Indeed a severe case of paranoia?

1. Create a new post. 2. Include an Image, set filter to All File types and select "/etc/hosts". 3. You get served with an weird error message box displacing a weird error message. 4. After this the Substack posts editor is broken. Heck, every time i access the Dashboard, it waits forever to build the page.

Did find this text while browsing the source for an error (see original ascii art: https://pastebin.com/iBDsuer7):

SUBSTACK WANTS YOU

Number are wrong. Just trying on topic. Data centers and AI realty consumes a lot more resources that you article poses.

Norway is a Petrostate. Nuff said.

Note on Hydro power. This may change in the future when water supply runs out due to climate heat up. They might resort to using pumps to fill the reservoirs like other countries do (it's not all green). Also depending on a certain high oil price, the use of pumps to fill the reservoirs can be a business model.
