Definitely the same tracks, definitely the same angle, looks like the same spot along the tracks. These shots are usually once or twice a year opportunities.
IIRC a dude goes and shoots here every year. And this looks like his work.
My guess would be that HTTP-GET requests were collected and the information about the OS was extracted.
If this would be true, the reason of this spike could be that one big browser randomly decided to not send OS information in GET requests and then the “bug?” was found and fixed.
This is really fascinating to me. It would be interesting to see each country set up their own Mastodon/Lemmy/Kbin/other federated systems and have those instances constantly talk to each other. Like others have commented, It seems like a great way to keep the communication style and interaction of twitter/facebook, while also protecting the validity of the information through private instances. Really smart decision.
I’d be interested to see other organisations get involved too. For instance, instead of every news website having their own comments section, why not set up a Lemmy instance? They could post links to their articles and users can comment with their Fediverse account, posting could be limited to users from that server, and sign-up could be restricted to people who work there.
There are a lot of ways they could handle it. Imagine the New York Times or similar organizations with their own customized Mastodon for live updates and Lemmy for linking to articles and for searching. Mastodon being the free to follow and the Lemmy/main site being subscription to make an account and comment.
Wow, I never thought about this, but this is probably pretty good to have right? Might be a good way to find info about something if their sites are really confusing etc possibly
