Datacenter.computer’s public feed needs no API key. Locations are approximate; capacity is not live energy use.
What needs attention — and what needs an account

Available means the provider returned a valid packet, including a possible empty result. Stale means the latest refresh failed or the source marked older data. Curated means human-reviewed context. None of these labels guarantees completeness or independent verification.
Breaking flags are selected from recent upstream escalation signals and news-derived shipping assessments. Character commentary is scripted editorial personality. The four-step newsroom mood measures attention to those flags; it is not a probability of catastrophe.
