The tech sector now generates 6% of global emissions - more than the entire airline industry - and #AI could triple that by 2030! 📉

#GreenIT is no longer a side topic; it’s a #SoftwareArchitecture problem.

In this #InfoQ video, Ludi Akue shares 7 lessons for building truly Sustainable Systems - from the hidden carbon costs of “cheap” cloud regions to how microservices can sometimes do more harm.

Runbox hosts my personal email account. I typically use Thunderbird and aerc over standard SMTP and IMAP. But I sometimes use their webmail client, which is a handy thing to have.

In addition to the privacy mentioned in the toot, they are pro-democracy, have no "AI" garbage, and the servers run on hydropower!

(I don't get anything for saying this, I'm just a customer and I want to see more people use companies like this instead of Big Tech.)

Just learned about Kepler. Kepler is an interesting project to measure your energy consumption in a Kubernetes cluster:

AI model developers should recognize that while training their models consumes vast amounts of resources, they can give back by sharing value with the communities that surround the infrastructure producing these resources.

Agree?
