Bonum Certa Men Certa

Some Site Statistics



Summary: A few numbers of interest, broken down by protocol

Owing to videos (for the most part), Techrights nowadays sends a lot of packets -- something between 1-3 TB of traffic a week, depending on the week. That's for HTTP/S alone. IPFS is about 80 GB a month for the origin node (where the originals come from, not the distributed copies/mirrors) and Gemini serves close to a quarter million pages a month (a lot less than HTTP/S with 10-20 million a month, depending on the month). In terms of number of blog posts, we're fast leaping towards a total of 32,000 (31,000 was a month ago and now we're at 31,261 already), probably to be reached some times before the end of the year; Techrights isn't the work of one person but of many people working collaboratively, many of them anonymously too (for reasons that are understandable). Much of the interaction is done on our self-hosted IRC network, whereas some needs to be done over encrypted channels. Our self-hosted IRC network continues to grow, with a maximum number of 61 simultaneous users already. All logs are shredded for good, permanenly, after less than a month.
