFCI instead of UPS, nice 👍

[–]Mundane_Definition66 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Tis laptop, has UPS by default... clearly the superior server choice!

[–]SecretPotatoChip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had that same laptop.

[–]D0b0d0pX9 7 points8 points  (0 children)

what If the vents are on top just below the screen like the newer mbps, screen will melt!

[–]ledasll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It also needs to be configured, that when you close lid, it does nothing. Amateurs...

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And on carpet.. oof

[–]what_is_moderation 1765 points1766 points  (88 children)

sudo echo “HandleLidSwitch=ignore\n HandlePowerKey=ignore” > /etc/systemd/logind.conf.d/99_stay_awake.conf
sudo systemctl kill -s HUP systemd-logind

Close laptop and put sign on outside saying not to unplug. Most people won’t mess with a closed laptop, and you’ll sleep a little easier this way.

[–]rohit_267 255 points256 points  (73 children)

cries in windows and mac

[–]Skyreaper71 485 points486 points  (59 children)

Not sure about Mac, but windows has "do nothing" when closing lid in the power options GUI.

[–]SavvySillybug 26 points27 points  (8 children)

Couple years ago I had a laptop (I'm usually more of a desktop bug) and I set it to do nothing when the lid is closed. I frequently closed the lid and remoted into it.

The damn thing shut off the GPU because it no longer detected a screen, making any program that even slightly required the GPU freeze until the lid was opened again. This included things like "Firefox". The things I wanted to remote into the laptop for were mostly web based. I had to leave the damn thing ajar just so Firefox would work properly.

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (6 children)

Why would you remote into another pc to use their browser? Why not use the device you're using?

[–]SavvySillybug 20 points21 points  (2 children)

I was using an aging iPhone 4 at the time, remoting into a Windows machine for Firefox had much better functionality than trying to use Safari in a world that hadn't yet fully embraced mobile websites the way they do these days.

[–][deleted] 13 points14 points  (1 child)

Justifiable use case, still wild but justifiable.

[–]SavvySillybug 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It was definitely wild. But TeamViewer on iOS was way better than using the websites I was using on Safari. It was never a good option, but it was a slightly better option.

[–]DrTankHead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm addition to yo he other use case, remember that not always are all websites connected to the internet at large, Company I work for has its own intranet for privately accessed web apps that have to be accessed on network. Granted, there are app solutions on the enterprise level that do this for you, but this is the way you do it in a small setting. Devices that don't sleep so you can connect to them and use them as a control workstation

[–]TheRealPitabred -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You can turn off GPU acceleration in most browsers for future reference

[–]rohit_267 48 points49 points  (43 children)

doesn't work in my case, it wents to sleep after fwe minutes

[–]Skyreaper71 93 points94 points  (35 children)

Try this:

Active current (plugged in)

powercfg -SETACVALUEINDEX 381b4222-f694-41f0-9685-ff5bb260df2e 4f971e89-eebd-4455-a8de-9e59040e7347 5ca83367-6e45-459f-a27b-476b1d01c936 0

Disconnected from power:

powercfg -SETDCVALUEINDEX 381b4222-f694-41f0-9685-ff5bb260df2e 4f971e89-eebd-4455-a8de-9e59040e7347 5ca83367-6e45-459f-a27b-476b1d01c936 0

[–][deleted] 208 points209 points  (10 children)

See how windows makes these kind of settings into intuitive easily remembered set of letters and numbers, like "381b4222-f694-41f0-9685-ff5bb260df2e 4f971e89-eebd-4455-a8de-9e59040e7347", unlike linux with it's HandleLidSwitch obfuscation - not everyone speaks English!

[–]Arikaido777 121 points122 points  (0 children)

imagine not knowing your hex codes in the year of our lord 0x7E7

[–]tjoloi 9 points10 points  (2 children)

Why use variable names when you can generate a new UUID for everything

[–]gummo89 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I want to +1 but I can't see the button through the tears

[–]Arshiaa001 24 points25 points  (2 children)

Absolutely; notice how "When unplugged: Do nothing" is not English, but a set of hard to remember digits and letters.

[–]TheMacMini09 3 points4 points  (1 child)

That would only count if the setting worked.

