Last year I built this web platform for tracking datacentre activity for civil society. A kind of alternative to the datacenter maps that are glued together by powerful lobbyists. I am not hosting the web platform right now (do not have the capacity but archive version in comment), but I just want to notify that the code is there, and can be forked, used, adapted, and developed upon by the rise of datacenter resistances I see popping up around me. Feel free if there is no better alternatives. Use it openly or privately in your resistances - I can help you with setup if you need this.
The platform features:
- A map of datacenters
- Company entries (that can hold pseudonyms since DC-producing corporations e.g., Microsoft tend to hide their identity... creepy)
- Datacenter entries
- Report entries connected to each datacenter (news links, personal xp, etc)What made me make this?
Last year I visited a friend in Norway in Tydal (733 people in the municipality). Around 8pm each night the silence was replaced by a humming sound that penetrated everything. My friend told it was from a datacenter some kilometers away, and they were running services for US corporations. After this I researched online and found an article by a civilian in the area that got his and his children’s night sleep destroyed by this sound. Then last week my friend send me this article:
https://www.aftenposten.no/okonomi/i/k0KovB/gigantkontrakt-for-ki-datasenter-i-tydal-verdi-paa-45-milliarder-kronerThey will expand their crypto coin mining activity with an AI lab for US companies, and in the meantime peoples - as well as non-humans - life quality are destroyed. This is hard to bear.
Civil society can stand powerless in the face of big corporations. They manipulate and lobby us, and if you are e.g., a municipality of 733 people in a region of 1300 square kilometers, what is the chance that you can gather information to construct your own rationales? By chaining "reports" or events connected to datacenters I hoped this platform could help with transparency.

Here is an archived version from wayback machine:

This is the article I mention in the description, the individual voices and suffering from people living in the municipality that is muted by stories of growth:
https://www.selbyggen.no/fredrik-mistet-nattesovnen-av-mystisk-lyd-i-tydal-gar-gjennom-marg-og-bein/261334Translated:
"Fredrik lost the night's sleep to a mysterious sound in Tydal: - Penetrating through the marrow and bones."Last year I could read the content (there is a paywall), and it said that Fredrik said he believed it was form the datacenter (of course it is). Now - a year later - I can see in the subheading that the newspaper have added this (in english translation):
"Chairman Haakon Bryhni of Tydal Data Center does not think the sound is coming from the data center."I wonder if they wrote to the newspaper and got them to add it...
