The festival started with the opening of the exhibition From the Ashes of the Burnout Machine, where @marieverdeil@post.lurk.org and I got to exhibit our Energy Academy! And on the first conference day we started with a round of presentations on data centers - notably from @christinagruber@mastodon.social who spoke about the first large scale data center which is being built in Austria in Kronstorf (which some people got to visit on the last day of the festival!!) 2/7

@servus@social.servus.at Then @l03s@post.lurk.org talked about the big sales pitches behind data centers in the NL, such as using excess heat of data centers to grow peppers, with catchy lines such as “when you think you're working on your computer, you're actually growing peppers 🌶 “ HA! @livliilvil@waag.social then talked about how these data centers are popping up like mushrooms and gave us case studies of 5 different data centers. (He also showed zuckerberg who is showing off building a data center the size of manhattan 🙄) 3/7
