A Christmas tree shaped server rack that people can install in their living rooms to heat their houses in winter and festively decorate the latest in AI hardware
I was reflecting on all that unused datacenter space that is inconveniently concentrated in living rooms.
Allan Chow@jerry someone literally tried that for crypto
@jerry it was like folding at home on steroids
Pete Gent@jerry @grumpasaurus #Ikea has the perfect solution for this https://wiki.eth0.nl/index.php/LackRack

gary@jerry this year some things should happen with ai - I always like to look at the sectors that are evolving like back in the day when nothing was happening with pc industry mobile picked up the slack, ai is performing the same function now for the general economy and tech; much of the latest hype may be seen as pre ipo hype supercycle #gpon
Gabriel N@jerry It seems like a win-win and was looking into it this winter when electricity prices was high, a DYI solution barely works out if you already own a GPU, and this is Finland where we need heating most of the year
But on a professional scale it has been tried many times and all of the companies have either gone bankrupt (Dutch nerdalize )or switched to doing it at district heating level (French qarnots)
Only one who still seems to be around is UK https://heata.co/ and they heat your water.
Hayo
TanukiSec@jerry https://innovation.ukpowernetworks.co.uk/projects/shield - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c0rpy7envr5o just need to get them to adopt the Xmas tree design :)

Cassander@jerry There's no better way to celebrate the reason for the season than to process your own shrimp jesus.
@drsbaitso @jerry See, before this whole AI Slop fest that is 2026, I would have been excited to find a cajun.
But nooOOOOoOoooo it's always slop all the time.
It used to be turtles all the way down, but now its just slop.
