“The Cloud now has a greater carbon footprint than the airline industry. A single data center can consume the equivalent electricity of 50,000 homes. At 200 terawatt hours annually, data centers collectively devour more energy than some nation-states.”

The threat we face from AI isn’t being turned into paperclips by intelligent machines. It’s tech companies using those fictional stories to justify remaking the world to power and cool massive data centers so they can try to fulfill their AI fantasies and keep investors happy.

What on earth?! Amazon S3 charges you for unauthorised requests to S3?!

That's just absolutely insane! I better check my AWS account and delete any unused buckets I have in there …

Is anyone out there using FOSS for accounting?

I'm struggling with Quickbooks desktop (which you can only get as a subscription now, unless you pay four figures for an enterprise license).

?

Edit: Thanks for all of the feedback so far, updates and clarification following in a reply...

Winter along the Florida coast at sunrise paints the sky with soft pastel hues, as the sun casts a gentle, golden glow on the shoreline. Against the backdrop of a serene, pink-tinged sky, the distant horizon features majestic thunderclouds, creating a striking contrast between tranquility and impending storm.

Tipp Nr.30: Achte vor dem Kauf neuer Geräte/Technik unbedingt auf Fallstricke. Diese können sein: App-Zwang, Cloud-Anbindung etc. Nicht jeder »Scheiß« muss mit dem Internet verbunden sein. Wenn die Hersteller dann pleite gehen, sind die Geräte meist nicht mehr zu gebrauchen. Vorausschauendes Einkaufen kann das verhindern.

In this first episode: the big three public cloud providers have dropped egress fees, four years of lessons and regrets from running a startup, and avoiding surprise fees when learning cloud technologies with free tiers.
