>behindthesofa is only reachable over modern protocols, so insecure HTTP and IPv4 are not supported.

Not supporting HTTP seems ok, but what's the reason for not supporting IPv4?

My ISP, switch, and OS all support IPv6 but I wasn't able to configure it so even though I want to use IPv6, I wasn't able to ever get it to work.

That's now 2 things I can't use; loopsofzen.co.uk and behindthesofa. I really hope this doesn't get more common else I'll essentially get locked out of the Internet.

I guess I can always use Google and Facebook.

I wrote about my problems with IPv6 here if anyone is interested: https://www.reddit.com/r/ipv6/comments/5q9dog/struggling_wit...

The twitter account has this[0]:

>We now offer a legacy (IPv4) mirror of the behindthesofa homepage: https://filippo.io/behindthesofa/

The actual service is at https://ct.filippo.io/behindthesofa/ (IPv6 only)

I could reach both https://ct.filippo.io/ and https://loopsofzen.uk/ over Teredo, so that can be an option even if your ISP or router don't have working IPv6.

Same here. Cannot reach ipv6 from my current (between places) home line even and the local mobile network providers never offered ipv6 integration as far as I can tell (dual sim, different networks, no ipv6 access).

I'm missing the potted merkle tree next to it.

One might be forgiven for expecting it to make heavy use of CouchDB.

Fortunately, Trillian supports pluggable storage backends!

Why doesn't Cloudflare run a serious CT log?

;)

Can't tell if serious or not.

At Up in the Air Ltd we take Merkle trees and user security extremely seriously. If you have any concern please contact support at devnull@filippo.io.

I found my moment of zen the second time I read this.
