This might sound funny, but I swear the four walls help. When I lived right off the water a dehumidifier helped with the high-humidity. Black-out curtains help keep the sun out, but they also keep the sun out if you catch me. Outside of that, I've heard ventilation. Don't forget to drink water, keep your electrolytes solid and take care of yourself.
I would expect black-out curtains to make the room hotter. Black absorbs the full spectrum of sunlight shining in and and the material heats up. I would think white curtains would reflect the visible light back out through the window and keep the room cooler.

Black-out typically means it just doesn't let any light into the room, not necessarily the actual color of the curtain

My blackout curtains have white on the other side I am not sure much about the science behind them but they make it cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. They're quite dark on the inside. I got what I paid for. I don't think all curtains are made equally.

Black out curtains are not always black. I have black out curtains that are backed white.

Well, I'm back online after a 4 hour blackout due to the heat in Brooklyn.
I found out that my ISP Optimum had issues with their equipment in Brooklyn due to the heat and humidity set on by this week's weather.
Now I'm worried that things will be really harsh on my equipment in the living room.
Any suggestions on how to keep the modem/router from overheating and causing problems?
Obligatory fuck Optimum/Altice/Shittylink

Simplest thing is to drag your fridge over to wherever your equipment may be and leave the door open at all times.
Seriously though, most consumer gear can handle up to 130F at a minimum. If you're worried, just point a fan at it.

I had this issue and just used a small fan on my router etc.

Obligatory Technology Connections video about dehumidifiers. Hint: You might be using it wrong.
When I lived right off the water
Except that one. That one was probably being used right. But, [ gestures to everyone else ] y'all might learn something from the video and save yourselves a ton of money in otherwise wasted energy.

@SeanMallonOfficial Odd, most data centers have air conditioning. -

TIL. The ones I've seen were all black.

My first set I made myself. The "blackout" backing was white. The curtains themselves were blue with horses I think (I was like 8). I later used the backing with some Star Wars sheets to make new curtains.
