Before people start pulling out their pitchforks against all DCs, they need to realize that “normal” DCs aren’t inherently bad. Most likely this Lemmy instance is running out of a Datacenter. They let you take advantages of economies of scale with domain specific knowledge around power and cooling. You can buy cloud or colo your stuff there.

What is bad are the AI Datacenters, which are stupidly overkill on size, power and water usage. I’d love to see a site tracking those specifically.