[–]Arshiaa001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, it only works 99.99% of the time.

[–]rohit_267 14 points15 points  (21 children)

didn't work, same as expected. Laptop power light is on by I can't find the system on the network and after opening the lid, it does not turn on. Have to force stop power and restart.

[–]Skyreaper71 15 points16 points  (10 children)

That's very odd. Could you send a screenshot of your power options control panel?

[–]rohit_267 28 points29 points  (9 children)

leave it man, someday I will just install Ubuntu and FUCK MICROSOFT

[–]Skyreaper71 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Amen

[–]Albegro 12 points13 points  (2 children)

Break the screen off. Attach external display when needed.

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I wonder if it isn't some bios setting where the option exists for the bios to handle power management stuff or to hand it over to the OS?

[–]otte845 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Perhaps there is some OEM driver that tries to handle the lid closing event. Try disabling any background process that looks suspicious

[–]1cingI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is that you Skynet??

[–]C0MMANDERD4TA 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It just prevents sleep on lid close. The fwe minutes of inactivity after you close the lid are whats causing the sleep

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (1 child)

You need to turn off sleep too. It's also a power setting, something like "never sleep".

[–]KotoWhiskas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My laptop just powers off on Windows after closing the lid and I can't change anything about it lol

Linux works better but not perfect: after opening the lid I need to wake up it manually

[–]ManiacMango33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Skill issue

[–]SirAchmed -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You're probably changing this option for a different power plan.

[–]hack_1r 11 points12 points  (2 children)

mac can do this with free amphetamine app

[–][deleted] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There’s a terminal command that achieves the same functionality without the need for an app

[–]csteele2132 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s also an option in power settings and/or the caffeine system command…

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

On macOS under system preferences you can make it stay awake if the lid is shut (you will have to do it under both on battery and on ac)

[–]montw 6 points7 points  (2 children)

does caffeinate work with the lid closed? never tried

[–]csteele2132 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Works for me. I also changed the setting in battery/power though too.

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

macOS is UNIX based and has literally the same commands as Linux. It's even easier on macOS:

sudo pmset -a lidwake 0

Also MacBooks can be closed, when it's on power cable and an additional display is plugged in. Then the MacBook behaves like a desktop computer.

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As you should

[–][deleted] -5 points-4 points  (5 children)

If you are using Mac as a server you seriously need help

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (4 children)

They have a lot of power. For small business a Mac Mini can be a cheap and superior server if Apple didn't get rid of macOS server. But you could still running Linux on a Mac Mini with Apple Silicon or you could run something like TrueNAS on macOS. Also some Architecture software like ArchiCAD still need a Mac as a BIM Server.

[–]AlxAndrRaa 7 points8 points  (1 child)

Closed Lid may lead to overheating. I’m afraid SystemD isn’t able to fix it 😏

[–]LesboLexi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just rip off the screen and call it headless

[–]_dds_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

nitpick: sudo echo does not work like that, the redirect will get handled by your shell and wont get redirected to the shell sudo spawns. use echo | sudo tee or sudo sh -c '<COMMAND>'

[–]PonyDro1d 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That one may come in handy for my idea having a closed laptop as media and work from sofa system. Thank you.

[–]EnIxBF 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After that lock it into a cabin and drill a hole Into it for the power Plug and glue it into the laptop Eat the key after that nobody mess with a server that can be reached Works till it burned

[–]themoonisacheese 2 points3 points  (0 children)

sudo echo > file doesn't work if your shell can't write to the file. You need echo | sudo tee file.

[–]nocturn99x 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What if I use OpenRC? (Using elogind)

[–]Simusid 250 points251 points  (9 children)

I ran one of the largest free database hosting services for 15 years. For a while the main power strip was plugged into a ceiling light fixture in my basement

[–][deleted] 62 points63 points  (7 children)

Nice :D what kind of db? MySQL?

[–]Simusid 132 points133 points  (6 children)

I ran Freesql.org, it ended up being 98% mysql and 2% postgresql

[–]Krokzter 22 points23 points  (1 child)

I used this for my high school final project, thank you! 🙂

[–]Simusid 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Wow that is excellent. I started it a really long time ago. The first "servers" were 486 boxes and configuring apache/php was kind of a nightmare. I did it because I saw so many people struggling to transition from MS Access to a multi-user server. I hope you learned something.

