    @pikesley I wonder if there are any datacenters underground?

          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"

          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 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.

                          @srtcd424 @pikesley Of course the costs of up-armoring these enormous resource hungry datacenters will ultimately be passed along to their clients - on-premises compute is looking bullish, kids, you heard it here first

                            @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.“

                              @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 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

                                    @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.

                                        Hi! 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
