on: What do Climate Change, Data Centres and Cloud have to do with each other?
It's a very high impact thing to host on 100% carbon neutral servers. If we don't want to switch to Goggle or Azure then it's just about prioritising the AWS sustainable regions of Oregon, Montreal, Ireland and Frankfurt

on: Ask HN: What can be done to prevent a climate catastrophe?
Agreed, this is one for commercial votes ($). We're a rich industry that uses loads of electricity, most of which is fossil-fueled. We need to choose to run our servers 100% carbon neutral and that would make way more difference than individual action. That will get more spending on renewable generation. Our industry has the money and we can personally just choose to host somewhere carbon neutral (as mentioned, Google, Azure or the 4 sustainable AWS regions: Oregon, Montreal, Ireland, Frankfurt right now)

I'm also a dev on this (anne) we've had a question, are the scaling containers running locally on your machine? The answer is yes, we just display what's happening on your machine on our portal
