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.

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?

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.

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.

At GPN23 there was also Pixelebbe which was much fun!

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/
