You may take Internet access, working interconnections and longhaul as granted.

Today, in France, one datacenter cooling system buckled under the load generated by the current heatwave.

Telecom equipment in tiny unvented cabinets are reaching critical temperatures. Radio and access shelters become unbearably hot.

In one of the most grim twists I can imagine, a datacenter shutting down due to climate change: mail-archive.com/frnog@frnog.o

Me (talking to game): Alright, calm your tits.
@rantingsteve (in kitchen doing dinner stuff): Okay.
Me: Not you!
Steve: Too late, I had to calm my tits down because they're revolting.
Me:
Steve: It was the nipple uprising.
Me: *typing*
Steve: Are you posting that?
Me: Of /course./

So anyways, Nipple Uprising is an /awesome/ band name.

CN: I did actually fuck the ice lolly.

AI, Green Data, NMT 

Every issue since, through June 11, published at least one article each, all but a lone letter to the editor reflecting majority opposition.

Earlier this month, County voted for a 1 year data center moratorium: dchieftain.com/news/socorro-co

Earlier still, reporting came out that, regarding the AI rodeo, Green Data & its CEO, Jason Bak, are basically all hat and no cattle: sourcenm.com/2026/06/09/a-cana

I should be surprised NMT didn't know, but I'm not.

Given the upcoming #RecordHeat anticipated in the UK, I'm seeing people post recommendations for managing high heat without AC.

So if you have DIY #cooling recommendations, post below! We're bound to have some duplicates but that's okay.

cloudflare 

The most brazenly malicious & openly fascist cloudy firewall is having outages yet again. If you still use them, why? How developed is your migration plan to bin them? How far along are you in that plan?
