#CommunitySpotlight: We are still underway towards #ClimateCrisis. Switching to #GreenEnergy alone won't save us.
We recommend everyone to read in Wim Vanderbauwhede's blog https://wimvanderbauwhede.codeberg.page/ and especially this article about frugal computing for a better idea about the problem: https://wimvanderbauwhede.codeberg.page/articles/frugal-computing/
@Codeberg looking at you bitcoind and llm/ai...
"The emissions from production of computing devices far exceed the emissions from operating them, so even if devices are more energy efficient producing more of them will make the emissions problem worse. Therefore we must extend the useful life of our computing devices."
I agree.
In the past i have been given servers that companies no longer want because they have upgraded to something better, yet they are great for my #homelab.
It costs me in terms of electricity, but they are all perfectly functional and run useful services :/
