Using the electricity mix in my region, the servers I run put out around 5 tonnes of CO² a year. My laptop puts out just shy of 100lbs, or 45kg (assuming 12 hours of use per day). Seeing what tricks I can employ to begin keeping my servers powered off more. Already I've started keeping my media box turned off at night and much of the day by downloading music and video I want to consume in the near future to the devices I'll be consuming them on, but my VM server runs some things that should be kept on 24 hours a day. Next step is, I suppose, seeing if I can put some of those VMs onto SBCs instead. (I have a few from previous projects just gathering dust at the moment.)

I'd love to follow your journey. I need to divest from my hypocracy and redirect my server-geek urges to the smol aswell · 2 years ago
Personal carbon footprints are, of course, an intentional distraction from doing the necessary regulatory work to address climate change, created and popularized by British Petroleum.
That said, all my thoughts regarding this subject are (apparently, after sitting here typing and re-typing for a while) more complex and lengthier than I'd realized and should probably be elaborated in a blog post rather than here on Station. · 2 years ago
