"Why have we gotten to the point where we have permitted militaries of various states to use civilian commercial data centers for their military purposes?"
What percentage do you think accounts for that? Sure, some instances, but the largest absolutely are indatacenters.
But it’s a distraction. You ready to grow your own food? Immediately? Because losing datacenters means losing credit/debit cards. No cash because banks can’t connect to each other. No deliveries to stores. Society would literally fucking collapse.
But all these fucking idiots can do is ignorantly chant “destory all datacenters” because they don’t fucking know what they’re talking about.
I’ve seen society “collapse” in the wake of a natural disaster and literally no one cared that their cards stopped working. People just started sharing everything and if you tried to give someone cash they’d look at you like you just handed them a dead leaf you picked up off the ground. Community doesn’t just survive, but it thrives in the absence of capital and the state. Others I know who lived through it still talk about how they miss the sense of comraderie everyone had during the aftermath. When the power comes back on, banks reopen, and everyone goes back to work the community atomizes again and everyone is back to focusing on their own lives.
Society would not just survive the destruction of data centers, but in the long term would actually benefit. It would incentivize people to decentralize and democratize both data storage and compute, and the services that data centers currently provide would be better for it.
Do… you not realize that Hetzner is one of the larger server providers in existence? They have multiple datacenters because of all the servers - in multiple countries.

wooossshh yep and thus you would be the one in this discussion to disappear. The rest of us will continue just fine on other communities.
It’s never a good idea to choose the largest instance in the fediverse.
that slrpnk.net one is clearly describing something larger than a basement operation.
