From Rest of What I Know

One of the nice things about living in a modern residential building is that there are lots of shared amenities. For instance one of the nice things about Life in Coquitlam is that we were in a fancy building that had a pool, a family hangout room, a coworking space, a kids play area, outdoor grills, a gym, a steamroom and sauna, and a rooftop lounge with views of the forest and mountains. Okay, so that's ultra-posh and all that and our current building just has a lounge, a movie theatre, a little courtyard area, a gym, and a coworking space. That's pretty good and normal for an older building.

But what I think would be absolutely gangbusters awesome would be if each high-end residential building had a server room! Then not-quite-homelabbers like me could host our servers in there and we wouldn't have to travel all the way down to Fremont just to get Claude to bring up our new stuff like this
