Nice interface. Still remember the last service like that being taken down by DDoS from set top boxes after a vendor used it in their firmware

Blocked by Sophos (at work) because “ParkedDomain”. I fucking love this timeline.
- jiggawatts 2y ago
  I also love how it is developed using Vue completely unnecessarily, requiring nearly half a megabyte of JavaScript to show me 300 bytes of non-interactive dynamic content surrounded by entirely static text. It also reaches out to two tracking sites, including a server in China, because of course it does.
  - Kiro 2y ago
    How is that relevant to the comment you're responding to? It's not like the maker added it to Sophos voluntarily.
    - jiggawatts 2y ago
      I'm replying more to the "I fucking love this timeline." part of the comment. Half the time I see something advertised here (or anywhere else for that matter) the code is more tracking than content by weight, nothing works, and the whole thing is shockingly slow. How did we get to "this timeline" that not only is this normal, but it's starting to feel weird even commenting about it? Should I just give up and accept loading spinners on static content? My recent grumpy old man moment is asynchronous loading of menu items one-at-a-time, something my PC from 1994 could do instantaneously. I've seen desktop applications show me fragments of a UI, slowly expanding with more and more items in random order as the fans of my 5 GHz CPU spin up to handle the enormous load of... a few hundred characters of text per second. The same speed as my first 300 baud modem, something so old and slow that I threw it the trash in 1989. There's a comment here[1] saying "nice interface". What's nice about it!? It's broken, slow, and tracks you! This is where we are in 2024: Shipping broken stuff and getting patted on the back for getting an MVP out "fast"... while users wait.

A gentle reminder: test your website a bit before advertising it in public. Basic aspects are broken or don't behave the way one would expect. You mention IPv6, but it shows my IPv4 address in the website. I have a "proper" IPv6 address and other similar services can discover it, including a simple Google search: https://www.google.com/search?q=what+is+my+ip https://www.google.com/search?q=what+is+my+ip Discovering IPv6 robustly requires an embedded iframe or a separate API service that is advertised only with AAAA records. It can't be done in a single request or with a single DNS record. Conversely, the IPv4 endpoint must use A records only. (Hilariously the IPv4 info API request goes via IPv6!) The advertised "curl ip.network/more" doesn't work. It might actually work with "curl" very specifically, but with any other client such as PowerShell it returns HTML instead of a JSON response: C:\> (Invoke-RestMethod https://ip.network/more ).OuterXml <html><head><meta charSet="utf-8" /><meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width" /><title>What's My Public IP Address | ip.network</title><meta name="description" content="Check my public IP address and lookup any ip4 & ipv6 address detail on ip.network" /><script defer="" data- Some working alternatives for anyone interested in similar what-is-my-address APIs that work correctly with JSON and IPv6: Invoke-RestMethod 'https://api.ipify.org?format=json' Invoke-RestMethod 'https://api64.ipify.org?format=json' Invoke-RestMethod 'https://api4.my-ip.io/v2/ip.json' Invoke-RestMethod 'https://api6.my-ip.io/v2/ip.json' Invoke-RestMethod 'http://ip-api.com/json/'
- winternewt 2y ago
  I don't personally disagree with the sentiment, but the prevailing message we are constantly getting on places like HN is that you should "release early", "move fast and break things" etc. So by that standard they're doing the right thing. And hey, they got you to test it for them and even describe how it needs to be fixed.

Who is behind this website? There’s no privacy policy, no "about us" or legal notice. At the bottom it advertises for AI.LS, Favicon.im, Small.im and Query.domains. All of these websites link to other websites, mostly other random tools with SEO text below and links to other websites (including MagicAnimate.org which has a footer that says "This website is not affiliated with MagicAnimate").
- walrus01 2y ago
  So what? literally any website you visit that has a http daemon with logs also has your IP address. It's not like they're taking the data you see on the page when you view it, which is unique to your client and whatever last-mile connection you're on at that moment, and re-distributing it to anyone else. If you think the level of data this site shows is a lot and somehow concerning to you, don't ever use any form of modern FAANG social media... There are lots of other tools made by nerds, for nerds on the internet that don't have a privacy policy or a set of legal notices. Not everything needs to be treated like a formal "product" because of lawyers. I imagine you'd probably be highly concerned if you saw IRC and efnet 25 years ago too. look at all these other tools that also don't require you to click through agreeing to a TOS or whatever: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41168877 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41168877

      Just so we're clear, you're worried about who made a website that does nothing more than repeat the same data back to your eyes that every httpd in the world that you also visit has and logs? If the community doesn't think it's novel and interesting, they can downvote it.

I've been building sites like this for over 20 years now. Interesting that it seems to be only doing IPv4. I really love the simplicity of https://icanhazip.com https://icanhazip.com which inspired the way I've build my own stuff like this today (no self promo here though). My first iteration of a site like this was one that dug through whois records related to the ip detected. Back before dns privacy service took over it alway led to interesting results. I totally get why the internet has moved to privacy services to prevent direct contact information from being found but back in those days it really felt like the web was more person to person.
