How much time before someone figures these infrastructures make very good targets for vandalism? I risk I will see datacenters destroyed by mobs and other actors before I die.
It’s not vandalism, it’s direct action. Or sabotage, if you consider this to be a time of war (which it undoubtedly is — a class war). Don’t use the enemy’s language against ourselves.
In theory we have elected representatives looking out for their constituents. Surely they would limit water use so this wouldn’t happen, and prevent the datacenters from relying on generators while waiting for power hookup, right? Oh, a red state. Never mind
In my country, I know of two cases of datacenters that use waste water. And another is supposed to run on salt water, in the future. Those cases don’t trouble me.
You should look them up. They forced the closure of two factories owned by Elbit Systems and forced Barclay’s Bank to divest from Elbit through sustained sabotage actions. They were actually incredibly successful at disrupting the Israeli genocide machine, which is the real reason for their proscription - not for their latest action at Brize Norton, as the government and mainstream media would have you believe.

please start with grok.
Allow me to use whatever words I want.
On this specific example, I’ll even call it constructive vandalism. It will pass on a very loud message.

Some time ago i passed near a famous e-commerce warehouse and the place was surrounded by a 4 meter tall fence and a moat.
Man the trebuchets!
Why would you think they make good targets for vandalism? A major data center would have very restricted physical access.
If Palestine Action can break into RAF bases and destroy Israeli weapons factories, what makes you think a data center will be better defended?
Palestine Action spray-painted some stuff. They didn’t “destroy Israeli weapons factories”, that’s rather hyperbolic.

Spoken like a person with no imagination or access to drones. Has Ukraine’s R&D taught you nothing?
I don’t doubt many are even built to not be easily noticeable amidst its surroundings but many are as discreet as a sore thumb.
It’s either a mater of numbers or strategy.
