  • My feelings are hurt? Lol my job is recession proof

  • We deployed a fuck ton of AI servers to process data from the square kilometer array recently: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_Kilometre_Array

    This doubled the heat output from the datacenter.

    Sometimes it's hard for me to tell whether I'm contributing to something bad or not. It does weigh on my conscience knowing that compute is being used for such nefarious reasons now. I probably wouldn't have ever gotten into computers if I knew this is what would happen.

    I still think that datacenter hate is just a trend fueled by a lot of misinformation. First world problem voiced by people who are bored and have no idea what they are talking about.

    I saw a sticker on a post downtown recently that said "burn down your local datacenter" and shit like this makes me not even want to tell people irl what I do for work anymore.

    Also, yeah, you shouldn't open a conversation by calling someone a dumbass. Lame.

  • 100%. This started with mass adoption of the smartphone in like 2013. Hot take but I think the world would have been better if we never let "normies" on the internet so easily. But you can't really put the genie back in the bottle now

    I miss the days when the only thing my datacenter was used for was the public library, the hospital, and for processing research. But it is what it is.

    At least I get to maintain a node for Internet Archives.

    #notalldatacenters lol

  • I almost completely agree with you. But this is a capitalism problem and not a datacenter problem you do realize?

    Datacenters existed and worked fine before the examples you mentioned existed.

    The other problem is that users don't know what they are doing, and that's why datacenters are required...

  • If your homelab hosted every online resource you utilize, it would have a worse impact on the environment given it probably sits in a room temperature room and would therefore require more power than a room designed to be cold.

    It seems like a drop in the bucket but if everyone hosted their own compute we would have serious environmental issues way before AI even existed.

    You think people should be running a gigabit switch and dell poweredge for example in their own house?

  • I mean, I'm someone who knows how it actually works, talking to a guy who thinks they know how it works.

    I wish I could do that my man.

    Can you elaborate on how my datacenter is polluting the water? We have not topped up the water cooling loop in six years.

    How is every person self hosting the services they love going to bring down your power bill?

    My homelab doesnt run that hot so I dont need holes in the roof during winter. It runs cooler than most gaming PCs. It also barely uses any power.

    Are you using all of the computer power effectively? Does it know how to dynamically allocate resources and move containers around to meet demand?

    I know what I'm doing and my homelab wastes a lot of power idling.

    I am sorry but you are way oversimplifying how this all works.

  • As a datacenter technician, yes, having all the computers in one place is more efficient than it would be having one running in individual homes. The buildings are specifically designed to cool computers. Does your house have massive holes in the roof bringing in outside air during the winter?

    Solar is great. And we use it at the datacenter too. Lol.

  • We care about missing indigenous women, it's actually a huge industry here now. No mention of the men tho.

  • Stop the datacenters

  • If all compute power was self hosted it would be less efficient than running in datacenters.

    This dumbass thinks the power to his house works like magic

  • 4 times more missing indigenous men than women but nobody cares or talks about it.

    You are so confidently incorrect with everything you say that it's pretty infuriating at this point.

  • I was with a narcissistic woman for 10 years who tried to kill me multiple times, stole everything from me including all my friends, my computers, my guitars, kicked me out of my own apartment and I was homeless for a month (and then almkst lost my career for sleeping in my office), told everyone I know that I'm a violent rapist, bunch of other fun stuff that makes me permanently afraid of getting close to women

    I'm a man though so you don't give a shit lol. Literally nobody gave a shit except my parents and sister, to this day

  • OK so you do admit bears are scary. Why are you avoiding them? Lol

    I'm actually on board with what you're saying for once.

    That said I've been abused by a woman before in arguably worse ways than what you describe and the cool part is that nobody cared or believed me

    Maybe all humans are just terrible? That's what I think.

  • What dishonest rhetoric? I might be the only person in this thread who's actually been inside a datacenter lol

    An "LLM datacenter" and "internet infrastructure" are the same fuckin thing. Racks of servers that create heat and suck up power.
