    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.

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

      Canvas clearly needs a rule against activism.

    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?

    Reminds me of the Pixelflut LED display. The hacker camp SHA2017 had one above a bar, 36C3 had one as well. Their traffic peaked at 4 Gbit/s and 30 Gbit/s respectively.

    This reminds me of the IPv6 enabled Christmas Tree[1].Unsurprisingly, the original address has been offline. When I checked the archives, I saw the archives from January 7, 2017[2]. Could it be that some guy is celebrating Orthodox Christmas? :)

    They also had something like this at TU Twente in the Netherlands, https://pings.utwente.io/ with open-sourced software :)

    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/
