Matt BacchiAfter re:Invent I spent some time reading about serverless sustainability (both in general and specifically within AWS) and did a write up on the state of sustainability at the end of 2024. Great news: there are some interesting trends and tools to help you tailor your operations to be more carbon aware.Check out my blog at <a href="https://bacchi.org/posts/survey-serverless-sustainability" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://bacchi.org/posts/survey-serverless-sustainability</a><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/serverless" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#serverless</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/aws" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#aws</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/sustainability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sustainability</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/lambda" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#lambda</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/climate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#climate</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/greencomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#greencomputing</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/lowcarboncomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#lowcarboncomputing</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/greensoftware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#greensoftware</a>

Wim🧮Hi everyone, I am organising LOCO 2024, 1st International Workshop on Low Carbon Computing It's hybrid and will be held 3 Dec 2024, in Glasgow (Scotland) and on line. On line attendance is free; in person is £30Deadline 1 Oct (full talk)/ 8 Oct (lightning talk)Please consider submitting, whether you're academic or not, and please spread the word.<a href="https://www.sicsa.ac.uk/loco/loco2024/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.sicsa.ac.uk/loco/loco2024/</a><a href="https://scholar.social/tags/FrugalComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FrugalComputing</a> <a href="https://scholar.social/tags/LowCarbonComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LowCarbonComputing</a>

Wim🧮I have said this before, but here is the evidence: "visual differences between HD [1080p] and UHD [4K,8K] video were rarely noticeable by the subjects."These UHD formats are purely invented to sell more TVs. They do require much higher network bandwidths as well. So they contribute to growth of CO2 emissions for no subjective visual benefit.<a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s41233-019-0027-3" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s41233-019-0027-3</a><a href="https://scholar.social/tags/FrugalComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FrugalComputing</a> <a href="https://scholar.social/tags/LowCarbonComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LowCarbonComputing</a>

Wim🧮The British Computer Society made a series "Net Zero: A Digital Journey" <a href="https://netzerodigital.bcs.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://netzerodigital.bcs.org/</a>""" This digital series features stories from individuals and organisations across the IT industry who are pioneering change, ensuring that as society adopts digital solutions to the climate crisis, the industry itself reduces its own environmental footprint.
