Just published a deep dive on how traceroute actually works. The TTL trick, why you see * * * in output, how load balancers break classic traceroute, and when to use mtr vs Paris traceroute instead. Built some interactive demos too.

@hytownmmo Sickkk!

Analytics are LIVE on https://t.co/KRwJDibQIt! 📈✨

Server owners can now peek at real player insights: connection locations, editions used, client versions, locales... and the killer feature – exact join counts via your custom domain (great for seeing if auction spots or listings are actually driving players in, not just clicks).

Zero impact on ping, no plugins or server mods required – we do some magic here for privacy-friendly telemetry.

To unlock yours super quick:
1. Head to https://t.co/UzzzPE8oOh
2. Add your custom domain there
3. Set up a simple DNS CNAME record pointing to us

Boom – stats flow in automatically once players start using your domain to join.

Who's jumping in to add their domain first? Tag your server if you're setting it up 👇

@Hetzner_Online my servers can't connect to github? Asked some friends and neither can theirs?

When trying to create a support ticket a `service unavailable` error happens?

[Arthur De Witte @arthurdw]

@me_you_us_42 @Hetzner_Online Seems to just have been resolved.

[Arthur De Witte @arthurdw]

@xoaanya regery is my fav atm, otherwise porkbun 🙈

[Arthur De Witte @arthurdw]

Hytale running on QUIC is chef's kiss 👌

Means we can bake in privacy-friendly analytics on https://t.co/KRwJDibQIt with zero ping impact or server tweaks needed – just taps into that UDP stream magic without the usual HTTP bloat.

Dashboard still cooking tho 👀

Still tinkering in the shadows on https://t.co/KRwJDibQIt... 👀🌐

Picture this: your Hytale server suddenly stops sucking for half the planet. Players in EU, Asia, wherever. No more endless complaints about lag spikes or "why does my friend teleport every 5 seconds?"

Something clever is brewing to auto-send folks to the nearest beast of a cluster. Ping drops, everyone happy, servers feel alive globally.

Server owners: if your setup is US-only right now and you're losing internationals... this one's for you. More soon.

@Sceat_ @RuneteriaServer @hytownmmo @Simon_Hypixel Aighttt, :)

[Arthur De Witte @arthurdw]

@Sceat_ @RuneteriaServer @hytownmmo @Simon_Hypixel I presume then another jwt token is being used here? As servers are receiving a jwt token which contains their username, id, skin etc

[Arthur De Witte @arthurdw]

@Sceat_ @RuneteriaServer @hytownmmo @Simon_Hypixel (cuz on server join you sen your jwt token to the server afaik, which would mean that the server is able to spoof you as being online on their server from then on until the token expires right?)

[Arthur De Witte @arthurdw]

@Sceat_ @RuneteriaServer @hytownmmo @Simon_Hypixel Yeah that could still be spoofed, unless they add pk signatures for this to accounts.
