    " #Global and #regional data demonstrate that #women are more at #risk from #climatechange impacts than #men. This is not because women are naturally more susceptible to #natural #hazards, resulting #disasters or #health #crises. Instead, it is the stubborn structural barriers to #equality based on harmful #gender #stereotypes and #inequality of #power in decision making that increase women’s vulnerability, reducing their opportunities to build #resiliency."

  6. Datacenter backup of backups

    • A datacenter backup is another building far, far away from the main one (other town / city / country)
    • You need it in case your main datacenter gets into a catastrophy (fire, earthquake, flood, tsunami, sinkhole, meteor strike)
    • The backup datacenter is smaller and has less processing power, but enough to keep demand / response flowing, fair to bit slow, but keep the site(s) on air
    •• backup datacenters are fully uitlized facilities, just smaller
    •• they need the same as the bullet points stated above
    •• they eat RAM HDDs SSDs et all, just at a smaller scale, but still large enough to hit the consumer market severely

    Conclusion

    We are fucked!

    • just kidding ;)

    No we are in heavy seas

    • observe

    History lesson

    • In the 1990's there was a disaster with electrolytic capacitors
    • They were produced with faulty dielectric materials
    • The elco's swelled up (toxic gasses forming) after a short while of working (days, weeks to some months) then exploded or teared open, causing shorts which fried components like chipset IC's CPU's 16550AF UARTS sound ICs etc
    • The capacitors were installed on hundreds of thousands of motherboards

    We survived

    • The computing world did not end!
    • Many of you reading need to look this event up
    • Most of the people who were fixing the boards have forgotten the event period

    We shall overcome the LLM component crises

    • Homo sapiens is a resilient species
    • Our intelligence will prevail

    Stay positive!

  11. 💾 Western Digital

    We are sold out

    WTF!??

    Why?

    • LLM's demolished the server HDD stock.

    Western Digital has run out of HDD capacity for 2026!

    Disaster for consumers small professionals & even large professionals!

    CEO Irving Tan has confirmed the company is running on fumes
    • Purchase orders from major customers & longterm agreements are reaching well into 2K27 & even 2K28!

    • Three years of desert level drought is close for consumers regarding WD HDD's

    Who is buying the HDD stock?

    Datacenters

    • LLM companies (what a set of ^&^#$&^)
    • Cloud & Hyperscale Data Centers
    •• many don't even have their datacenters built
    • These entities now give WD 90% of its revenue.
    • Consumer drives are just 10%.

    Enterprise demand is decimating supply

    • LLM training
    • inference logs
    • scraped STOLEN web data
    • backups
    •• these need many Petabytes of storage

    Even though GPUs get the headlines (whining gamers), HDDs are the crucial backbone of LLM boom
    •• They’re still the most cost-effective way to store Peta and Exabytes of data.

    Results

    • Consumer HDD supplies shrink
    • Enterprise long term agreements {LTA} are locking in multi-year volume + pricing
    • Price pressure is already happening (I feel them already)
    •• A puny 8TiB Western Digital consumer grade HDD was 108USD two years ago all they way to my country of SR / SA
    •• That same 8TiB HDD is now 196 USD to my country if and WHEN I can find it
    ••• I now find other brands easier but due to the higher quality they naturally cost more to begin with
    ••• Toshiba 7 Fujitsu are a few of those brands
    ••• I'd be better off getting a box of 24TiB server grade HDD's
    ••• In bulk ammounts, these cost less per TiB & they have many more IOPs that consumer HDDs

    DRAM and NAND

    We are all suffering from DRAM and NAND prices seeking amazingly horrific heights
    • Try to get a 64GiB to 512GiB microSD card for a normal price (feb 2K25 level)
    • While you are at it do the same with 64GiB to 256GiB USB sticks
    • You won't find them (needles in haystacks aer a snap to find in comparison)
    •• Large microSD cards are for now fairly normally priced (20% more) but I need small ones for my SBC computer(s) which need many OS distro's to boot from, to perform different functions with differen HATs

    Since septenmber 2K25 my beloved consumer HDDs are getting much more expensive also

    The LLM cycle of tsunami like destruction is not just 6nm IC's

    It’s about everything datacenter wise

    What is needed in a datacenter?

    • H2O O2 N2 CU
    •• you need water and those gasses to keep the natural flow of air running in your massive building which looks more like an Amazon storage facility than a computer server building.
    • sand / grounds / realistate
    • steel and iron
    •• without those your facility can't even be build

    • AC \ DC {not our beloved metal band ;)}
    •• you need to power the servers, JBOD enclosures & HDDs, SSD enclosures to cache the HDDs, fibre optic backbones, CU cabling & rails, circuit breakers, switches
    • AC regulation
    •• AC regulation is a whole seperate topic which I'll touch briefly
    ••• I setup matrix UPS systems which take the AC from the grid, convert it to DC then make their own super stable PFC corrected AC for the server racks
    ••• This guarantees stable power on all rails in the datacenter
    • AC is also generated on our own AC generator matrix
    •• Some generators (in FIFO sequence) run concurrently with AC
    •• When AC grid failures occur these generators give power within a few seconds to the UPS matrix, which keep feeding the rails in the buildings
    •• The other generators spool up and stabilize fast keeping the datacenter running smoothly on power

    • AC is also generated on our own AC generator matrix
    •• Some generators (in FIFO sequence) run concurrently with AC
    •• When AC grid failures occur these generators give power within a few seconds to the UPS matrix, which keep feeding the rails in the buildings
    •• The other generators spool up and stabilize fast keeping the datacenter running smoothly on power

  15. 💾 Western Digital

    We are sold out

    WTF!??

    Why?

    • LLM's demolished the server HDD stock.

