Lamenting some Wild-West-like workstation / server configuration management.

Quickly losing my sanity listening to the beeps of all the UPSes in here. Half the office is without power, including the server room. And of course it started right as I picked up my keys to go to lunch. All the things have been gracefully shut down but it's getting super warm in the server room without our supplemental AC.
Have you ever had to rent a portable evaporative cooler to help cool down a server room?
Luckily, no. We usually open the door and shut everything down if we're looking at more than an hour of outage. And we have an oscillating fan.
Wouldn't an evaporative cooler bring in a lot of humidity?

Not rent, but they bought one for when the AC unit breaks. And it does happen. They aren't that expensive to buy. Not sure what rentals cost.

At home depot, depending on the model, you can rent for 4-hours ($33), per day ($47), per week ($188)or 4 weeks ($564).

And how many hours and cost does it require for someone to go and do that every time?

Less than dealing with the cost of researching, purchasing, storing, and maintaining one.
Unless you use it many times, which means you have other problems.

Ya it was in the previous building. On days it was 100+ in the shade, AC on in the server room, some pipe or whatever would freeze over somewhere kinda often.

Also, I think the favicon for ML is gone
But are the emojis fixed?
That's all that anyone (except for JB) cares about.
Well I want the Images working
You can upload to imgur yourself and post the image link.
Flameshot has this built in.
Yes, I can post the link for sure just it will not preview that said link.
Wrong. If you post an image link the image will show.
Like this.
I was saying with this one:
