@clacke There are good reason to not do long simmers of anything acidic in cast iron pots, you leech out a bit too much iron to be healthy that way IIRC.
@GossiTheDog Regional hospital update: Supply of consumables solved, still struggling without the discharge IT system which is still down.
Especially complicated for patients that get discharged to other long term care, 8-10 phone calls per patient instead of some form entries and maybe one or two phone calls.
There is also fear, but nothing confirmed yet, that the patient records in this system might be in the wrong hands.
@amanda SE3 is only 2-4 times as bad on average, which is still 10% of fossil gas (400-500 g/kWh is where you get same emissions from manufacture and use somewhere between 3-10 years). @pettter
@amanda Having recently done the numbers for servers for scientific computing, the manufacturing seems to be 1-2 tons of CO2e. For running computers in SE2, assuming the local power mix emissions (11-15 g/kWh), the manufacturing emissions totally dominates for both 5 and 10 year lifespans even when running them flat out 24/7.
Money is a different matter, where 5-7 years lifetime is more reasonable since you get 1-2 orders of magnitude more compute per kW.
Hey, @pettter - I saw a great presentation on exploiting LLM services. Is stuff like this something that you or some of your fellow AI researchers are interested in?
@samuel Ja, drygheten i att installera och underhålla det har varit en stopper här också, driver lite på jobbet och det är inte särskilt kul. @doktorzjivago
FWIW, we (Academic Computer Club in Umeå) has a long tradition of supporting free software and other open non-profit projects for the public good.
For instance a free software mirror that does >50TB/day of traffic, hosting IRC servers for libera.chat and OFTC, hosting some servers for Debian, OSM, and LineageOS.
We also invite free software projects of all languages to this server:
Sysadmin and caturday enthusiast. Hiker & biker.Work sysadm: NeIC NT1, HPC2NHobby sysadm: ACCI thought running and ftp server (well, OK, technically it is https these days) with its own AS was so much fun as a hobby, I started doing it for work too.Admin for this server.
