I've had a delightfully nerdy morning - I've made it so that #fishnet ("distributed Stockfish analysis for lichess.org", https://github.com/lichess-org/fishnet), runs on my computer ONLY when the temperature is below 25°C and the grid is powered by more than 40% renewable energy. Very silly project, but FUN 🤓 🌞
It uses https://data.hub.api.metoffice.gov.uk/sitespecific/v0/point/hourly?excludeParameterMetadata=true&latitude=${LAT}&longitude=${LON} for the temperature, and https://api.carbonintensity.org.uk/generation for the % of renewable energy on the grid.
I think the thing I'm most looking forward to is that it will be an abstract way to keep an eye on how the grid is doing (e.g. "Ooh, my computer fans just kicked in, the grid must be pretty green today! 🎉 💚 ")

...dislodging the ball from the most tricky places ever, mulling over the placement and probabilistic interaction of bumpers to hopefully achieve a better output, while losing the skill to roll yourself. Have fun aligning humans and agents with products and the overall organisation, while keeping the economic and systemic perspective in your view.
"Fun" times trying to bring the Engineering to #AgenticSoftwareEngineering and anything resembling #sustainability, #autonomy or #GreenComputing.

Unfortunately due to tariffs we are not able to purchase more Compute Blades for our GreenWare project without paying 20% in import tariffs. As a state and federally tax exempt organization, it’s unfortunate that we are being taxed by our government. ☹️

#Scribus is a (*the*) #floss desktop-publishing #dtp software and totally underrated.
What can I say … it really grew on me. It gets the *job* done.
With a fraction of the (monetary, computational and cognitive) resources a (*the*) competitor would need. 🌱#CMYK #prepress #pdf #alternativeTo #floss #libre #BuyEuropean #GraphicsDesign #mediengestaltung #typography #typesetting #pagemaking #printdesign #framemaker #indesign #pagemaker #greencomputing #opensource

Is #YouTube reducing the average bitrate on 1080p videos for non-Premium users? I always hear about compression artefacts but rarely noticed them, until recently.
You'd think higher compression is good for #EnergyEfficiency. The impact of delaying the expansion of networking hardware is hard to assess. Energy spent on client-side decoding and new client hardware probably dominates.
Results of encoding settings are not obvious:

Tout juste avant le premier confinement de Covid, j'ai acheté un Mac mini usagé. Un modèle "late 2014", processeur i5, 16 Go de mémoire, 1 To de stockage. Devenu lent après une malheureuse mise à jour de MacOS, j'ai décidé de le passer à #Ubuntu (Jammy Jellyfish) 22.04, il y a deux ans environ. Amélioration instantanée de performance.
Je viens de terminer la mise à jour à 24.04 Noble Numbat ce matin. Tout roule encore mieux! Une machine qui a 10 ans!

I've been wanting to do this for a year now, and i don't know why it took me so long, but i feel like i slashed my carbon footprint by disabling pipelines for draft MRs

@rustybrick @methode @searchliaison
Note that Googlebot very much fails to pay attention to cacheing signals for #RSS files, and Google-Podcast* pays no attention at all to any of these signals. Please fix.
I am hoping to shame Google / Apple / Amazon / Spotify / PodBean into reducing the 99%+ waste from their sloppy behaviour... Eg #LOCO2024
*Why is Google-Podcast still polling my #RSS feed AT ALL, let alone ~140 times per day on a feed that hasn't changed since August?

In #Bielefeld laufen die Vorbereitungen auf die große #LinuxInstallParty (Samstag 15 Uhr in den @acmelabs) auf Hochtouren: 30 USB-Sticks wurden mit jeweils gut 50 Gigabytes GNU/Linux befüllt.
Die Fotos zeigen unsere USB-Stick-Kopiermaschine (vielen Dank fürs Ausleihen, @phillo!) und einen der Sticks im Betrieb. Den 64-GB-Stick könnt ihr zum Materialpreis (5€) mit nach Hause nehmen.
Wozu das Ganze? Damit ihr selbst erleben könnt, dass in euren alten Laptops noch viel Leben steckt, wenn ihr sie mit Linux statt Windows betreibt. In anderen Worten: Steigt von Windows 10 nicht auf Windows 11, sondern auf GNU/Linux um und behaltet eure Hardware, statt neue zu kaufen!
Um uns die Planung zu erleichtern, könnt ihr euer Kommen gern mit einer E-Mail an [email protected] ankündigen. Erwähnt dabei am besten euren Laptop-Hersteller.

Not so long ago I watched a lecture about #GreenComputing (https://youtu.be/U0LwObfvCus?si=hC6-dNt9Idp0TDuA but it's in Czech) and learned that the carbon footprint of manufacturing and distribution of #hardware is huge and vastly overshadows reduction from better efficiency that new HW can bring, so the greenest choice you can do is to buy #refurb s and focus on HW that will last.
The lecture focuses on compute servers, but I bet it's true for any area of computing.

@mathiasx and I were having an interesting back and forth, and his post got me thinking:
For all #softwaredev #programmer #cloudengineer types out there, what energy audit tools are out there right now that people could start leveraging to evaluate their code for being more efficient from a "reduce fossil fuel consumption" point of view?
Static analysis, CI tools, etc. All ideas welcome.
@grafana I feel like something like this is in your wheelhouse. Also, any @cncfambassadors in the environmental sustainment TAG know of some tooling?

How does KDE measure energy consumption and the #accessibility of its apps?
Pradyot Ranjan explains with a quick 4-video primer on Selenium AT-SPI, a tool used to automate tests of GUI applications.

I'm now working on fixing another small corner of climate change - inefficiency in #RSS #podcasting!
https://www.earth.org.uk/RSS-efficiency.html
One Android postcast app provider has already kindly tweaked theirs in response to my gentle enquiry, but so far #Apple and #Amazon - both polling at insane rates - have not rushed to fix up their servers similarly to follow basic netiquette! %-P

One of my colleagues is working on automating the powering down of our dev servers outside of working hours. So, we'll be saving energy on dev, test and staging servers for around 14 hours in every 24; 24 at weekends. Hero.