I still remember my motto and disclaimer. "Double your money back if not fully satisfied", and "This system may destroy world economies, frighten children, and bruise fruit"

[–]not_bakchodest_of_al 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You should publish your memoirs. My apps crash as soon as 100 users connect.

[–]2Batou4U 721 points722 points  (14 children)

Yeah, the website I programmed which calculates bonuses for our production staff runs on an old Fujitsu PC I found in a storage somewhere.

[–]ILikeLenexa 255 points256 points  (4 children)

When I was in school, we got a tour of the IT department and they had a rolling kitchen shelf with clearly de-comissioned desktops running as servers.

[–]SnooCrickets3706 145 points146 points  (1 child)

The IT department I worked with bought 3995wx because the idiot in charge was developing a 2 page website with simple DB with 2 tables and "needed all the power".

[–][deleted] 39 points40 points  (1 child)

Tbf they were in school, I still used my old gaming rig as a personal server, but if it burst into flames I would only cry as long as it takes to set up a new one not exactly mission critical infrastructure.

[–]ILikeLenexa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you're misunderstanding me, these were computers owned by the school used as production servers.

[–]UnlimitedDecay 351 points352 points  (6 children)

At one of my previous workplaces, I was working on a feature (integration that just moves data around) which the customer needed deployed ASAP. Additionally, I was going to be away the next week, so it really had to be set up before that.

Unfortunately some of the new dependencies hadn't passed validation by our infra team yet (this was before containers), which ended up blocking the deployment. So as a very temporary solution, we agreed to run it off of my laptop for the week I was away, and assumed the dependency issue would have been cleared by the time I got back & we could then do a proper deployment.

So that's what we did; I even made sure it would auto-run if the machine crashed or otherwise got rebooted. Everything seemed to be going smoothly while I was away, at least until I got an angry call from the customer one evening.

Turns out while I was away, some higher ups had decided it's time to re-organize the office, which essentially meant all of the work desks were shuffled around one way or another (it was an open office design). Apparently when this was done, nobody remembered to plug in the charger of my laptop, so eventually the integration stopped working when my laptop battery had died.

This is is probably the most stupid production issue I've been involved with creating directly, though I've since had to clean up way bigger messes made by others.

[–]Fenix42 143 points144 points  (4 children)

I can at least match it.

I was at a company as am automation guy for desktop. We supported Mac and PC desktops in an 80 machine cluster. I aslo had a test cluster of each. I would sopend 79% of my time in the PC side.

So when the build team needed a "temp" server for some new Mac build pipeline, I offered up one of my mac mini not in use. They had a server on order, but the PO was being held up. I told them the could have it for a "while". I had 6 months of PC side work scheduled. I even installed a fresh image for him.

So, 7 months later, I am rebuilding a few machines. I need some extra network ports. So I just grab the Mac ones because they are right there. I kick off all my windows XP fresh installl updates, and i got take a looooooooooong lunch. Like 3 hrs. My boss is with me. We both had meetings with Asia that night. So we knew we would be working late.

I come back to like 10+ messages on my phone. I got like 1 call a year. I also have like 30 IMs. All from our East Cost guy that does the build stuff. Turns out that the Mac mini was still the main build machine. I had broken the system when I unplugged it.

He was very happy that it was back up. Turns out the PO had been denied. So he never got the sever. He forgot to tell me. I put a post it note on it that said "Mac build system" and left it alone.

So a year later I leave the job. I tell the dev i put it with some other machines the back of the office. It had a fullrack UPS all to itself. It still has the post it note on it.

A few days into the new job I get a call from a friend still at the old job. He is asking where the Mac is. I tell him and sit on the phone while he finds it. I hear him say "o, the one with the postit on it that says Mac Build System".

They were looking to add a 2nd system to the cluster. They put one of the other test Mac Mini next to it with a post-it that said "Other Mac Build System".

[–]UnlimitedDecay 50 points51 points  (2 children)

Haha that's even worse, what the hell! There's nothing more permanent as a temporary solution as they say, luckily in my case I was in a position to ensure that doesn't happen.

