I was wondering where the new players were coming from! Thanks for the mention :)


I think Apple owns that whole block?


It's not publicly exposed yet but you can check here! http://ipv4.games/summary?subnet=0.0.0.0/0

Congrats on #1 spot :)


I was planning on getting that set up, but people discovered it faster than anticipated :) I’ll do it soon


Hey I made this!! Happy to see it getting attention. Feel free to ask me anything!


Why are you doing a separate request for every /8? I feel like this would be the first thing that would kill the site, if it weren't for the fact you're on HTTP, the browser is talking HTTP/1.1, so it only does 6 concurrent requests per domain.


If you want to monitor how well the server holds up to the hug of death, check out its http://ipv4.games/statusz page. For example, you could poll that and calculate (or chart) how many messages per second it's handling.


I wanted to see if the server could handle being slammed with requests like that :) but yeah collapsing it into one request would be a lot better. I’ll probably do that soon


In case anyone's wondering, I wrote the web server clayloam is using. It's called redbean. It started off as just my own hobby project last year, here on Hacker News, but it grew into something more and lots of people loved it enough to help. So it's very exciting to see it being used in production to handle hundreds of http messages per second. https://redbean.dev


This is really awesome. Finally a game I am good at.


I am very curious how you managed to hold more than half the blocks for a bit!!


Here at Spur, we're speculating Mike used residential proxies :)


Ssshhh. Nobody is supposed to know about either of those things :)


Coming for your crown >:D
