Here's a neat tip for figuring out exactly where your packet went during a traceroute. You can simply paste the output of traceroute into ChatGPT, asking where the packet actually went geographically.

## The question

Here's the input I gave it:

```

can you get a sense of this route geographically ?

## Response

Tracing the geographical path from your local host to nghttp2.org involves a series of hops that typically represent different network routers or devices. Let's break down the route step-by-step:

1. **Localhost to Gateway**:

- This is your local network's gateway, indicating the first point of contact outside your computer.

2. **24.86.64.1**:

- This IP is likely the first hop within your Internet Service Provider's (ISP) network. Given the IP range, this looks like a Canadian IP address, possibly Vancouver (Shaw Communications).

3. **rc1st-be118-1.vc.shawcable.net**:

- This indicates a Shaw Communications router, likely in Vancouver, British Columbia.

4. **24.244.60.69** and **24.244.63.101**:

- These are further hops within Shaw Communications' network, still in Vancouver.

5. **rc1st-be214.vc.shawcable.net**:

- Another router in Vancouver within Shaw's network.

6. **rc2wt-be50-1.wa.shawcable.net**:

- This hop seems to indicate a transition from Vancouver to Washington state in the USA.

7. **rc2wt-be50-1.wa.shawcable.net**:

- This appears again, indicating it's a key router in Washington state, likely Seattle.

8. **ge3-0.cr02.sea01.pccwbtn.net**:

- This shows the transition to PCCW Global's network, a major international telecommunications provider, in Seattle, Washington.

9. **63-216-84-226.static.pccwglobal.net**:

- Another hop within PCCW Global's network, possibly still in Seattle but preparing for a trans-Pacific jump.

10. **ae1.r01.hkg03.icn.netarch.akamai.com**:

- This hop indicates a significant jump to Hong Kong, to an Akamai router. This suggests the use of Akamai's CDN (Content Delivery Network).

11. **ae1.r01.hkg03.icn.netarch.akamai.com**:

- Another Akamai router in Hong Kong.

12. **ae7.r01.tyo03.icn.netarch.akamai.com**:

- Transition from Hong Kong to Tokyo, Japan, within Akamai's network.

13. **a23-56-142-37.deploy.static.akamaitechnologies.com**:

- The final destination is likely a server hosted by Akamai in Japan, which is hosting nghttp2.org.

In summary, the geographical path likely follows this route:

1. **Vancouver, Canada** (Shaw Communications)

2. **Seattle, Washington, USA** (Shaw Communications and PCCW Global)

3. **Hong Kong** (PCCW Global and Akamai)

4. **Tokyo, Japan** (Akamai)

This route involves both North American and Asia-Pacific regions, indicating a significant geographical spread typically seen in global internet routing.

## Summary

This makes traceroute way more understandable. ChatGPT knows enough about the domains to give you a good sense of the geographical path. I will definitely be using this from now on, maybe someone can make a tool to do this automatically and format it nicely.

Obviously don't do this if you actually care about the privacy of your network paths, but I personally could care less so I don't mind feeding the AI overlords in this case.

Until next time!

I rarely post memes I didn’t make but this one is too good not to share. Probably my favorite hawk tuah meme I’ve seen so far 🤣🤣

I don’t think I’d call that “success” exactly 🤣

Hey Nostr community! 🌐

I'm excited to join this decentralized platform and share a story that's been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I have a unique claim to fame: I'm the child of the infamous D.B. Cooper. Yes, *that* D.B. Cooper, the man who hijacked a plane in 1971, parachuted into the night with $200,000, and vanished without a trace.

Growing up, I always knew my dad was different. He was a quiet, meticulous man with a penchant for adventure and a deep knowledge of aviation. Here are a few interesting tidbits about him that you might find fascinating:

1. **Aviation Enthusiast**: My dad had an extensive knowledge of aircraft, particularly the Boeing 727. He knew the ins and outs of the plane, which is why he chose it for his daring escape. He often spoke about the technical details of planes, which I later realized were crucial to his successful hijacking.

2. **Parachuting Skills**: Contrary to popular belief, my dad was an experienced skydiver. He had practiced numerous jumps and was well-prepared for the night he leaped into history. He even chose the best parachute for the jump, the Navy NB-8 container with a C-9 canopy, known for its reliability at high speeds.

3. **The Tie Clue**: The black J.C. Penney tie he left behind on the plane was a deliberate move. He knew it would throw off investigators, and it did for many years. The tie had traces of rare earth elements, which led many to speculate about his profession, but it was all part of his plan to mislead.

4. **The Money**: While only $5,800 of the ransom money was ever found, my dad had a clever way of hiding the rest. He buried it in multiple locations, some of which we visited during family trips disguised as camping adventures. He always had a knack for blending in and staying one step ahead.

5. **A Man of Mystery**: Despite his criminal act, my dad was a loving father and a man of principle. He never hurt anyone during the hijacking and always emphasized the importance of family and integrity. His actions were driven by a deep-seated grudge against corporate greed and a desire for financial freedom.

I'm here to share more about my dad's life and the untold stories that have been kept within our family for decades. I'm excited to connect with all of you and dive into discussions about one of America's greatest unsolved mysteries. Feel free to ask me anything! I might have answers 😜 (to an extent for obvious reasons)

Looking forward to engaging with this fascinating community.

Cheers,

D.B. Cooper's Kid

This crab’s TikTok account has increased from 2.9M followers to 3.3M now just during the time my wife has been watching a live stream of it molting. Apparently Howie is very popular. The owner is narrating/commentating throughout the process, as over 19K viewers watch and are tipping her. Wow 🤯

Juneteenth is political rhetoric. Because of when and how it entered the national consciousness, it is really more of a celebration of intersectionality and progressivism than a celebration of freedom.
