They're threatening us with a good time again
@pikesley this feels like hoverboard levels of promising. Too good to be true.

@pikesley
Can’t fucking wait. -
@pikesley "tiny, cheap drones in the sky disabling massive, critical data centers on the ground" uhh... guys... this is inherently asymmetrical warfare - we don't need to leave it to the nation states. The obvious sequel to "How to blow up a pipeline" is now "How to disable an AI datacenter." Especially since they're using all our water for their evaporative cooling on the rooftop - disable the cooling and the whole thing either shuts down or burns up
@sleepfreeparent @pikesley If you want to strike for maximum effect then a chip fabrication building would be perfect. -they cost in excess of a billion dollars and the planet depends on chips made by these buildings.
Point here is that insane levels of reliance of ultra complex chips that only a few places and businesses can manufacture is super precarious.

@pikesley they’ll be doing the world a favour, some of the horrific cabling work I’ve seen over the years.

@NicelyManifest @sleepfreeparent that's the next stage, when China siezes Taiwan

@pikesley Port Washington's Mayor, here in Wisconsin, isn't worried: “I don’t worry about the safety or security of the city of Port Washington, because Data Centers, they get hit internally (their computers) not externally.“

@glent @Hierarchy @pikesley Geothermal wells can sink ridiculous amounts of heat. Space is at a much greater premium. Carving a chunk out of the interior of a mountain is difficult.
Power feeds and network links are probably easier targets.

@pikesley finally, victimless war

@pikesley I'm unsurprisingly comfortable with the loss of a few data centres in the name of war
I'd accept 1,000 data centre losses over 1 school or hospital any day of the week

@pikesley I wonder if there are any datacenters underground?
@Hierarchy @pikesley I work for a university in the Midwest US and around 15 years ago it built a datacenter capable of withstanding an F5 tornado. I think it's partly underground. This was back when "cloud computing" was the buzzword of choice.

@NicelyManifest @pikesley my point was just that the facilities slurping up water from those already suffering water shortage, while also being used to build a fascist surveillance state, are highly vulnerable to community uprising

I’ve been looking for a 4-leaf clover my entire life. Actively looking whenever I’m in a garden… and never found one.
Until today.
In a countryside train station, before hopping on a train to Como with my family.
I told my child and she immediately found another. She was so proud: “It’s my first 4-leaf clover!” (I immortalized the moment with my phone - the photo shows her hand picking it).
I’ll be pressing them in a book later today. Such precious keepsakes 💚

I always thought that was black&white speckles, but then I was used to 405-line monochrome TV for a very long time.

@feorag Strange! Is there a bright, shining yellow orb in the sky as well?
-
@feorag The colour of a television tuned to a dead channel.
... although even that's outdated now...

Unprecedented scenes at Hampden as sky turns a weird colour.

@holytoastr Tina was clearly made for #Bleptember.

Il melo nano invasato l'anno scorso non ce l'ha fatta. Quest'anno ci riproviamo col pesco nano. 🤞
