Humble and chill and a real cool backstory

@DougMadory @markpash btw, it was indeed outdated GeoIP data, updated now 👍

[Andree Toonk @atoonk]

Some changes in the number of active IP addresses in Iran as of a few hours ago. Responding IP's increased from ~400k active IPs to ~500k.

Interesting data! Claude usage will pass OpenAI this summer? 🤓

@YouTube @netflix @peacock @DisneyPlus @ChatGPTapp @claudeai So will @claudeai recent growth rate allow it to surpass @ChatGPTapp? Well, that's where it becomes a projection.

If Claude's recent growth rate continues to compound, then it could happen later this year, if it grows linearly, then it may never catch up.

jfc....

@DougMadory @markpash one caveat, i get the info from a geo IP library, so could be that's out of date. can double check later

[Andree Toonk @atoonk]

@DougMadory @markpash Yeah, happy to share. Every 15 min we send 3 probes to each IP in Iran: an ICMP echo, a TCP SYN to a random port, and a UDP packet. A host counts as alive if it answers any of them: echo reply, a SYN-ACK or RST, or an ICMP port-unreachable to the UDP probe.

[Andree Toonk @atoonk]

@markpash It wasn't completely down, certain IP ranges were still responding.

Seeing the first signs of a possible internet restoration in Iran at 12:01 UTC today.

While a few networks spiked in traffic, most are still down.

Since April 28, 2026, microblogging platform X/Twitter (AS13414) has been utilizing Starlink (AS14593, AS45700) for internet transit. 😱

Cleaning up some stuff today. A bit of nostalgia 🤓Probably don’t need this anymore. Last time I opened it was well over a decade ago.
