[Talk-ca] openstreetmap.org tile rendering unreliable

[Martin Chalifoux]

It now seems to be an issue with the latest release of Safari, which came last week. To test things I installed Firefox and I do not see the same issue with that browser. I will look further into it.

DSL connections are usually more robust but if you have a neighbour who watches 4k video that could impact you.  Also if you watch 4k video yourself then there is a risk your connection will be throttled to give others a chance.

Tiles takes  very long to render and sometimes simply don’t (timeout I guess).I have a hard time figuring if this is an issue with my setup (MacOS, latest Safari) or issues with the servers that are perhaps overloaded or defective. I have in the past seen the occasional slowness but now it is just unusable. If I use another rendering engine such as https://www.osmap.fr <https://www.osmap.fr/> <https://www.osmap.fr <https://www.osmap.fr/>> or works fine, but that service has it own tiles and does nor rely on openstreetmap,org for rendering. Just let me know if the issues I see with the main OSM site are just mine or something that affect everybody. Thank you.
