One of my other interests is sustainability. So I thought I would take a
look at what https://www.websitecarbon.com/ thought of some of the
websites associated with the project - just the home page of each.
tribblix.org - A+ - 0.00g CO2 per visit (actually 0.002g, I think)
better than 100% of all websites
openindiana.org - A+ - 0.01g CO2 per visit
better than 99% of all websites
illumos.org - A+ - 0.04g CO2 per visit
better than 96% of all websites
smartos - A - - 0.17g CO2 per visit
better than 83% of all websites
omnios.org - B - 0.28g CO2 per visit
better than 69% of all websites
oxide - C - 0.38g CO2 per visit
better than 61% of all websites
The methodology is pretty suspect, but overall we're a lot better than most
of the websites out there.
In isolation, you can't take the numbers too seriously, but they provide
food
for thought.
Both the omnios and oxide scores are pulled down by not being hosted
someplace that uses a renewable source of electricity (at least, so far as
websitecarbon can tell). And even looking at the oxide home page, it's
pretty
big (but that isn't necessarily bad, there's a lot of information and
there's also
a design tradeoff between having multiple small pages and a few large ones).
I think I've managed to get the Tribblix website adequately lightweight!

I guess there's something to be said for having written the front page
HTML by hand! I'm sure if you point it at, say, the bug tracker, it
probably costs a lot more.
Cheers.

Years ago I implemented an HTTP parser in C for a small embedded web
server. It was a pain to say the least. Parsing ASCII text must be the
most inefficient way to implement any sort of protocol. I often
wondered how much networking and processing bandwidth could be saved if
SMTP, HTTP, HTML, XML, JavaScript, and other ASCII constructs were
allowed to die peacefully and people moved on to binary only protocols.

Considering that I am using the heavy CSS framework tailwindcss for
openindiana.org without any optimization at all I am happy about that
result. Hetzner Finland seems to have a good Carbon score then. Good to
know the whole CI is also carbon friendly then.
PR for improvements to the Website gladly welcome here:
