Wifey was sitting in the garden with her iPad yesterday when it protested it was too hot and switched itself off. Probably saved what it was doing, too.
Why don't servers do that?
Message from OOF server: I'm going offline in a minute cause it's too fickin hot. I'll be back when it cools down a bit. Sorry if any sad bastards have to live in the real world for an hour or so.

It will. However, to keep heat down, all the other physical compute servers are already powered down, so the VM has nowhere to move to...

...which means when it reaches its thermal threshold, OOF (and the other shite running on the physical server) will just go offline. Which leads to grumpy people .  Last time we had an unexpected extended outage was when the garage went, and people moaned at me

Well....it was a rather long outage. People had to visit jag and merc and ford forums. It was quite traumatic.

Just been out to empty boot of car, as CBA earlier.  Blimey, the metal stuff like axle stands and jack were uncomfortable to carry, must be bloomin' hot in there

Mrs was doing some school work out in the garden, but came in cause it was too hot. Of course, she left hers pens, etc., outside. When I went out the biros had leaked everywhere, the ink was as thin as water.

[Mr.OmegaMan]

28c according to the Omega, Nice and chilly inside the car though 

[STEMO]

Right...we're obviously trying to outdo each other here.
So.......my goldfish boiled dry, I cooked a chicken on the flags outside and my next doors neighbours garage roof caug............... No, I'll leave that one.

- I normally have the opposite trouble with biros, where all the ink congeals on the ball, then smudges all over the page

The Swede reckoned it was 30-31c going down the M40 this arvo.

However I suspect it's a lying bar steward. BBC reckoned 27-28, which felt right. AC was pretty cool, but not as good as the omega after it's re-gas so I think it may be due a service.

[Doctor Gollum]

Still 24 here according to Metar

[Mister Rog]

There's a lot a sad bastards here who seem to spend all their time looking at temperature guages and thermometers 

Oh well better than telly or sex I suppose 

.

[Varche]

30 that sounds nice and cool 😎

[Rods2]

Very enjoyable day, my thermometer read a maximum of 35degC but it does over-read by about 5degC with summer sun, where it catches the early morning sun. Was down to a warm 25degC when I checked at 7pm.

Did I see 45c on a recent weather forecast for your part of the world Varche?! I thought temps like that were reserved for bits of the middle east. 

[Doctor Gollum]

A refreshing 17 now...
