There used to be an analysis of xmpp server hosting locations, where 40%(?) of european servers ran at Hetzer. Does it still exist?

Note that the analysis was complete bullshit
Daniel
But I can probably go dig it up if it's important

Not really, I just wanted to have a rough estimate of provider concentration. I can do a dump of my s2s connections and run them through whois easily enough.

I'm curious as to the reasons for a complete bullshit analysis on this subject being created and floating around.
Guus
Was this some kind of marketing thing by Hetzer?
Daniel
It was a bad faith analysis to discredit XMPP. It was done by folks who on their website are extremely pro Signal.
The server list was retrieved from the compliance tester (only the public list for people who opted in to make the server public)
They checked the A records of the domains not actually connect to it. That's why conversations.im for example showed up as hetzner even though it's not hosted there

So it only tells you that the compliance tested is popular in Germany / Europe
Daniel
Which doesn't tell you anything about XMPP

thanks

Ironically someone else did this on Mastodon. (probably not bad faith) originally got similar results because their sample list was BS. Then they subsequently tried to get a better sample and then the results improved to were there was no Clear 'winner'
Daniel
Obviously big cheap providers are big and cheap. But there is also quite a few of them
Which doesn't tell you a lot about the public xmpp server... ✎

MattJ
Yes, it's not about public XMPP servers
MattJ
The spike is Dreamhost's shared hosting service, which has been around a long time and include(s|d) XMPP

bad faith or not, hetzner is rather dominant.

maybe fetching the first line of `desc:` from whois was not such a good idea. I've ssen two personal names of regulars from this room scrolling by already ;)

so counted together, hetzner is >20% of xmpp servers that talk to yax.im

fwiw, I doubt that Openfire has such a bias towards Hetzner. Maybe I could do a heatmap of geolocated IPs from update checks, or somesuch. Results wouldn't be affected by federation, but by installation base. That in itself isn't any indicator of a server's popularity, so... yeah. Statistics.

The thing is, Hetzner is a popular hosting provider, that's all

MattJ
It's not something about XMPP, it's something about where people mostly get their servers when they want to run stuff
goffihas joined
MattJ
Everything not on smaller providers like Hetzner is on larger providers like Amazon and... guess where Signal servers run
Guus
people that are on servers that connect to Ge0rG's server, that is.
Alex
agree with Matt, and they have some tutorials which makes it simple to get up a server and running using their servives.

If someone wants to get a real number for the public federated network they can subscribe to the firehose that is the certificate transparency logs and try to connect to each domain via s2s, for a 3 month period

Still a possibility to miss some where the domain is *.bob.com and the XMPP server is at aoeu.bob.com but you'd get most
