@pikesley
I, for one, look forward to this future of which you speak, Home. -
Honestly inappropriate joke considering how reliant a functional society is on internet connectivity.
Maybe think before you post, the war stresses people out enough already, worrying that they can't reach their loved ones anymore is not a "good time"@Purple @pikesley
So...governments around the world are installing fascism to continue to do capitalism on a boiling planet, many are using AI tech in warfare (with devastating and horrifying consequences) and these wars are being started by the worst people on the planet...But sure, let's blame the OP for posting a bit of dark humor.

@pikesley "you promise?"

@pikesley in war times one has to destroy the AI machine which is coordinating attacks.

@pikesley everyone, it is not that hard to quit using billionaire social and news media. Do it now, sooner than later! Help convince others to be part of the solution too!

@pikesley this feels like hoverboard levels of promising. Too good to be true.

@sleepfreeparent @pikesley If you want to strike for maximum effect then a chip fabrication building would be perfect. -they cost in excess of a billion dollars and the planet depends on chips made by these buildings.
Point here is that insane levels of reliance of ultra complex chips that only a few places and businesses can manufacture is super precarious.

@pikesley they’ll be doing the world a favour, some of the horrific cabling work I’ve seen over the years.

@NicelyManifest @sleepfreeparent that's the next stage, when China siezes Taiwan

@pikesley Port Washington's Mayor, here in Wisconsin, isn't worried: “I don’t worry about the safety or security of the city of Port Washington, because Data Centers, they get hit internally (their computers) not externally.“

Meet Ted Neitzke, historian and mayor of Port Washington. If anyone would know a thing or two about the downfall of civilizations past, it would be a historian.

@glent @Hierarchy @pikesley Geothermal wells can sink ridiculous amounts of heat. Space is at a much greater premium. Carving a chunk out of the interior of a mountain is difficult.
Power feeds and network links are probably easier targets.

@pikesley finally, victimless war

They're threatening us with a good time again
@pikesley I'm unsurprisingly comfortable with the loss of a few data centres in the name of war
I'd accept 1,000 data centre losses over 1 school or hospital any day of the week
-
@pikesley I wonder if there are any datacenters underground?
@Hierarchy @pikesley I work for a university in the Midwest US and around 15 years ago it built a datacenter capable of withstanding an F5 tornado. I think it's partly underground. This was back when "cloud computing" was the buzzword of choice.

️ ffsHi! I know it might be difficult to understand what a datacenter actually hosts, but this is not just AI, they've been existing much longer!
Odds are, almost anything you do on the internet nowadays (yes really) requires something that's in a datacenter somewhere. No datacenters, no internet, that sucks!
War sucks in general, joking about loss of telecommunications or other war related casualties sucks

@Purple @clintruin thanks for explaining this, I've only been a professional sysadmin for 25 years

@pikesley Let's be creative with the bombing, too. Let's find where ... honey or something would do a ton of "harm" in a biodegradable way.

@pikesley They probably are soft targets. Just look for the heat signature. Yikes.
But even fiber lines are now a vulnerability. Not a good time to have a sworn enemy.
Is our government protecting us? Or the billionaires/corporations who own them?
