   the best data center is the one a community puts together by themselves and for themselves running off their own little micro grid.

   ask me how i know. i provide services self-hosting for myself and my little community at the blistering cost of $4 a month in electricity.

     we have nearly 300 million years left before this rock gets boiled. i'm sure in that amount of time, we'll figure it out going really slow, and we won't accelerate the destruction of life on the planet either.

     but that'll cut into profits and the ability to innovate? too bad. cease to exist

     but that'll make businesses and billionaires who push the world forward obsolete. too bad. cease to exist. die in fact.

     if we can't figure it out slow and egalitarian we don't need to figure it out at all.

     my take is build datacenters in space with an actual plan to deorbit them into the sun when they go bad, or don't build them at all

     @valkyrie Deorbit into sun is effectively impossible. Delta-V is worse than for sending them out of the solar system. It's hard af to get to the sun.
