The Alaska Server (serialport.org)

"Alaska" servers. "Alaska Arctic Power".

From a company in Mexico.

I mean, they may be perfectly good servers. Well, if it stood for a decade before failing, it's not just. I'm just having trouble seeing past the glaring naming non sequitur.

Am I having deja vu? I saw this exact same thread a few days ago, with the very same comment about the non sequitur. When I search for it on HN, the search results say the thread was posted "3 days ago", but when I open the thread, it says "3 hours ago".

What's happening?

Any significance to this brand or just showcasing a little known white-box reseller of the past?
