When it comes to web optimization and "getting things just right" - you're never entirely done. But, when it comes to optimizing our website's carbon footprint, we're done for now!
We are happy to report that our homepage is cleaner than 94% of webpages globally! That means an A+ from Website Carbon, an A from Ecograder, and scores of 90+ from PageSpeed Insights!
... Now, onto optimizing our other websites. 😉🌎

The #BBC World Service - #DigitalPlanet made a podcast episode about:
"How green is our data?"
https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/w3ct1lsx
"Is data and our use of the internet adding to climate change? Can we make better use of excess heat from data centres to reduce their environmental impact? Can technology help?"

What i found at the end of this thread is a statement from #OVH about wind-energy:

Would be interesting to know how far they are, because most of the mastodon instances are using OVH servers right now. (15,34%)

For those who are interested in #greenwebhosting, this could be another adress to host your fediverse instance.
The "location in #Iceland provides nearly unlimited natural energy resources", "geothermal and hydropower".

"The latest research predicts that by 2020, the web hosting industry will produce more pollution than the airline industry."

let's talk about #greenwebhosting
#greencomputing #greendatacenter
have you ever transformed or built a sustainable digital infrastructure that runs on #renewableenergy or used energy-efficient hardware? how does it look in detail and how can someone transform to it?
Not only is it still terribly frustrating to investigate the energy sources used by websites/servers, but also the information available about #GreenWebhosting on the internet is either old or extremely fragmentary.
Just look at the Wikipedia article which cites an article from 2008 (!!!) that predicted data centers' environmental footprint to eventually outpace that of aviation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_hosting
