Data centers could consume 9.3 Trillion Liters of Water by 2030
If treated as a country, data centers could rank sixth globally for electricity consumption by 2030.
This amount of electricity consumption carries an enormous carbon footprint – 189 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent, which only 3.2 billion tree seedlings grown over 10 years would be able to offset.
But the top tech bro from Microsoft says they only use as much as a restaurant
Ah, yes. I had to stop what I was doing when the Metropolitan Opera broadcast of Turandot got to Nessun Dorma. It was sung excellently by Brian Jagde, and wow, that aria always brings me to tears.
(Sometimes it's tears of frustration when my cat is performing his own unique version at 3am, as he did today - "Nessun dorma" means "nobody sleeps".)
If you or someone you know has received Instructure #Canvas-themed phishing messages, we want to hear about it! Samples welcome, but also any other circumstances.
Something seems phishy about the claim that no data is out in the open.
I'm hiring an IT staffer, FTE, onsite in San Francisco. We're transitioning from tiny startup mode to small business and hiring lots of less-technical staff. I need someone to manage onboarding/offboarding, deploy Okta across the SaaS products we use, service requests from employees, and otherwise help automate All The Things so that doubling headcount doesn't mean doubling the amount of manual work.
You'll report to me and we'll tackle these things together. DM for more info. Please boost!

Fun fact I made a typo in sysmon-config many years ago, when I was working in Helpdesk.
I got my shot and was hired to the big firm with the big fancy expensive tools I would've never dreamed of.
Do you know what I find in that tool, auditing it?
My typo. They pasted it in. They just... copied the whole thing.
I sit at my desk. And I realize I was always enough.
Oh look, the exact thing everyone but Google said would happen has happened.

Each time you see a targeted ad, your personal information is exposed to thousands of advertisers and data brokers through a process called “real-time bidding” (RTB). This process does more than deliver ads—it fuels government surveillance, poses national security risks, and gives data brokers easy access to your online activity. RTB might be the most privacy-invasive surveillance system that you’ve never heard of.
Look me in the eye and tell me any amount of money—let alone a massive loss—is worth this.
This technology is anti-human.