    Western Digital has run out of HDD capacity for 2026!

    Disaster for consumers small professionals & even large professionals!

    CEO Irving Tan has confirmed the company is running on fumes
    • Purchase orders from major customers & longterm agreements are reaching well into 2K27 & even 2K28!

    • Three years of desert level drought is close for consumers regarding WD HDD's

    Who is buying the HDD stock?

    Datacenters

    • LLM companies (what a set of ^&^#$&^)
    • Cloud & Hyperscale Data Centers
    •• many don't even have their datacenters built
    • These entities now give WD 90% of its revenue.
    • Consumer drives are just 10%.

    Enterprise demand is decimating supply

    • LLM training
    • inference logs
    • scraped STOLEN web data
    • backups
    •• these need many Petabytes of storage

    Even though GPUs get the headlines (whining gamers), HDDs are the crucial backbone of LLM boom
    •• They’re still the most cost-effective way to store Peta and Exabytes of data.

    Results

    • Consumer HDD supplies shrink
    • Enterprise long term agreements {LTA} are locking in multi-year volume + pricing
    • Price pressure is already happening (I feel them already)
    •• A puny 8TiB Western Digital consumer grade HDD was 108USD two years ago all they way to my country of SR / SA
    •• That same 8TiB HDD is now 196 USD to my country if and WHEN I can find it
    ••• I now find other brands easier but due to the higher quality they naturally cost more to begin with
    ••• Toshiba 7 Fujitsu are a few of those brands
    ••• I'd be better off getting a box of 24TiB server grade HDD's
    ••• In bulk ammounts, these cost less per TiB & they have many more IOPs that consumer HDDs

    DRAM and NAND

    We are all suffering from DRAM and NAND prices seeking amazingly horrific heights
    • Try to get a 64GiB to 512GiB microSD card for a normal price (feb 2K25 level)
    • While you are at it do the same with 64GiB to 256GiB USB sticks
    • You won't find them (needles in haystacks aer a snap to find in comparison)
    •• Large microSD cards are for now fairly normally priced (20% more) but I need small ones for my SBC computer(s) which need many OS distro's to boot from, to perform different functions with differen HATs

    Since septenmber 2K25 my beloved consumer HDDs are getting much more expensive also

    The LLM cycle of tsunami like destruction is not just 6nm IC's

    It’s about everything datacenter wise

    What is needed in a datacenter?

    • H2O O2 N2 CU
    •• you need water and those gasses to keep the natural flow of air running in your massive building which looks more like an Amazon storage facility than a computer server building.
    • sand / grounds / realistate
    • steel and iron
    •• without those your facility can't even be build

    • AC \ DC {not our beloved metal band ;)}
    •• you need to power the servers, JBOD enclosures & HDDs, SSD enclosures to cache the HDDs, fibre optic backbones, CU cabling & rails, circuit breakers, switches
    • AC regulation
    •• AC regulation is a whole seperate topic which I'll touch briefly
    ••• I setup matrix UPS systems which take the AC from the grid, convert it to DC then make their own super stable PFC corrected AC for the server racks
    ••• This guarantees stable power on all rails in the datacenter
    • AC is also generated on our own AC generator matrix
    •• Some generators (in FIFO sequence) run concurrently with AC
    •• When AC grid failures occur these generators give power within a few seconds to the UPS matrix, which keep feeding the rails in the buildings
    •• The other generators spool up and stabilize fast keeping the datacenter running smoothly on power

  18. To all those who curse the Raspberry Pi Foundation

    The foundation gives the prices only to you for technology they buy and use. They don't put the extra costs in their own pockets.

    You should concentrate your hates against the broligarchs. They're the ones who're causing. Buy the market empty for the Ai-Bubble.

  20. A quotation from Euripides

    HELEN: When a man broods on a single misfortune and feels the gods are against him, though his suffering is real, it can be borne; but I am crushed by innumerable blows at once.
     
    [ἙΛΈΝΗ: ὅστις μὲν οὖν ἐς μίαν ἀποβλέπων τύχην
       πρὸς θεῶν κακοῦται, βαρὺ μέν, οἰστέον δ᾽ ὅμως:
       ἡμεῖς δὲ πολλαῖς συμφοραῖς ἐγκείμεθα.]

    Euripides (485?-406? BC) Greek tragic dramatist
    Helen [Ἑλένη], l. 267ff (412 BC) [tr. Vellacott (1954)]

    Forum: As Asean turns 58, don’t write it off just yet
    🧐"Imagine a #SoutheastAsia without #Asean. A conflict like the one between Thailand & Cambodia could easily have escalated into a full-blown #proxy #war, with the US & China rushing in to “mediate” while advancing their own interests.. Still there’s room for serious improvement. Asean must respond faster to #crises, strengthen preventive #diplomacy, & empower its rotating chair to act more decisively"

  25. The #State Dept began firing >1,350 #US based employees Friday as the #Trump admin goes ahead with an unprecedented overhaul of its #DiplomaticCorps, undermining US ability to defend & promote interests abroad.

    The #layoffs, which affect 1,107 #CivilService & 246 #ForeignService officers in the US, come as the US faces multiple global #crises: #Russia's war in #Ukraine, the #Gaza conflict, & the #MiddleEast on edge due to tensions between #Israel & #Iran.

    « Au Québec, particulièrement depuis la pandémie, les #crises se multiplient et s’aggravent à un rythme effréné. »

    « le #hopepunk est un courant de la #sciencefiction qui rejette la #dystopie, non pas en la niant, mais en la confrontant. [Il s'agit] d’une #insurrection douce et obstinée, d’une conviction que la #bonté, la #solidarité et l’#entraide sont les meilleures armes face au #cynisme ambiant »
