in preparation for my upcoming class on @coldtype at @coopertypeType@Cooper, i made this... uh... remix of the ipa vowel chart?

more than anything it was an excuse to use the brill typefaces by @TiroTypeworks (and led to me fixing some issues with glyph clustering in coldtype) and the ipa vowel audio files from wikipedia

code for the video is here: github.com/coldtype/coldtype/b
registration for the class is here (starts feb 11!): coopertype.org/events/type-sou

自己紹介(2025/04/28版)

早期退職した電子技術者。在職中はセンサや無線のフロントエンドとシステム設計が得意だった一方、人の管理は大の苦手でした。退職後、組み込み系に目覚めて遊んでいます。
工作とともにアウトドアと旅とオフ会が趣味でしたが、肺MALTomaとNTM症(M.kansasii)と続発性気胸と腎がんなどを相次いで患って遠のき、現在は肺と腎臓の機能低下を抱えつつ食い止めて経過観察中です。若い頃は3000m級の山を走っていたのに、いまや平地でも酸素カートを引いてます(とほほ)。読書とラジオと料理は生活の一部。あと、ラグビー観戦が好きです。
ハンドルネームは、カヤックの「パドル」と学生時代に「ラッパみたいにやかましい」と言われていたのを合体させたもので、NIFTY-Serve以来30年ぐらい使ってます。
ずっとTwitterをしていましたが、諸々あってこちらに移りました:pado.tea-nifty.com/top/2023/04

ps. mstdn(.)jpでずっと遊んでいましたが、度々システムトラブルが生じるのでこちらに引っ越してきました。

Kudos to @ricciRob Ricci for doing a deep dive into answering two questions:

How decentralized fediverse really is?

discuss.systems/@ricci/1143963

And what would happen if government tried to seize fediverse domains?

Rob 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

Chuck Schumer, leader of the opposition in the Senate: "We sent [Trump] a very strong letter just the other day asking eight very strong questions."

Just kill me now.

At least my senior senator, Dick "Strong Letter" Durbin, is retiring.
