!Friendica Support In looking for a new home, I've noticed every server I looked at has had a drastic spike in latency. Is that due to an upgrade? Also, if I live stateside will I have significantly more lag if I join a European server?

According to fediverse observer https://friendica.fediverse.observer/opensocial.at . I assume it means times to transfer information if I read it right.

It should be the response time for the nodeinfo query. Have we added any processing to this page lately?

I don't see any CPU / RAM peaks in my logs.
But I know @Steffen K9 🐰 is monitoring his domain libranet.de more in detail and as far as I can see here https://friendica.fediverse.observer/libranet.de , he has the same spike in latency . Do you have any hints in your log ?

Well, I know that mine might be a bit laggy due to being on AT&T residential Internet and that I host my Peertube along with Friendica on a Kubernetes cluster and a couple of other things. So maybe some of the other nodes/servers owners are doing the same.

I can clearly see that massive rise in latency being plotted here too:
https://friendica.fediverse.observer/friendica.hubup.pro

But looking at the logs server side, there is no change and everything feels as responsive as usual.

Who is running running the observer? Have latency readings for non-Friendica nodes suddenly risen too, @Anubis2814 ?

Now that you mention yes, for Diaspora and Mastodon too. I think its a glitch on their side. Sorry I didn't think to look.

No bother at all @Anubis2814 .

What it shows again is that latency readings are relative and for practical purposes need to be treated with caution.

We had similar discussions before and found that latency readings tend to result in skewed comparisons between nodes. See here, including proposed solution: https://git.friendi.ca/friendica/friendica-directory/issues/4
