"Data centers and their associated transmission networks have become a primary driver of global energy consumption. At present, this accounts for 3% of global consumption, emitting as much CO2 as Brazil."
"A rack of traditional servers in a data center runs on 7 kilowatts of electricity, while a rack of AI servers with increased processing power uses 30-100 kilowatts."
😳 Wow that's a lot more energy.

gosh i wish mozilla's browser, "fire fox" still existed. remember that thing? back in the early '10s it filled me with such optimism. tragic that it then died suddenly, and so young. at least we can reminisce about it and experience only fondness, happy memories, and hope for future projects
Thesis: everything always happens
Antithesis: nothing ever happens
Synthesis: There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen.
I'm a straight cis dude. I have never felt any gender dysphoria or even thought about trans people at all until I made a couple of friends who happened to be transgender.
I was exposed to a few more trans people through my friends, and a few more on Twitter. Then I moved to Masto and was exposed to many, many more transgender voices.
Not once in my more than 5 decades of this mid existence have I ever seen any trans person talking about how they regretted it, or was having second thoughts. To the contrary, all I have *ever* seen is joy. Folks who are happy that they can be themselves and feel comfortable in their own bodies.
Republicans are trying their damndest to marginalize and erase trans folks, because they're terrified that people like me, who otherwise never gave it a second thought, might be exposed to the joy and realize that trans people are just people. Republicans want to portray anyone who's not cis, straight, and white as some kind of deviant. Don't fucking let them. They're wrong.

I'm looking for a student for an M.Sc. in Computer Science at the University of Calgary. *This is a fully funded position.*
The project: building tools to help understand how "retro" video games were made under amazingly constrained circumstances. While it's a CS position, this is interdisciplinary work done in collaboration with archaeologists and others.
Needs: strong coding skills, good writing abilities. Ideally: low-level, reverse engineering, or compiler experience.
*buying two USB-C cables on amazon* I have literally no idea if these cables will work for the purpose I'm purchasing them for
in the same way hotdogs could be considered sandwiches, would you say floppy disks are cartridges?
Anyone using a RPI 4 with OpenBSD?
I have questions about hardware support
- does wifi work well?
- can you use full disk encryption?
- is it working well?
I have a secret project ongoing 
I just want to say, Asahi Linux is great. I bought an M1 Macbook recently because I'm working on a new application that needs to work on macOS; the code that I'm forking has ports for Linux, Windows, MacOS and android, and the BSDs also patch it.
Well, I decided to install Asahi Linux (the Fedora version) on it, dual-booting with MacOS. I have to say;
Asahi Linux has the *easiest*, most simple installer i've ever used for a Linux distro installer.
Solid project.
