Should add one more filter: EDNS client subnets.

Some like cloudflare doesn’t support that in the name of privacy.

EDNS lets the dns server of the site you are visiting know from where you are connecting and can give you the closest server. 1.1.1.1 does not do that. This breaks all sorts of ISP cache and peering arrangements.

Here’s an example: My ISP’s google global cache is broken every time I use cloudflare. With google dns, opendns, isp’s own dns I get my ISP’s own ip address for the domain “googlevideo.com” which is where youtube videos load from. With cloudflare dns I get an ip address of an actual google server which may or may not be in my country. Result: my downloads from google drive/youtube/play store all are faster with a dns server with proper EDNS support.

Now imagine this on a global scale for smaller websites, your request might go to a different continent.

I understand the product decision for cloudflare and I don’t want them to change but this is something people should know about. There are numerous reports on their forums which are always locked with no activity.

I am not saying it’s a conspiracy but this doesn’t affect sites on cloudflare btw due to their global anycast routing/infra setup which I don’t know enough to explain.

There's some anti-competition going on there too - Cloudflare's own CDN uses anycast, which doesn't need geo-DNS, but some of their competitors use geo-DNS, so Cloudflare actually prefers that geo-DNS is broken.

The duality of TheTon’s and anotherpaul’s comments.

What’s the definition of success here? Instagram like user counts?

Arguing that success is purely about the ultra high numbers seems to miss the forest for the trees. Is HN a failure because it did not reach the level of DAU as Reddit? The quality of discussion and community here is certainly substantially higher. I feel the same about Mastodon and Bsky vs Twitter. I’ll take community I actually want to engage with over sheer numbers any day.

I think critics would settle for commercial viability, given the funding structure.

Whenever I turn on ipv6 on my router (isp supports it, dual stack) randomly I get half the download speeds, YouTube video freezes, and eventually a captcha screen on google. The moment I disable v6 even only at the client side I get to max out my bandwidth. Tested on google drive, sites on azure and aws and netflix’s fast.com which show’s your ip just to confirm I was connecting over v6.

Maybe your ISP is really tunneling v6 over v4?

No the server is getting an ipv6 address and verified on those test sites. This seems bad routing.

Edit: On closer look this looks useful without the coding harness pitch.

This is not a product, its a foss lib

Is this like a platform 9 3/4 thing?

> Discord removes it on page load and restores it when the tab is closed.

How does this work? You have no real control over what the browser does when it closes a tab.

I've always wondered how they do it as well.

Second problem - if they remove it from localstorage they still need to hold them somewhere. So are they moved to a simple variable then? It's just as accessible as localStorage. Maybe it's randomized every load?

Yup, it has to exist somewhere.

What happens if you lose power? You're logged out because it didn't save the token back. Verified this by pausing JS execution and killing Firefox. (the local storage key is "token")

Thank you!

Often times I find agreeing to the stack the model suggests is the right option. It’s probably most trained on that.

I suppose one would have to work in a very specific novel and niche area to go against the grain and chose stacks that are not chosen by majority.

I know this is from a developer perspective. But as a consumer this is just funny.

Why?
