@hzulla my concern is that the lack of water is the plan. Trump and Putin are looking for foreign "migration hubs" to deport over 10 million people from America alone. These datacenter plans can pivot instantly to camps of forced deportation victims. That turns the no water, no energy into a feature.

@mttaggart I hate to admit it but this is how I've been the whole time. I had a friend whose father was one of the biggest cattle ranchers. Hundreds of thousands of numbered heads, as far as the eye could see in massive dirt lots with industrial feed and killing machines. But when they wanted to eat beef, they went to their little grassy backyard and brought the slowly raised, hand-fed cow with a name like "Bessie" over to their good friend the butcher. "We will eat Bessie, never from the lots".

True story.

And as much as I worked for the biggest operations (and still do, consulting) I always ran my own servers. Web log has been my own Linux machine since 1995, always self-hosted. Mail server too. But I understand why some people can't imagine getting their hands involved, thinking deep like how to care for and yet say goodbye to Bessie instead of just ripping open a package of prepared meals.
