Yes we should. Security through obscurity is a myth
Doh, thinking about it through that lens makes it obvious!
Readit NewsPeople used to get really upset about such datasets because terrorism/vandalism/etc. But eventually more sane opinions prevailed as attackers don't use this type of data - they either have insider knowledge already or just drive around to scope out targets.
DHS now publishes a ton of open datasets to help with disaster planning, emergency response, and infrastructure hardening. https://hifld-geoplatform.opendata.arcgis.com/search?collect...

Should we be marking key infrastructure, utilities don't distribute this information for a reason.
The Denver Post is $6 for an entire year.

tragic opportunism to throw partisanship in with the upset
"do something now" is fine to say but the Devil is in the details, as they say. Actions have re-actions and ripple effects. Wise management is what got "us" here today ?
humble yourself then work with all your might, seems appropriate now
Just because we messed it up in the past doesn't mean we didn't learn from it and can't adapt our strategies in the future as new data comes in.
Changing nothing is the most harmful strategy right now.

Take a lesson from the American Rockies, where forests are being decimated by a similar beetle blight:
issue prescribed fires, institute managed but aggressive proactive logging on public lands, institute maintenance of fire roads, and spring cleanup of deadfall... _now_.
Unfortunately, 'environmentalists' thumbed their nose to a lot of these practices and the result was half of Rocky Mountain National Park burning down.
This really pissed me off. Half of the trees in RMNP were/are dead standing since the Park Service had put out all natural fires for a century and did not allow logging of the dead wood. We hit the point where the fuel situation is so bad that fires are no longer controllable, and the fires burn so much hotter that it permanently scars the land by burning seeds that usually would make it through just fine.
I'm a moderator on the site and I've worked a bit on the client and know the admins/developers. Currently the client you see on that github (https://github.com/OurSources/owop-client) is mostly up to date, but the current server is private. The server is written in C++ and uses synchronous disk operations, which makes it quite slow when lots of people are online like right now. A rewritten and improved version of the site should come out by the end of the year.
The server runs in a single thread, so it's not really possible for two websocket messages to come in at the same time. One edit will come before the other, and the later edit is the one that everyone will see.
It would be interesting to see some stats on what you guys are see performance wise, how much storage the project takes up, and what framework you are using. Honestly you guys have a lot of head room for speed improvements.
Btw the server implementation I could find was archived?

Looks like a lot of it can be attributed to covid.
Edit: That minute includes going through the "Press X for Y services" menu.
