But it is one we need consider. Their example of a bitcoining mining operation taking advantage of waste natural gas is pleasantly kind. I suppose even the hard core recognizes some degree of responisibility in that decision.
Their fundamental concern, in spite of their focus on the worst behaviors, applies to us all. Many LDAP users have real loads that can be satisfied on machines no bigger than the small form-factor and low wattage desktop cubes. Some would live nicely running an efficient LDAP server on a raspberry pi (44 requests of all types a second? Not much of a load).
Just something I think about when I look at the unobtainium-plated solutions so many of our clents stand up. It used to be that the hardware was scarce and expensive. It's getting to be that the energy is scarce and the physical and software tech is costing too much, rapidly becoming like the gas-guzzlers of the 1950s and 1960s. How soon will that surface and how will we react.
