As I’ve said before: HOW ABOUT NO

This crusade against bad datacenters - poor cooling, poorly located, wasteful - is mislabeled as a crusade against ALL datacenters.
Mislabeled? Yeah. I’ve worked with personal info - the kind you don’t want leaked (PII) - for years. You need that shit secure. You only do that with a very secure building designed to hold and protect all that storage for all those databases - healthcare info, courts docs, land title surveys, buried pipe maps, your bank account, 3tb of Epstein files - so it’s stored, secured and accessible only where required.
That’s a datacenter. We need that one. But, like some others, this crusade will target those too. It’s a classic baby-with-bathwater issue.
And maybe that’s what they want: they’re okay with crunchies killing 80 years of climate records and the Epstein files because both hurt the same dirtbags.
Maybe we keep those datacenters around? Maybe we notice the difference between that one and whatever the hell musk has done? Maybe we protest the musk one as a Toxic Datacenter or part of Datacenter Blight instead of saying they’re all evil?
Nuance is so hard these days, but just think a sec.

That’s a little simplistic and forgets one thing: natural selection only cares until you’re old enough to procreate, biologically, and there’s nothing it will do for humanity after that age.
So yeah, natural selection is totally cool with you dying of a splinter at 16.
Sorry to bust your eugenics bubble.

The server part seems to be container-only. That’s a shame if you’re aware of iso27002 or SLSA.

What? Oh, wait. My doorbell is ringing.

Maybe security camera.
That’s the one you want to keep off the Internet the MOST!
Is it easy to isolate a device to LAN only via router?
The easiest thing is to have the InternetOfTrash devices with no configured route; just broadcast and that’s it.

Instead of Google Maps, Lions Bay SAR provided a list of free and paid hiking apps it recommends, including AllTrails, Granite, and Gaia GPS—which can be used as part of the process of properly researching and preparing for a hike or a trip into the backcountry

It’s a joke on the headline phrasing
Yeah, but cut him some slack. SO MANY people wouldn’t get that it’s “a French Cloud-provider”
These are the people who put an S on ‘electronic mail’ and two Xes in ‘maxing’.

This is gonna go really well when people find out the only way to safely store health and justice data is in a specialized building.

Honestly - and flame away - I hate the name. I hate saying it. It’s the ‘moist’ of borrowed words. Leeeeeeeebr. And I’m a Canadian who did French up to university-level conversational “explain something for 20 min” French (from a gorgeous caribbean dynamo teacher, but I justif–uh, digress) so I know how to say the word and what it means.
And I still hate it. I’m a horrible person – even before I continued French study because the prof was so engaging and energetic and brightened every room and every day and made French interesting just on inclusion.
Yeah. They change their own titles, but I worry it’s still the same – they just remembered the ‘human’ part of ‘human resources’ is merely an adjective.
