Tropical islands are turning their biggest challenge into their greatest strength.
Vulnerable to climate change and dependent on expensive fossil fuels, island nations are proving that carbon neutrality by 2050 is economically viable. Solar PV is leading the charge, with innovative Solar-to-X tech converting sunshine into e-fuels and e-chemicals to power hard-to-decarbonize sectors.

The Greenland sea cables are probably being closely monitored, but redundancy seems minimal likely limited to OneWeb satellite connectivity and some VSAT links.
Looking at the routing side, AS8818 announces just two /19s and one /22 (and two /32s in IPv6) with a single upstream provider, Level 3 Inc. This suggests that Layer 3 redundancy is even more constrained.
I would have expected at least one EU-based provider as an additional upstream...

Warum SEO oft an der IT scheitert
SEO scheitert selten am Algorithmus, sondern an der Umsetzung.
Top Content, saubere Struktur, gute Analysen bringen nichts, wenn Entwickler nicht abgeholt werden.
Häufige Gründe:

• Audit-PDFs ohne Umsetzung
• SEO-Sprache statt Tech-Sprache
• keine klare Verantwortung
Ein gutes SEO-Ticket ist kein PDF, sondern klar, technisch verständlich & direkt umsetzbar.

This has allowed me to make clear something that's been at the back of my mind. Something that is at the heart of so much blind stupidity in big tech.
It's the assumption that we will change one thing and all else will be the same.
In this case, we will fire lots and lots of employees all over the world and we will make lots of profit. We're smart enough to make the AI, and we're dumb enough to think that there will only be one consequence. 1/n
