HamVerBot VS cloud-carbon-footprint

Greetings, I’m working on my first “real” Rust project which is an IRC bot for the #f1 channel on Libera. All it does is post the results of a race into the channel. You can find the code at: https://github.com/obviyus/hamverbot

It’s my first time building something async in Rust and using Tokio so I’d love to have some experienced Crustacean eyeballs on it. Please feel free to drop suggestions, pull requests or general advice for working with Rust.

Cheers.

Stumbled upon this GitHub repo that seems to be only usable for JavaScript / typescript type use cases. (https://github.com/cloud-carbon-footprint/cloud-carbon-footprint) was wondering if anyone knew of a similar package for python to calculate carbon emissions for AWS resources

I'm not sure if the AWS SDK has any integration with that service, but there are some open source projects already doing a similar thing. https://github.com/cloud-carbon-footprint/cloud-carbon-footprint

ThoughtWorks made an app that does this: https://github.com/cloud-carbon-footprint/cloud-carbon-footp... but mainly works with aws, azure, and gcp

You might be interested in the methodology page cloudcarbonfootprint.org/docs/methodology/

The emissions are derived from billing. The billing-to-CO2 coefficients are debated by the Cloud Carbon Footprint community (and overridable if needed). You can find more infos on the project methodology page, and contribute to their Github project or Google Group.

There are a lot of open-source projects where one can contribute; I like the list maintained at https://opensustain.tech/. It’s a long list, so might make sense to focus on a specific sector one might be interested in and projects that can use your existing experience (e.g. in a particular language). A few projects that I think are amazing are OpenAQ which maintains an open API and open data on air quality and levels of pollutants; the Linux Foundation Energy projects like Grid eXchange Fabric that has a lot of applications in green energy (e.g. solar microgrids, load management, etc.); and the Cloud Carbon Footprint tool mentioned in another question, used to estimate the carbon emissions of cloud applications.
