The Staggering #Ecological Impacts of Computation and the #Cloud
Anthropologist Steven Gonzalez illustrates some of the diverse #environmental impacts of data storage.
by Steven Gonzalez Monserrate
Excerpt: "#TheCloud now has a greater #CarbonFootprint than the airline industry. A single #DataCenter can consume the equivalent electricity of 50,000 homes. At 200 terawatt hours (TWh) annually, data centers collectively devour more energy than some nation-states. Today, the electricity utilized by data centers accounts for 0.3 percent of overall #CarbonEmissions, and if we extend our accounting to include networked devices like laptops, smartphones, and tablets, the total shifts to 2 percent of global carbon emissions.
"Why so much energy? Beyond cooling, the energy requirements of data centers are vast. To meet the pledge to customers that their data and cloud services will be available anytime, anywhere, data centers are designed to be hyper-redundant: If one system fails, another is ready to take its place at a moment’s notice, to prevent a disruption in user experiences. Like Tom’s air conditioners idling in a low-power state, ready to rev up when things get too hot, the data center is a Russian doll of redundancies: redundant power systems like diesel generators, redundant servers ready to take over computational processes should others become unexpectedly unavailable, and so forth. In some cases, only 6 to 12 percent of energy consumed is devoted to active computational processes. The remainder is allocated to cooling and maintaining chains upon chains of redundant fail-safes to prevent costly downtime."

**Some thoughts on Moodle and other LMSes in 2025**
Read it on my blog, it has a nicer image/text layout.
I have used Moodle long, long ago – I think the last time in 2010 (as a content/course designer). I didn’t like it much then. It felt too spartan.
Then I worked for some time in BlackBoard (2012-2022), TalentLMS (2013-now) and briefly in Canvas (2015).
Blackboard felt more polished than Moodle. Maybe because I was using cloud hosted version with enterprise support. BB’s social feed is also nice.
In 2013 I started using (cloud based) TalentLMS and designed/transferred all courses I was selling/providing. I still use TalentLMS for flagship courses for companies. Not sure for how long.
TalentLMS is very easy to use LMS with just enough functionalities. I was always happy with their support and never experienced downtime. I would probably stick with it forever if … year 2022/23 didn’t happen.
TalentLMS redesigned their packages (and pricing) and suddenly I was paying 2x as much as earlier. The subscription is tied to number of users and levels of functionalities. Last year they also jumped on AI train and started offering AI/LLM assistants for course preparation.
Sure, I’m not forced to use AI tools. Nevertheless, I felt it is time to leave this story behind.
I reevaluated the current LMS market and 2 months ago I decided to try Moodle again. This time – from the scratch. Sounds crazy? Why would anyone in their right mind leave the comfort of cloud based LMS and take the technical tinkering path?
I don’t know, I just knew I wanted to do it.
So I did.
Firstly, I installed Moodle to my Proxmox server from Turnkey’s Moodle template. The installation was dead easy, click, click, click, voila. Moodle 3.5 was up and running in no time.
But then I wanted to upgrade it to 4.5. I fought with for a few days, then I gave up. I couldn’t find the way to upgrade it.
Then I started from scratch. Installed Ubuntu LXC on Proxmox and followed Moodle installation instructions. MariaDB, Apache, latest Moodle 4.5.
40 or 50 steps. I fought 2 weeks with various details, securing Moodle, optimizing web server, configuring messaging etc. In the meantime an issue with a new router and slow resolution of DNS happened.
At last, I think I made it. First two courses are already (almost) ready. There are no errors in logs. UI feels snappy.
It is true that everything in Moodle needs extra attention. While in TalentLMS I didn’t need to think about messaging, digital badges, certificates etc, Moodle requires dealing with separate plugins.
There is absoultely TOO MUCH possibilities and functions. It requires quite an effort to make a course simple enough not to overwhelm the participants. But I have a great team this time who already built courses in Moodle and they help me a lot.
What is most interesting is I FOUND A BUG. Really, while using basic functionalities (duplicating learning activities) the digital badges started to multiply like rabbits. Suddenly, there was 98000 digital badges in my course! I reported a bug and the power of FOSS community showed in all its glory. Now I can track the resolving of the bug in Moodle bug tracker and it looks like the fix will be available in the next major release 5.0.
I almost couldn’t believe it – Moodle is an old software (147 000 active installations, 430M users, 50M courses), I’m using it for 1 month and BAM, I found a bug. Not sure if I’m happy or dissapointed about this. Probably both.
Building online courses
If I put aside technical challenges, I must say that I like Moodle’s capabilities very much. Yes, it has TOO MUCH possibilites, but at the same time, it allows very fine grained control of everything: access to learning resources, scoring, designing own scoring rubrics, and most importantly… plugins and themes!
I found some nice plugins for automatic issuing of attendance certificates (PDFs) with verification system (‘Custom Certificate‘).
I like Union boost Theme too (because I can theme every course category with a different page layout and graphic design).
Moreover H5P plugin adds interactivity (HTML5+JS) I was looking for. For example, drag&drop interactive tests and similar.
I’m also using registration plugins (built-in self-enrollment). Yes, even user registration can be modified.
I had some issues with built-in WYSIWYG editors. TinyMCE wasn’t happy with my iframe includes of videos/presentations. So I just switched to built in Atto HTML editor, which is not so strict and now my embedded content works as it should.
I feel I didn’t even scratched the surface regarding the basic functions and plugins.
Yesterday I got an email a new version of Moodle is available (4. 5. 2.). I relived bad experiences with my first upgrade attempt and I’m a bit nervous to update it. I’m asking myself:
Why Moodle can’t have a click-click-click update system, like normal people?
I need quite a lot of mental energy and focus to do their ‘just git or download, copy folders, run something in cmd‘ update procedure.
TL;DR
Should you take this path (building Moodle server from scratch)? If you like technical tinkering and challenges, yes, of course.
But if you just want to build online courses, then probably not. In such cases you better look for hosted Moodle options. Didn’t explore this option much, but what I saw there is a lot of companies that offer Moodle hosting.

I enjoy #selfhosted #nextcloud ... in a miniPC next to my home router:
such a source code made #art .
I started with since the times of the original Owncloud... when the #fork happened.
YeAH such an inspiring move.
Today it is also powering e-learning & #education in #madrid 's public schools , partnering with #moodle #LMS .

What’s your favorite plugin/platform for a membership-based online social and learning community? I have a small student organization that could use a place to share educational materials, discussions, personal experiences, etc.
I’m not sure if I should focus on the social, with something like BBPress, or if there’s a LMS system that would do better (just learned about Fluent Community but haven’t tried it yet). I’m familiar with the #WordPress ecosystem but am open to other self-hosted options too.
Pleased to share that our paper "Language models, like humans, show content effects on reasoning tasks" is now published in PNAS Nexus!

Nice. Unter https://stream.sunshine-live.de/ sind alle Stream-URLs von #sunshineLive ausgelistet. Gleich mal einige zu meinen #LMS-Favoriten hinzufügen.
Fürs Multiroom-Audio-System habe ich heute testweise einen alten #RaspberryPi Model B mit #piCorePlayer bestückt und bin weiterhin total begeistert, wie einfach und fluffig der piCorePlayer in Kombination mit dem #LMS funktioniert. Einfach SD-Karte rein, Boxen ran, mit dem Netzwerk und der Steckdose verbinden und abtanzen.
PS: Der LMS wurde kürzlich übrigens von #Logitech Music Server in #Lyrion Music Server umbenannt.
