> You really need to differentiate between traditional data centers and AI data centers
That's a distinction without a difference. AWS is just as socially harmful as "AI" or crypto-mining. More relevant dichotomies might be;
* hyperscale vs. human-scale (a PC is a closet running @yunohost or #LibreServer is kind of a datacentre). * corporate-owned vs. co-op owned/ community-owned
* overseas-owned vs. locally-owned
* 100% renewably-powered vs fossil-powered
* etc
@mathiasx just spit-balling here ...
#Erlang all the things!
#Unikernel all the things!
And I do wonder how #Yunohost or #Nix / #Guix or #FreedomBox / #LibreServer / #Sandstorm handle all this ...
@jorgesanz thanks for the link, it is a good usable non-technical take. Only I didn't understand the bent towards rootless containers at the end, seems less performant for no benefit.
There seem to be easier options but without this focus on resilience. #Freedombox, #LibreServer, #Sandstorm.
@smallcircles
To be fair, we get a sense that many instances are operated by those who are invested in highly questionable endeavours, which make them function similarly to a large corporation.
One of the goals of Fediverse proponents like us is to make setting up secure instances fairly easy, and not too burdensome. We think #Mastodon isn't able to provide such, but with #BloatFE and no javascript, maybe it can.
We wonder how #GNUSocial and I2P-friendly #Epicyon (eg. #LibreServer) might help.
@bob Is LibreServer the new name for FreedomBone? I must have missed that. What motivated the name change?
