Compared to last year we had more than 100x the users on [@foss_public_alert_server](https://floss.social/@foss_public_alert_server ) for this year's national alert test in Germany. And it showed the same bottlenecks we had already seen during the recent heat waves: notification delivery is slowed down and eventually stalls entirely due to about 40% going to push servers that rate limit under such conditions. Mozilla's and #KDE's push servers carried the bulk of the notifications, without hitting limits.

On the way back home from joining the FOSSGIS Verein (npub18x8…fzxm) Community Meeting at Linuxhotel in Essen for two days, for working on various organizational details for the Open Transport 2026 (npub13py…9w0z) conference.

We should be able to open the registration soon, later than originally anticipated but at least we wont have to run a 100+ attendee conference as a few individuals without a legal entity behind this anymore.

Experimenting with adding international flights to Transitous (npub1c64…jwxh). Performance seems to hold up and we indeed get working multi-modal door-to-door routing from e.g. Brussels to Tokyo.

There's a few issues with the router cheating around minimum transfer times that need to be sorted out before this could be deployed though.
