Fershad Irani - Writing

It's been a while since I've blogged about the topic of website carbon emissions estimation, measurement, and all that.

Possibly the longest blog post title evvvveeeer!

As a bit of a side quest for work, I've been digging into the idea of a tech stack that's divorced from US big tech companies, with content and data being hosted on European infrastructure.

Last year I attended TPAC 2025 in Kobe.

I recently learnt about the closure of CarbonRunner, a service that aimed to enable running of continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) in the cleanest available region (in terms of grid carbon intensity).

I understand this might be a bit late for a year in review.

Lol these monthly posts are consistently getting done later in the month.

One of the things I learnt at TPAC 2025 is that the Chromium Issue Tracker (also known as "CRBUG") is a thing.

This morning I wrote about how back in 2014/15 we almost had power profiling land in the Chromium DevTools.

Earlier this month, I had the pleasure of attending the W3C's annual TPAC meeting.
