   Shameless plug for IconSearch [1], my similar site focused on SVG icons on Github/Gitlab. You can see my list of icon sources [2], and website source is available [3]. [1] https://iconsear.ch/ [2] https://i

   I was thinking about switching IP geolocation sources when MaxMind updated their license [1] and made it harder to include, and was shocked to see just how many different services are out there [2]. This is a utility page to compare the re

   Yes: I've made free APIs in the past that have been abused. I've made this for my needs and am happy to share, but it isn't a moneymaker. It is really simple to host your own copy, and I've tried make it pretty clear th

   In this thread, @jelv suggested GRC's Benchmark [1]. There is also namebench [2], an older python tool. I personaly haven't used either one (yet). Definitely an opportunity for a new, portable tool! [1] https://www.g

   That's correct, but it is still useful (IMHO). The ASN value should be the same (or at least related). If it isn't, there is something going on that you should probably investigate.

    I've added an "Alternatives" section [1] to the README with several of the sites/services/etc mentioned in this HN thread. [1] https://github.com/redirect2me/which-dns#alternatives

    Nice idea, and it should be pretty easy to do. Added to the to-do list!

    It looks like ipleak.net does have an API [1]. Website is a bit "information overload" though. [1] https://airvpn.org/forums/topic/14737-api/

    It would be really nice to detect the user's secondary DNS. I'm not sure failing will do that, but it might reveal interesting things anyway. I'll add it to the to-do list.

    Thanks, I use it like this for some of my pages. But please, only light, non-commercial use! It is on the cheapest static IP that I could find with no failover or anything. It is really easy to run your own copy if you need it for a commer

    Sort of: it doesn't differentiate between DoH and normal resolution (it only does IPv4 TCP & UDP resolution). This means that it will return Cloudflare (i.e. ASN of CLOUDFLARENET), but probably the same Cloudflare as if you are us

    It only sees the "last hop" of recursive DNS resolution [1]. If you have internal DNS servers, you would need to run a copy of which-dns internally, and your internal DNS servers would need have the which-dns entries added. If yo

    I kept running into DNS issues, and needed to triple-check that I was pointing to the right DNS servers, so I made this utility website that does exactly that: which-dns [1] This isn't a new idea ([2]), but mine supports https (hat tip

    I highly recommend lunr.js. I've used it on side projects both client side [1] and server side [2] and it works great. My only Yak-shaving was tweaking the separator regex. [1] https://github.com/VectorLogoZone/v

    I think this is doable, at least for repos on Github, since they have an API to get the license for a repo: https://developer.github.com/v3/licenses/#get-the-license-fo...

    Sigh. I hate debugging timing related issues that I cannot duplicate. But I already include the input in the search results API response, so your suggestion should work. I'll try it shortly.
