The tech sector now generates 6% of global emissions - more than the entire airline industry - and #AI could triple that by 2030! 📉

#GreenIT is no longer a side topic; it’s a #SoftwareArchitecture problem.

In this #InfoQ video, Ludi Akue shares 7 lessons for building truly Sustainable Systems - from the hidden carbon costs of “cheap” cloud regions to how microservices can sometimes do more harm.

Runbox hosts my personal email account. I typically use Thunderbird and aerc over standard SMTP and IMAP. But I sometimes use their webmail client, which is a handy thing to have.

In addition to the privacy mentioned in the toot, they are pro-democracy, have no "AI" garbage, and the servers run on hydropower!

(I don't get anything for saying this, I'm just a customer and I want to see more people use companies like this instead of Big Tech.)

Nice session of sustainable computing talks at CIUK. Storing heat in old coal mines under Durham, immersion cooling and methods monitoring energy use on clusters. #CIUK2025 #SustainableComputing

Slide from CIUK talk on energy and carbon monitoring. Slide tile is benchmark, a plot shows a comparison between various methods of estimating power usage.

A digital collage merging an ornate historical painting of a pioneer scene with images of data and wires. The painting is partially glitched, with sections of digital circuitry and matrix-like grids overtaking the classical imagery. In the scene, pioneers on horseback and on foot appear to be embarking on a journey, but the technological distortion dominates the background, blending history with a sci-fi aesthetic.

Remember when we thought computers taking up an entire room was quaint? #openai #sustainablecomputing #frugalcomputing

Did you know #microservices can use up to 20% more CPU & 44% more energy than traditional monoliths?

AI model developers should recognize that while training their models consumes vast amounts of resources, they can give back by sharing value with the communities that surround the infrastructure producing these resources.

Agree?

#sustainableai #S12Y #aiinfrastructure #sustainablecomputing #sharingiscaring

AI model developers should work toward using generalized computing architectures rather than specialized ones.

What do you think?

#sustainableai #S12Y #aiinfrastructure #sustainablecomputing

AI model developers should schedule training their data when there is an abundance of renewable energy in the region of their infrastructure.

Agree?

#sustainableai #S12Y #aiinfrastructure #sustainablecomputing

AI model developers should use shared infrastructure for training to promote fair competition and innovation.

Do you agree?

#sustainableai #S12Y #aiinfrastructure #sustainablecomputing #sharingiscaring

Data set providers should label each of the data sets they offer with the total environmental impact as well as local value creation.

Do you agree?

#sustainableai #S12Y #aiinfrastructure #sustainablecomputing

Government should facilitate the environmental impact measurement of AI models.
