we might not be able to agree on anything else but we can agree that we all hate datacenters

@ana@starlite.rodeo It's the culmination of the Turd on a Wire project. A self-licking ice cream cone, which contains neither cone nor ice cream.

@ana@starlite.rodeo I'm pretty far left and I will never understand this obsession with anti-capitalism. I don't love the capitalism we have in America, but that's because of the corruption and crony capitalism. I can't think of a non capitalist country that's doing well though, and the countries with the highest quality of life are indeed capitalist countries.

@ana@starlite.rodeo I especially love the part where they're using noisy and polluting jet engines to power some of them.

@ana@starlite.rodeo Afraid starlite.rodeo is served by DigitalOcean (and rrier.fr Hetzner). Infrastructure in office closets often leads to more waste (under the weight limitations of the building, cooling difficulties, etc.) and often worse uptime than the next levels of scale (redundancies in peering, power delivery, cooling, 24x7 on-site technicians become worthwhile, etc.). I think they're a good choice for the lifestyles we're actively choosing as a system that works for our service providers, small or big.

@ana@starlite.rodeo Massive structures unprepared for ariel attack by relatively inexpensive UCAV's and FOV drones. I wonder if the investors in these data centres realise they, one day, might be paying for wide area and point defence systems 😟🤷♂️ https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cgk28nj0lrjo

@ana@starlite.rodeo That whole viral tweet about how Captain Planet villains seemed too on the nose but here we fucking are was a little too early for AI but it fits AI better than it does crypto At least with crypto the pollution buys people drugs Here it's all to make awful unsecure tech debt ridden code and tell people to put glue in their pizza sauce

@ana@starlite.rodeo Do you think, at the end of it all, the datacenters can be turned into like hockey rinks, or convention centers or something? Or are they completely useless?

@ana@starlite.rodeo The abandoned datacenter raves in the mid to late 2030s are gonna be fucking unchained though.
