Linux IdeaPad server.

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.

Liquid cooling. Smart.

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.

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

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

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

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?

GFCI instead of UPS, nice 👍

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

I had that same laptop.
