■live · motherships online now
the colonies, live.
every dot is an area about 25 km across with a mothership online in it. it lights up while colonies are working there. only motherships whose owner switched on the live map are shown, so this is a floor, not a census.

01 / what is sent
four fields, every five minutes.
the live map is off until you switch it on. colonizer asks once, after github and claude are connected, and settings → live map changes your answer whenever you like.
- a random id, made when you switch it on and forgotten when you switch it off
- the version, the platform, and how many colonies have a running microvm
- no repository, issue, code, prompt, name or path
- your ip address becomes a 25 km area and is never stored
- online means a heartbeat in the last 12 minutes. anything older than an hour is deleted

DO_NOT_TRACK=1 or COLONIZER_TELEMETRY=off keeps it off for good. the map needs colonizer 0.1.3 or newer.
