The bitcoin facilities become e-waste because they’re specialty ASIC hardware that are useful for guessing scam coin hashes and nothing else. These datacenters are still useful general purpose compute assets, even if we overbuild them.

When I started learning computers, it was because I thought I wanted to make video games. But once I actually started making video games, I kept gravitating toward netcode, config options, and dev tools.
So instead of grinding it out in video games, I went into devops.

Reflect on your dreams, factor them into your decisions, include them in your life, sure. But have the humility to consider that you have not already imagined every possible fulfilling path for your life.

This is real talk and a lot of people need to hear it. It also reflects the first chapter or two of one of my favorite development books ⬇️ - One of my more conservative (small C) views is that "follow your dreams" is a vapid cliche, and you DO have to be an active participant in your own survival.

It's not the per-service-account limit that's the problem, it's the account-wide limit.
