@Lydie @Gustodon What do data centers enable that could not be accomplished through less centralized means?

Aside from consolidated private control over vast swaths of user data, I mean?

@cmdrmoto @Lydie @Gustodon The reason my servers are in a data-center instead of at home is that the data-center has cheaper power and better bandwidth and expert engineers on site to fix things if they break.

@cmdrmoto @Lydie @Gustodon data centers are decentralized. They exist b/c they're better than everyone running servers in their homes and offices.

@arg2d2 @Lydie @Gustodon 2 + 2 = 5?

Data centers enable economies of scale. It's easier, cheaper, and more efficient to manage thousands of servers in one place than having them scattered all over the place. You can have professional staff looking after the equipment 24/7/365, infrastructure that only makes sense at scale, and so forth.

@VATVSLPR @Lydie @Gustodon Agreed. And economies of scale are inherently achieved at the cost of redundancy and resiliency.

That’s the problem with them.
