There was recently a CCC talk [1] about sustainability of software,... there was mentioned, streaming a video is almost as toxic as driving 20 km forth and back.
For sure, this is super vague, but i guess it's still good to consider all those internet traffic. local internet-caching could be a good solution to keep things more regional...
He is such a inspiring legend, shining beside Edward and the other fighting friends, for freedom and a better world.
I love Aaron for his spirit and the mission he lived.
For anyone, who hasn't seen the documentary [1], I can recommend it!
Good to be remembered to some of his goals:
„We need to buy secret databases and put them on the Web. We need to download scientific journals and upload them to file sharing networks.“ [2]
I independently came up with the same thing about journals but instinctively knew better. I looked at the financial reports for a major one to confirm or reject the instinct. All I can say is "Holy shit. We're not buying that any time soon."
Thanks for the documentary link, though. I'll check it out.
