What do these charts usually look like?

This is a more regular example https://stat.ripe.net/widget/routing-history#w.resource=AS82...

this shows the routing history of the prefixes originated by AS 8283 - and their observed reachability

That is amazing. Does anyone have similar examples of weird technological art?

In 1985, Chris Capon wrote a program called "Sing Song Serenade" for the Commodore 64 + 1541 disk drive. It loaded a program into the disk drive that made the stepper motor vibrate to the tune of "Daisy Bell".

In similar category of doing fun things with internet tools, you can play tetris on IPv6 traceroute: traceroute -I -q 1 trh.milek7.pl Game is controlled by appending chars into subdomain: w – rotate, s – drop, a – move left, d – move right. Example: tracerouting wwddds.trh.milek7.pl rotates 2x, moves right 3x and drops piece. After dropping to request new piece it is required to traceroute trh.milek7.pl without comma…

not as cool, but on a similar note: traceroute -m 50 bad.horse

I see a poem, but I'm not sure I get it. What am I missing/not-appreciating here?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Doesn't work for me: # traceroute -I -q 1 trh.milek7.pl connect: Network is unreachable

Are you sure that you have IPv6?. I don't have 60k addresses to do it on IPv4 :)

I was sure the machine I was testing this on had IPv6. I was wrong. Ooopsie. How can I downvote myself?
