Hell yeah, another fellow user of DDR3. It'll live forever!

I don't really see a reason to upgrade, my i5 from 2009 is still running fine. Damn, now that I'm writing it out, that does sound old

Wait - some people pay for zines?

I also wasn't aware that people ask for money for zines. Then again, I have never seen a zine in the wild :/ This one is definitely worth a read, it's a whole mood

Ah, mir ist jetzt erst aufgefallen, dass ich deine Aussage missverstanden habe, tut mir leid, war keine Absicht.

Ich dachte beim OP gehts bei der Regulierung der Raumfeuchtigkeit um ein gutes Raumklima. Im Endeffekt ging's mir ja auch nur um die Darstellung, dass "Lufttrocknung = Regulierung der Raumfeuchtigkeit" bei Klimaanlagen eine etwas merkwürdige Darstellung ist. Bin wohl etwas übers Ziel hinaus geschossen.

Es wäre mir neu, dass Häuser ohne Klimaanlage alle vom Schimmel befallen sind. Das wäre auch reine Symptombekämpfung. Willst du im Keller im Winter eine Klimaanlage laufen lassen, damit die feuchte Ecke nicht schimmelt?

Abgesehen davon ging es um "regulieren". Klimaanlagen ziehen durchgehend Feuchtigkeit aus der Luft, das ist kein "regulieren". Lehm bzw. Ton "reguliert", in dem Sinne, dass sie Feuchtigkeit auch wieder abgeben, wenn der Raum zu trocken ist, also die Luftfeuchtigkeit auf einem gewissem Niveau halten.

Thanks for reminding me of this gem https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSBsq6HBBzw

This is your example of capitalism working? Then I don't want to see it failing.

Das würde ich nicht als "regulieren" bezeichnen

You have to do a bit more than just open the website and immediately dismiss it. Granted, it's in German, but clicking on the individual reactors gives you a list of incidents there.

If you want something more condensed, here is a list of incidents in

Germany https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_meldepflichtiger_Ereignisse_in_deutschen_kerntechnischen_Anlagen

or Europe https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_von_St%C3%B6rf%C3%A4llen_in_europ%C3%A4ischen_kerntechnischen_Anlagen

though also only available in German. Just because an incident does not make it to the news, does not mean that no radiation was leaked.

Sure, I basically agree with everything you said. The thing is that even without data centers we'd be in this mess. I'm not trying to defend them, they definitely undo the little progress that was made. However, Trump would have undone the regulations with or without the data centers.

It's just that it's not only data centers that are fast tracking climate change. I mean... gestures broadly at everything basically everything is fast tracking climate change.

I guess you definitely are right in the sense that it's one of the sources that's among the easiest to get rid of.

That is the part that pains me to admit - running local LLMs is not a solution to the RAMpocalypse. In that case we'd just have more GPUs and RAM idling for ~90% of the time in someones basement, without being shared. As bad as it sounds, having data centers for AI stuff is actually the more ecological solution. I can't believe I said that. Excuse me, I have to take a shower now *shudder*

Nice of you to side-track with current emissions (per capita even), and not cumulative historical emissions, which were actually mentioned.

Feel free to compare different countries yourself: https://ourworldindata.org/co2-emissions-metrics (~~I'm not sure why ourworldindata doesn't just put all of this on one page instead of splitting it up. It's always a hassle to find the right one~~ it even is on the same page, I just didn't look close enough) The more interesting comparison might be high-income vs low-income countries.

To get back to the discussion: Yes, Europes share is not as huge as it used to be, and it's getting lower, but what can be seen from @Tehdastehdas@piefed.social graph is that that's less due to Europe behaving better and rather due to other countries polluting more. Not a good argument for saying "Europe is doing better now"

Don't blame everything on the data centers. Everything else is doing its part in contributing to climate change.

Apart from that data centers, at the scale at which we seem them pop up now, are way too young to have a considerable effect on the current heat wave. Which doesn't mean that they won't in the future. Climate change is, after all, a decades long project
