#SoftwareCosts don't end at deployment.
2001: An engineer adopts a French #OpenSource bulk mailer, running on mostly unsecured SMTP. Over the years it's extended ad hoc — eventually managing security group permissions. The company grows; the #software (now at 100× planned #capacity) falls over daily.
2009: After the original engineer leaves, a contractor-turned-hire inherits it. Memory leaks fixed, algorithms rewritten that had pre-cached the universe for "efficiency." Redundancy established and tested. Deployment documented. The upstream package has been rearchitected twice since 2001, and after being pulled off the project twice to restart, the replacement engineer maps all integrations to the new architecture with a proper API — replacing direct database queries. The max supported mailing groups turns out to be tied to filesystem limits: 32k+ groups (now at 300× original capacity thanks to fixing the memory leaks and hourly restarts) each with a directory, capped by hardlink counts on the inode. A campaign encourages responsible use and better security. Archiving aligns with retention policy. And nearly daily, a manager insists someone didn't get their email, so the engineer traces it by SMTP ID.
Then the company moves to Gmail, which won't tolerate internal mailers forging external domains. Data and management migrate to Google Groups with a new front-end preserving the old permission controls. Legacy API users are tracked and urged to migrate before "the end." And the heart of corporate communication for 15+ years is decommissioned.
Every stage has real costs:

#FukushimaNuclearPlant clean-up faces yet another delay
Story by Mari Yamaguchi, July 29, 2025
"The full-scale removal of melted nuclear fuel from the #tsunami-wrecked #FukushimaDaiichi power plant has been delayed by several years, with the operator now targeting 2037 or later for the crucial operation.
"Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings (#TEPCO) announced the setback on Tuesday, underscoring the immense challenges still facing the site.
"TEPCO stated that 12 to 15 years of preparation are required before commencing full-scale debris removal at the No. 3 reactor, involving radiation reduction and facility construction.
"An estimated 880 tons of melted nuclear fuel and structural debris remain within the three reactors that suffered meltdowns following the 2011 earthquake and tsunami.
"This latest delay further jeopardises the Japanese government and TEPCO's existing 2051 target for decommissioning the plant.
"A test retrieval of a small fuel sample in November was already three years behind schedule, with some experts suggesting the entire #decommissioning process could extend beyond a century.
"TEPCO said it plans to stick to the current completion target of 2051.
" 'Realistically, we are aware of the difficulty (to achieve the target) but we will not drop the goal just yet, as we still don't have a clear work schedule after the full-scale removal begins,' said Akira Ono, chief decommissioning officer at TEPCO.
"Ono said TEPCO plans to examine preparation work necessary at the two other reactors within the next couple of years ahead of full-scale melted fuel retrieval.
"After small missions by robots [that were fried by radiation] to gather samples, experts will determine a larger-scale method for removing melted fuel, first at the No. 3 reactor.
"In May, Japan announced plans to use slightly radioactive soil, stored near Fukushima nuclear plant, for flower beds outside Prime Minister #ShigeruIshiba’s office. [Maybe put more waste there as well! Useless politicians! Who have access to #PrussianBlue pills which remove #Cesium137 from one's body!]
"The move is intended to demonstrate the safety of reusing soil that was removed from Fukushima prefecture during decontamination efforts following the 2011 nuclear disaster. Officials say that some of the soil has now reached levels deemed safe for reuse." [Using faulty dosimeters, I'll wager!]

This sounds like a recipe for #OrphanWells, now offshore.
"As many offshore fields reach the end of their economic life, #decommissioning is set to become an even larger part of the #OilAndGas industry.
In most cases, the operator of the well or platform is responsible for bearing the costs of decommissioning.
One primary issue is the degradation of equipment. Another risk is exposure to hazardous substances left behind in valves, pipes, or tanks."

Pollution
#Shell must clean up #pollution before it leaves #Niger delta, report says
Firm told it must take #responsibility for #toxic legacy of pollution and safe #decommissioning of abandoned oil #infrastructureThe #oil firm Shell cannot be allowed to withdraw from the Niger delta before it takes #responsibility for its toxic legacy of pollution and the safe decommissioning of abandoned oil infrastructure, a report says.
Shell plc is preparing to divest from the delta but a report warns that it must remain until it has cleaned up its legacy of pollution.
The report, by the Centre for Research on Multinational Corporations (Somo), says historical pollution remains a serious issue in the area and accuses Shell of trying to avoid responsibility despite the billions of dollars it has earned from the oil.
The allegations come as the Labour MP Clive Lewis said in the House of Commons that the departure of Shell, a #British #company, from the delta raised serious concerns that its #environmental responsibilities and obligations could be evaded.
The report says there is a big transparency gap around the issue of funding for decommissioning. #Nigeria has legal requirements for companies to set aside funds for decommissioning, but there is no means to establish how much funding companies have – or have not – set aside, the report said.
Researchers for #Somo could not find any confirmation that Shell has set up a fund or funds to cover the decommissioning of the oil mining leases it has sold.

Lack of #commitment to #decommissioning a certain group of #instances. So of course it became critical that there weren’t enough of those instances ready to go in the cloud. And their #token #expired so we had to find a better one. And they took their sweet time to actually consume the work we delegated to them.

Turning off a nuclear plant leads to decades of work and thousands of years of "containment"
"'No one was responsible for the #decommissioning
in the 1960s' when the plant was first designed, Schindel said.In all, workers at the plant have 1.8 million metric tons of material to sort through and shift.
“'It’s a massive amount,' said Schindel"
This is for one plant. And thus, for each plant we build in the future.

"NRC to stake out position on using decommissioning funds for equipment replacement"
"The Nuclear Regulatory Commission planned next week to formally declare its position on a major industry wish-list item: paying for maintenance of nuclear power plants with funds that are supposed to be reserved for tearing the plants down."
Hmmmm, commitment of industry funds set aside for the immense cost of decommissioning #nuclear power plants, as required by law, or give that money back to the industry to pay for them to be able to run the plants for longer than they were designed, and pass on the whole of the decommissioning costs to the taxpayers.
Wonder what they will choose?

Appalled by comments to this excellent article by George Monbiot, still defending #NuclearEnergy as a solution. As if nobody had learned anything from the calamitous decisions of the past that are still ruining our present:
1. the uncontrollable 'accidents' -- #LongIsland, #Windscale, #Chernobyl, #Fukushima
2. the everlasting #radiation
3. the immense cost of #decommissioning and 'cleanup'
4. and the INSOLUBLE problem of #NuclearWaste.
