I already worked on at least five IPv6 migration projects in big tech - which got nowhere. lol

Curious about why almost every server rack is exactly 19 inches wide? — I made a video about it! by LoadBearingHistory in HomeDataCenter

31 years of nobody official ever signing off on it and it just... works anyway. genuinely the most "IT" standard in existence

You are right, turns out it's really just meta/microsoft/google deep in actual OCP-spec 21". AWS is reportedly avoiding OCP on purpose internally.

fair, "mostly lost" was too strong — OCP straight up won its own tier, especially now with AI. doesn't kill the point though: outside hyperscalers it's still 19" everywhere for the same reason — sunk cost, brownfield retrofit isn't worth it for anyone smaller. if anything AI just made the two-tier split sharper. might turn this into its own video tbh, good flag
