Are you serious, UK government? https://www.gov.uk/government/news/national-drought-group-meets-to-address-nationally-significant-water-shortfall

@nikitonsky Lol, they are really think that heating the water inside the datacenter will destroy it (the water)? 😄 [rhetoric question]I ever don't speak about CPUs as main units which need a cooling and which will be loaded even without your emails on the hard drive…

@evgandr @nikitonsky Sysadmin of a fleet containing liquid cooling here.Closed loop liquid cooling doesn't lose much water during normal operations, but datacenters using a nearby body of water heats up that body in a considerable amount. On top of that humidity balancing systems in dry climates inject a lot of water into datacenter air if the systems are air cooled.Your water inlet is ~20 degrees C and return water is at ~40 - ~45 degrees C. It's not nothing.

@bayindirh @nikitonsky Wow, it is interesting for me — from which source the water is coming and where is it going? :drgn_think: I know, that nuclear stations take water from special coolant pond(s) and return it in the same place. So, the temperature of water in these ponds are higher than in the usual pond or river and common fishes, algae and microorganisms can't settle in such conditions.And what is happening with water in the air of datacenters in dry climate? :drgn_think: The datacenter is hermit and superfluous water collected via the dryers and going to the next cycle in the system? Or it just evaporates in the Earth atmosphere as usual :drgn_think_science: ?

@evgandr@bsd.cafe @bayindirh@mastodon.sdf.org @nikitonsky@mastodon.onlineData centres using freshwater is actually considered quite a problem: https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2025-ai-impacts-data-centers-water-data/But of course emails are hardly the worst offender so this recommendation seems hypocritical to me. You know like when those who are telling you about "going green" arrive to another COP summit by private jets 😅

@m0xEE @evgandr @bayindirh @nikitonsky Emails causing tons of unnecessary water waste is a real issue if you're feeding them to power-hungry AI models.

@AnachronistJohn@zia.io @evgandr@bsd.cafe @nikitonsky@mastodon.online @bayindirh@mastodon.sdf.orgO-oh, I see!We have to immediately shut Reddit down then — save the planet! Where is Greta when I need her most? 😏

@m0xEE @AnachronistJohn @evgandr @nikitonsky Reddit is probably the biggest natural language conversation dataset on the planet right now, and many of its users are not aware of this fact.I'm not contributing there, anymore.
