Not that slow. It's certainly a bit faster than, say, VTE, and maybe even quicker than Wezterm, Kitty just feels faster when rendering editors or TUIs with a lot happening...
Shocker, but a lot of psychological damage can be done before you leave school. Do children really not have value, except as far as they become adults?
> Do children really not have value, except as far as they become adults?
Of course they do, which is why any sane (imo) parent wouldn't let their child on social media to begin with. Basically feeding your child's developing brain into the dopamine farm, along with the "it's on the internet forever" tax.
Social media is a cancer, not some bizare tool for their social or economic wellbeing or general happiness.
While I agree that the most popular social media systems have been engineered to be extremely harmful, and something I would seek to protect the children under my care from, this is unrelated to the comment I was responding to. "This won't feel important when you're an adult" is a really bad argument.
If you truncate a file it doesn't update metadata. That's how you can get back space for the journal log to start cleaning up crap without rebooting the box and/or taking services down.

This is the problem.
These are mostly old office buildings.
They are not designed to supply that much electricity and water on each floor. These racks and equipment also weigh a lot and the building floors and building itself probably isn't rated for that.
Not only that, but to get the buildings themselves more electricity and water often requires a very expensive process of digging up possibly multiple streets, with associated costs and permitting.
In addition to the water delivery issue, there's power delivery. It may not even be possible to get that building enough power in the next decade or more, because there simply may not be enough power generation capability.
Basically, a lot of the same problems that exist when trying to turn an old office building into high rise apartments, but magnified many times over.
Around here they are cutting down forests. Sometimes even protected forests without getting permits, trying to beg for forgiveness after the fact.
They don't need to maximize every inch of the building, if that means less capacity then so be it.
As far as water and power, that's why I mentioned in cities that already have capacity. Or at least the ability to run new lines without digging up the roads, because they have tunnels for such things.
