Web devs: please, PLEASE, learn the difference between History.pushState() and History.replaceState(). It's the latter you want. Please do not spam my browser history just because I have interacted with your app; it's rude.

    THIS. My browser history just had 100 entries added to it. Now I gotta got delete them all.

    Also, pretty cool app!

    I get this issue on YouTube every time (well, other way). On mobile, go to front page, search, hit a search result. Go back and you're on the front page...

    If Google can't get it right (or don't care to) I think it's a lost battle.

      Confirmed. Massive annoyance with youtube on mobile.

Its safe for work until you get to the coordinates where they placed the yaoi porn. Obligatory trans flag and Lain are also present....

    In your comment's context, I think "yuri" is more common and fits the next sentence better.

    • blueflow 4 hours ago

      You are right, what i was looking at was yuri, but wouldn't know because i went the other way before seeing the genitals.

It would be fun to go the other way, make a giant canvas that you draw on based on the sender's IPv6 address.

Obviously it would be a really really big canvas but you could strip some leading or trailing bits.

(If we give 8x8 pixels per /64 and considering that only 2000/3 is used, that's 2^67 pixels)

The "no drawing over others people drawings" rule seems kind of pointless, or is nobody supposed to use the website anymore, now that the whole site is covered with a drawing of cat and a lady in a pond?

Cool project. I thought the empty canvas was the galaxy but if you go right, you see a lot of other images. Warning: mostly NSFW.

I wanted to complain, but then I remembered the ol' Hacker News guideline:

> Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—e.g. [...] back-button breakage.

    I thought I was just looking at a landing page and you had to use IPv6 to view the canvas yourself. I think someone just put Hubble deep field at (0,0), though. It looks different now.

In case somebody is a second class Internet citizen like me and has no IPv6 support yet, you can set up a tunnel courtesy of Hurricane Electric if you want to play around: https://tunnelbroker.net/

  • remram 5 hours ago

    This is often tricky because not all home routers will let you set up the protocol forwarding you need.

    Another option is to use a cloud provider that supports IPv6. For example Google's GCP gives you a completely free VM, the drawback is that enabling IPv6 is a bit of a puzzle. https://cloud.google.com/free/docs/free-cloud-features#compu... (create a dual-stack VPC with a dual-stack subnet in a region, add firewall rules, create dual-stack VM)

    You can also use the one.one.one.one app from Cloudflare; only works on one machine at a time. Tunnelbroker's great, but streaming services consider it an untrusted VPN.

Also learn grammar, please. If you mean a canvas based on IPv6, then write "IPv6-Based Canvas". If you mean IPv6 has based the canvas, then write what you just did.

    As the domain name is "openbased.org", and with "based" being Internet slang, I don't think your correction applies. The name describes a based canvas built on IPv6, hence IPv6 Based Canvas.

    The English language is rather particular when it comes to the order of adjectives, but according to https://dictionary.cambridge.org/grammar/british-grammar/adj..., "opinion" comes first, and "based" is very much an opinion. I suppose that means the grammatically correct name would be "based IPv6 canvas" if you're being pedantic.
