Yeah, that may be a better idea. I see that some brands of nail polish use coarser flecks that would be easier to compare visually.

As a thought experiment, I was wondering how to store something in a box/envelope, and know if someone else has looked at it. My conclusion was to search for "holographic tamper" on AliExpress, and carefully examine the photo

When I used CoDel on OpenWrt years ago, setting a 1 Mbps limit prevented the link from ever going faster. If it's now smart enough to discover the correct limit, then that's an interesting/useful development.

You can make Benchy float by slicing it with solid infill in the bottom/rear, and minimal infill everywhere else: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6076719

The biggest problem with CAKE/CoDel is that if you're not deploying it on the bottleneck device, you have to artificially limit the download/upload speed ("bandwidth 280mbit" "bandwidth 45mbit" in this exa

2a09:: 2a11:: and 2409:: are even shorter than 8.8.8.8, though not quite as memorable. I'm not recommending those DNS servers, just highlighting that "vanity" IPv6 addresses exist now. It's possible that 2222:: or 3333::

I didn't really think it was a mistake, just switched to "Morpheus is fighting Neo!" mode and started collecting evidence, most of which is in the post.

It's local. The webRequest API provides an 'ip' field with each request, and the hostname can be extracted from the URL. Once you have an IP address, just check for colons. https://developer.chrome.com/docs&#x

That was an interesting decision. At roughly the same time, Android added 'clatd' so existing apps would just work in an IPv6-only environment via NAT64. Apple refused to implement clatd, instead forcing app developers to fix thei

Shitty ISPs will always give you as little as they can get away with. If the software enforces /64, they'll you /64. Raise the limit to /128 and they'll give you /128. At least with the current state of affair

20 bytes / 1 Gbps = 160 ns per hop. That's 0.016 ms additional latency over 100 hops. On the internet, most links are faster than 1 Gbps and most paths are shorter than 100 hops, so that's a conservative estimate. If you&#x2

Note that the top-level manifest.json is for Chrome. To use it with Firefox, you have to copy "manifest/firefox-manifest.json" onto manifest.json first.

IPvFoo author here. The problem is that there's no way to obtain the (hostname, ip) stream from Chrome/Firefox without requesting the "all websites" permission. In theory, browser vendors could define a narrowly-scoped

That would be really convenient if : weren't in the middle of the keyboard. Maybe hardcore IP typists need an alternate keyboard layout where * maps to :

You can be tracked with either, but IPv6 is not functionally worse than IPv4 in that regard. You could argue that IPv6 is less anonymous than CGNAT, but CGNATs usually have to keep detailed logs, so that balances out. All the tricks for ano
