"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?"
Very little negative impact on the average person, low staff numbers, frees up water and electricity for the people. Personally, I can’t think of a better target.
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.
That’s take down Reddit and a whole host of other websites and know what, I’m for it. Teach these fucks a lesson on building up actual redundancy or diversification.

Not muh corporate internet!
We’d all be better off with less of it.
Because of Russian datacenter? Maybe lemmy. Ml…
Idiots keep saying “destroy all datacenters” and then comments like yours not keeping up with any sense of context.
I’m ok with Amazon’s data centers going down too. The internet has grown far too centralized anyway.
It’s wild that the Internet was designed to be decentralized, then…
Corporate response: “Let’s get rid of all our on-prem stuff and put it in the same place as everyone else”.
It’s corporations. Corporations did this.
Corporations would always rather responsibility be taken on by other parties. Here it is managing their servers.
Once upon a time, a huge number of internet sites were on-premises. Then centralization became cheaper and companies said “fuck that”.
You see it now with research institutions going cloud computer…
Sure, it’s less robust, but line must go up.
