#Suomi on 5. isoin fediversumipalveluntarjoaja 75 IP:llä. Vain yksi IP:istä on #Helsinki n ulkopuolella (hyvä #Porvoo!).

Olis kiva nähdä lisää hajautettuja palvelimia, esim. #Espoo #Tampere #Vantaa #Oulu #Turku #Jyväskylä #Kuopio #Lahti #Pori #Joensuu #Kouvola #Lappeenranta #Vaasa #Hämeenlinna #Seinäjoki.

Asutko muualla kuin Helsingissä ja haluatko auttaa? Osta käytetty #RaspberryPi -tietokone (~20-50 €), asenna kotipalvelin ja osta sille domain-osoite (~5-20 €/vuosi).

discuss.systemsRob Ricci (@ricci@discuss.systems)With bluesky (mostly) going down for a few hours today, I got to wondering about how decentralized the fediverse really is in terms of where its servers are hosted. I grabbed a server list from fedidb, with network information coming from ipinfo.io . [EDIT: I did a better analysis on a dataset of 10x as many servers, see https://discuss.systems/@ricci/114400324446169152 ] These stats are by the number of *servers* not the number of *users* (maybe I'll run those stats later). fedidb currently tracks 2,650 servers of various types (Mastodon, pixelfed, lemmy, misskey, peertube, etc) The fediverse is most vulnerable to disruptions at CloudFlare: 24% of Fediverse servers are behind it. Also note that this means that I don't have real data on where this 24% are located or hosted, since CloudFlare obscures this by design. Beyond CloudFlare, the fediverse is not too concentrated on any one network. The most popular host, Hertzner, only hosts 14% of fediverse servers, and it falls off fast from there. Here are the top networks where fediverse servers are hosted: 504 Cloudflare, Inc. 356 Hetzner Online GmbH 130 DigitalOcean, LLC 114 OVH SAS 56 netcup GmbH 55 Amazon.com, Inc. 55 Akamai Connected Cloud 36 Contabo GmbH 33 SAKURA Internet Inc. 32 The Constant Company, LLC 31 Xserver Inc. 28 SCALEWAY S.A.S. 24 Google LLC 23 Oracle Corporation 16 GMO Internet Group, Inc. 14 IONOS SE 14 FranTech Solutions 11 Hostinger International Limited 10 Nubes, LLC Half of fediverse servers are on networks that host 50 or fewer servers - that's pretty good for resiliency. There is even more diversity when it comes to BGP prefixes, which is good for resiliency: for example, the cloud providers that have multiple availability zones will generally have them on different prefixes, so this gets closer to giving us a picture of the specific bits of infrastructure the fediverse relies on. The top BGP prefixes: 55 104.21.48.0/20 50 104.21.16.0/20 48 104.21.64.0/20 41 104.21.32.0/20 41 104.21.0.0/20 38 104.21.80.0/20 32 172.67.128.0/20 31 172.67.144.0/20 28 172.67.208.0/20 28 162.43.0.0/17 27 104.26.0.0/20 26 172.67.192.0/20 26 172.67.176.0/20 23 172.67.160.0/20 19 116.203.0.0/16 17 172.67.64.0/20 17 159.69.0.0/16 16 65.109.0.0/16 14 88.99.0.0/16 14 49.13.0.0/16 13 78.46.0.0/15 13 167.235.0.0/16 13 138.201.0.0/16 11 95.217.0.0/16 11 95.216.0.0/16 11 49.12.0.0/16 11 135.181.0.0/16 10 37.27.0.0/16 10 157.90.0.0/16 75% of fediverse servers are behind BGP prefixes that host 10 or fewer servers, meaning that the fediverse is *very* resilient to large network outages. Top countries where fediverse servers are hosted: 871 United States 439 Germany 156 France 148 Japan 75 Finland 57 Canada 49 Netherlands 38 United Kingdom 26 Switzerland 26 South Korea 21 Spain 19 Sweden 18 Austria 17 Australia 15 Russia 12 Czech Republic 10 Singapore 10 Italy And finally, a map of the locations of fediverse servers: https://ipinfo.io/tools/map/91960023-e8c6-4bee-9b07-721f2c8febab

Helsinki jyräsi uhanalaiset kalanpoikaset, vaikka avi edellytti kutupaikkojen selvittämistä ja asiantuntija viesti vuoden

Helsingin kaupunki ei osaa sanoa, mikä meni vikaan, kun kalatien rakennus­projektissa päädyttiin tuhoamaan erittäin uhanalaisen meritaimenen poikasia.

I'll never get tired of Helsinki Central Library Oodi. It was built as a present to people when Finland turned 100 a couple of years ago. It's across from the parliament so the power keepers would not who they work for. It has 3D printers, lazer cutters, sewing machines, instruments, audio and music studios, workspaces, and of course, a ton of books, all free to use and borrow with your library card. It's such a treat, so awesome values (the first picture is from the stairs where they have written who is welcome to Oodi - everyone), great symbolism, and neat things to do. And exceptional architecture!

Kirsikankukat selvisivät rajusta karsinnasta – Roihuvuoren Hanami laajenee yötapahtumaksi

Kukat menetettiin osin alaoksilta, mutta tuhoisa karsinta ei näyttäisi aiheuttaneen peruuttamatonta vahinkoa. Hanami-juhla laajentuu, nyt tapahtumassa voi käydä jopa yöllä.
