Thwarted Again. Blast.

Posted by freebeer on 24 January 2020 in English.

It seems recently the OSM tile CDN has started answering over IPv6.

So perishes my quick check whether I’m connected via an IPv6-only network, where https://osm.org/ used to show a blank map on the rest of the homepage, and I know immediately a workaround is needed. Always was my second action after connecting to https://ipv6.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html .

In other words, yay, now to give forum.osm the same connectivity, and a few external sites, then I can catch up with OSM without paying attention to how I’ve been connected.
