@PeterLG@theblower.au @ERROR_WTF@chaos.social @jodmentum@apobangpo.space @sundogplanets@mastodon.social The moon datacenters would have all the same problems as datacenters in orbit, plus the moon dust, which is extremely abrasive and gets everywhere.
Plus the temperature difference between lunar day and lunar night, which is almost 300°C, and all the material contraction and expansion that causes. Datacenters in orbit would at least spend all their time in sunlight (for the solar power to work).

@ticho@mas.to @PeterLG@theblower.au @jodmentum@apobangpo.space @sundogplanets@mastodon.social Yes this was a bit shortminded by myself. It was just an idea, and @PeterLG@theblower.au conviced me yet, that it is no good idea. The wish was bigger than the reality.
