@mainframed767 I JUST saw a story about a company proposing deploying “fractional data centers” into residential areas to take advantage of electrical grid surplus. 🥹

Hey, remember back in the day with `Folding At Home` (protein folding simulation) and `SETI @ home` (processing radio astronmy data)? good times where you could donate your spare cpu cycles.

@tezoatlipoca @mainframed767 Folding@Home is still up and running and has lots of simulations to run...
