Design BrouhahaThis website is beautiful ✿✿
Deux Fleurs is a non profit organization providing hosting without data centers. They are using old computers at home in France, using open source technologies.

@MoritzBrouhaha Interesting idea and fun to create something like this, but I wonder how the carbon footprint of old servers compares to modern servers running in a data center? Might be a wash when you consider embedded carbon in the new servers, I dunno ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
John LivingstonSeveral studies point out the fact that building new computers has a very high carbon cost. You need to destroy landscapes to extract materials.
Even if old servers consume more electricity, it is better for the environment to keep them as long as possible, instead of just creating more waste.
@dschwarz good question ! It is not my domain of expertise at all but I'm sure you can ask them directly by email if your want to know more !
leckye@dschwarz @MoritzBrouhaha found on their wiki: https://guide.deuxfleurs.fr/infrastructures/energie/ (in french) - might help
@leckye @MoritzBrouhaha Nice. They covered all my questions. The fact that they’re based in France, which relies heavily on nuclear for electricity generation, helps a lot. Wish other countries had made that choice and stuck to it.
@dschwarz @leckye I contacted them yesterday to move kaomojicool.club they gave me this complementary note about energy consumption, still work in progress : https://pad.deuxfleurs.fr/code/#/2/code/view/svkhEYeqWIb09ygcl8opWDWhvW54yje9WEK70HWdmSk/embed/
