The link claims we could save "100kWh per day" and there is a dataset provided (I didn't dig in that yet)

- DamonHD 2y agoI am trying to better assess this number as part of an arXiv paper I am putting together. Maybe even this weekend! RSS/podcast feed polling is a load for which Apple/Amazon/Spotify/Podbean are currently wasting 99%+ of the network and CPU bandwidth for, and thus money and carbon emissions. Many of the creators have limited budgets, and reaching Net Zero is not going to happen by ignoring really easy cases such as this, albeit small in the overall scheme of things.
- djbusby 2y agoWell, I like the link you already posted and expect to see the arXiv one posted to HN as well. I have a home-brew solution for pulling feeds and will be cross reference with your info. One small impact!
