Let visitors tick providers (Yandex, IXcellerate, RTK-DC, Sber, …) and
get the usual 5×5 card made of only those providers' datacenters, first
25 in ranking order, with lines scored as normal. A selection with fewer
than 25 sites leaves the rest of the card empty, so the card is always
5×5. Each provider chip shows crossed/total for the current view.
Datacenters get a provider slug, backfilled from the free-text operator,
guessed for new rows and editable in the admin. Filtered URLs are
noindex with canonical to the plain card.

Everything lived on one URL per language, with each datacenter's
details and incidents inside a <dialog>. That page can rank for the
brand and a couple of head terms, but not for searches like
"Yandex Sasovo drone strike".
Add /:locale/dc/:slug for every datacenter, reserve included. Each page
has its own title (naming the latest incident when there is one), a
description built from the facts, canonical and hreflang links, the
photo as og:image, and JSON-LD Place + BreadcrumbList. It shows the
facts in a sentence or two, the incident list with sources, and
prev/next links by position. The slug never changes, so the URLs are
stable.
The card cells are now links to these pages. A plain click still opens
the dialog, while modified clicks open the page. The dialog and the
incident log link to the page too, and the sitemap lists every page in
all three languages. The layout takes title, description, alternates
and JSON-LD from the route, and the dialog and the page share the meta
and incident partials.

og:image pointed at the 1200px WebP dialog variant: no declared size,
a 16:9 frame that link previews crop unpredictably, and WebP isn't
rendered by every preview client. The alt text was just the site name.
Photo variants now include <slug>-<hex>-og.jpg, a centre crop to
1200x630, and the head declares its type and size. Migration 013 adds
photo_og so rows built before this keep using the WebP until "Rebuild
resized photos" is run. The alt text names the pictured datacenter and
city. resize and the new og_crop share one convert call.

The favicon was an emoji in a data: URI and /favicon.ico was a 404.
Google only shows a site icon in results when the favicon has a
crawlable URL, and the emoji looked different on every platform.
Add an SVG (a 5x5 card with a crossed-out diagonal), a 16/32/48 ICO
and a 180px apple-touch-icon under assets/bingo/, served by explicit
routes because public/ belongs to asxp.io.

The h1 was just the brand ("Datacenter Bingo"), so the page's main
heading carried none of the terms people search for. Add a per-locale
tagline inside the h1 and shorten the lead paragraph so it no longer
repeats it.

The card mixes facilities in service with construction projects (Sber
Balakovo at #1, MOS7, MOS11, Yandex Vladimir-2), which is fine for a
bingo but not when you want to compare what actually runs today. Add a
toggle that builds the card from operational rows only, in the same
ranking, with bingo lines recomputed for that card. The filtered view is
noindex with canonical to the plain locale URL, so it does not compete
with the main page in search.

The bingo host fell through to asxp.io's public/, so crawlers got
asxp.io's robots.txt pointing at asxp.io's sitemap (and the keys and
invoice JS were served too). Turn static files off for BingoWeb and give
it its own robots.txt and a sitemap with hreflang alternates.
The card loaded 15.6 MB of full-size photos as cell backgrounds. Derive
480/1200 px WebP variants with ImageMagick on store (memory/area limits,
input coder pinned to the sniffed type), render cells as <img> with lazy
loading past the first two rows, and add an admin action that rebuilds
variants from the stored originals.
Head gets per-locale titles and descriptions carrying the live score,
og:image from the latest hit, Twitter card, og:locale alternates,
JSON-LD WebSite + ItemList, and Vary: Accept-Language on the redirect.

datacenterbingo.xyz is not in the .xyz zone yet, while bingo.asxp.io
already resolves. Serve the card on both (BINGO_ALT_HOST) so it is
reachable now; canonical and hreflang links keep pointing at the .xyz
domain. Footer gets a copyright line linking back to asxp.io.

Add a second public site to the same process: a 5x5 card of the 25
largest Russian datacenters where a cell is crossed out once an incident
with a public source is recorded (Yandex Sasovo and Kaluga drone strikes
on 2026-10-08/09 are seeded). config.ru dispatches by Host, so it rides
the existing container, DB and bucket instead of a new deploy.
The card is localized ru/en/uk with per-locale columns falling back to
ru. Content is managed from /admin/bingo on asxp.io, reusing AdminAuth
and CSRF. Photos go to the existing bucket under bingo/ and are proxied
by the app, so the bucket stays private and storage needs no change.
The seed data was fact-checked against operator sites and press on
2026-10-10; several entries in the original list were wrong or vague.