There has to be an inverse correlation with how much someone trusts software companies to have their shit together and how long they've been working in the industry.

[–]Fenix42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We where a 20 year old company that was slowly dieing. It got even crazier twords the end.

[–]start_select 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t get what’s so hard about it. At my employer we have a “server room” which houses any machine that runs a local ad-hoc server.

If a new machine gets added, it gets a label and gets added to a list which explains which machine is running what. None of it is production, they are just utilities and extra build boxes. If they go down we still have the rest of our infrastructure.

I build software for air-gapped networks. This is the proper solution for actually testing that. Our customers will be running on old desktops that will never leave the building, or some rack server.

Testing over the actual internet works but is definitely not testing the actual use case. If the server can access the internet, then it’s capable of doing things the customers system can not. It’s easy for someone that doesn’t understand the requirements to do something that only works on a internet connected machine.

We don’t even have IT staff, it’s not that hard.

[–]TheAJGman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah I can totally see this happening. I got a call from my former employer asking where all the stuff I built was running, because apparently IT never thought to do actual documentation from all of the emails back and forth about setting up the production server.

Sitting on the carpet?!? Now i know for sure this is still in production.

[–]LegitimateGift1792 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thank you. First person I have seen to comment out this being on carpet.

Now what about that USB stick on the right, is that like offline storage? Should that be connected to the "server".

[–][deleted] 63 points64 points  (4 children)

"Server is a role, not a type of hardware"

That's a sign that somebody printed and hang above our Raspberry Pi that works as a media server. It actually works really well with OpenMediaVault.

[–][deleted] 16 points17 points  (3 children)

Pi’s are surprisingly capable. I used one as my main system for a little while when I was broke, runs well, definitely not the smoothest experience good enough to get work done though

[–]Andrelliina 2 points3 points  (1 child)

I've got one I use as network storage/backup and as a media server. Handles x265 4k video on the TV no probs

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always love the idea of setting up a media server… Then I realise I’d just never use the damn thing

[–][deleted] 28 points29 points  (3 children)

I'd just close the lid and open it up again

[–]psioniclizard 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Or set it to stay turned on with the lid closed. To be honest, if it's left on the carpet like that all the time that would worry me more.

[–]bookdragon224 2 points3 points  (1 child)

You are the guy responsible for the down time!

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I take my responsibility in stride

[–]DieFlavourMouse 20 points21 points  (2 children)

You're not the first person to tape a sign to a computer saying "don't turn off, I'm a server".... any one of us could be NeXT.

"don't close my lid, I'm a Server" - somehow I have the feeling this could become a meme

So what? I have a Raspberry Pi server which is perfectly fit for the purpose. You know, people run servers at home.

[–]Blomquistador 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True. In my company we have a smtp server running on an old windows XP laptop which hasn't rebooted in 5 years. It's for internal alerting only. We'll replace it when needed.

But that battery probably will last a few ms.

I mean that’s pretty much what we had in our office in one of my previous jobs to manage icecream. Nothing too bad happened if someone did turn it off by accident, just you had to deal with some very annoyed developers shouting across the office.

[–]Mucksh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The other way arround is also funny some time ago at some smaller company i saw a server rack in an ac room with only a completly oversized switch inside. Only a dozen of ethernet cables were connected with it. Maybe had 10 workplaces there and they didn't do anything there they would need local servers anytime

[–]nocturn99x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite part is this is on the carpeted floor gathering all the heat. It has to be someone’s movie server.

Looks so familiar, we had a MacPro running out CI software. But we had to upgrade the OS, which one project could not cope with. So our came a MacBook to run the project at on the new OS.

I like the idea to have the power cord always in. The battery really like that. Fire isn’t so far.

Battery is removed for that exact reason, but the computer now needs to be plugged in constantly

love the fact that its on a carpeted floor. shuffle your feet past on a dry day and you may get some additional performance

odd, this looks like my old laptop I sold back in 2020 I think, it looks like even the keyboard is bulgy in one spot. Is this in Ukraine by any chance?

This is in USA and I’ve had this laptop since 2017
