oh wow.
Doing some research for a short piece on "why @spatialised will not do #geoJMSU (aka automated geo-bullshit)"
I ran across an article about a new (in 2024) datacentre complex in [Australia] that will potentially consume more power than the *entire regional city I live in*.
I've worked in a 2MW "research" facility. It was *huge* and intensive.
So I'm compelled to share this old piece (contains swears):
