La nuova Termodinamica Quantistica.
Per decenni, il mondo dell'infinitamente piccolo ha sfidato le leggi della fisica classica. Oggi, un team di ricercatori dell'Università di Basilea ha finalmente gettato un ponte tra questi due mondi, definendo un nuovo quadro teorico che spiega come il calore e il lavoro si comportano livello quantistico

Unfortunately due to tariffs we are not able to purchase more Compute Blades for our GreenWare project without paying 20% in import tariffs. As a state and federally tax exempt organization, it’s unfortunate that we are being taxed by our government. ☹️

#Scribus is a (*the*) #floss desktop-publishing #dtp software and totally underrated.

What can I say … it really grew on me. It gets the *job* done.
With a fraction of the (monetary, computational and cognitive) resources a (*the*) competitor would need. 🌱

Hackintoshing as a Sustainable Environmental Practice

Is #YouTube reducing the average bitrate on 1080p videos for non-Premium users? I always hear about compression artefacts but rarely noticed them, until recently.

You'd think higher compression is good for #EnergyEfficiency. The impact of delaying the expansion of networking hardware is hard to assess. Energy spent on client-side decoding and new client hardware probably dominates.

Results of encoding settings are not obvious:

After re:Invent I spent some time reading about serverless sustainability (both in general and specifically within AWS) and did a write up on the state of sustainability at the end of 2024. Great news: there are some interesting trends and tools to help you tailor your operations to be more carbon aware.

Tout juste avant le premier confinement de Covid, j'ai acheté un Mac mini usagé. Un modèle "late 2014", processeur i5, 16 Go de mémoire, 1 To de stockage. Devenu lent après une malheureuse mise à jour de MacOS, j'ai décidé de le passer à #Ubuntu (Jammy Jellyfish) 22.04, il y a deux ans environ. Amélioration instantanée de performance.

Je viens de terminer la mise à jour à 24.04 Noble Numbat ce matin. Tout roule encore mieux! Une machine qui a 10 ans!

I've been wanting to do this for a year now, and i don't know why it took me so long, but i feel like i slashed my carbon footprint by disabling pipelines for draft MRs

Note that Googlebot very much fails to pay attention to cacheing signals for #RSS files, and Google-Podcast* pays no attention at all to any of these signals. Please fix.

I am hoping to shame Google / Apple / Amazon / Spotify / PodBean into reducing the 99%+ waste from their sloppy behaviour... Eg #LOCO2024

*Why is Google-Podcast still polling my #RSS feed AT ALL, let alone ~140 times per day on a feed that hasn't changed since August?

In #Bielefeld laufen die Vorbereitungen auf die große #LinuxInstallParty (Samstag 15 Uhr in den @acmelabs) auf Hochtouren: 30 USB-Sticks wurden mit jeweils gut 50 Gigabytes GNU/Linux befüllt.

Die Fotos zeigen unsere USB-Stick-Kopiermaschine (vielen Dank fürs Ausleihen, @phillo!) und einen der Sticks im Betrieb. Den 64-GB-Stick könnt ihr zum Materialpreis (5€) mit nach Hause nehmen.

Wozu das Ganze? Damit ihr selbst erleben könnt, dass in euren alten Laptops noch viel Leben steckt, wenn ihr sie mit Linux statt Windows betreibt. In anderen Worten: Steigt von Windows 10 nicht auf Windows 11, sondern auf GNU/Linux um und behaltet eure Hardware, statt neue zu kaufen!

Um uns die Planung zu erleichtern, könnt ihr euer Kommen gern mit einer E-Mail an post@datenpunks.de ankündigen. Erwähnt dabei am besten euren Laptop-Hersteller.

Not so long ago I watched a lecture about #GreenComputing (https://youtu.be/U0LwObfvCus?si=hC6-dNt9Idp0TDuA but it's in Czech) and learned that the carbon footprint of manufacturing and distribution of #hardware is huge and vastly overshadows reduction from better efficiency that new HW can bring, so the greenest choice you can do is to buy #refurb s and focus on HW that will last.

The lecture focuses on compute servers, but I bet it's true for any area of computing.

@mathiasx and I were having an interesting back and forth, and his post got me thinking:

For all #softwaredev #programmer #cloudengineer types out there, what energy audit tools are out there right now that people could start leveraging to evaluate their code for being more efficient from a "reduce fossil fuel consumption" point of view?

Static analysis, CI tools, etc. All ideas welcome.

@grafana I feel like something like this is in your wheelhouse. Also, any @cncfambassadors in the environmental sustainment TAG know of some tooling?
