I clicked the link with nothing better to do, and woa, that's a really good maps app. Like, "I haven't seen something like this before" levels of good. Reorients itself with my phone, accurately - and in real time, not after I'd already walked ten steps in that direction. With other maps, I thought that maybe my phone's compass is broken. The default but optional 3D top-down view is the most comprehensible-looking map I've seen in a long time. It barely uses disk space, and going by my short experience with it, it really is very light on the battery.

Exceptional, this is what I'm using from now on. Just hope the iOS 15 support is maintained, that's a killer app to keep perfectly good devices productive even after they're restricted from everything else :)

And I just managed to offer the same advice, then upon posting discovered I'd been beaten lol.

This simple solution versus the article reminds me of McIlroy and Knuth: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35915169

So, those mythical IPv6-only internet users actually exist :) That's some great network engineering.

I once needed something like that for the perhaps more common inverse purpose, to work on something IPv6 from within my happy IPv4-only connection. A more limited, but quicker solution given full control of a server - I set up a SOCKS5 proxy, using:

  ssh -D 1080 -N myserver
and set my browser to use it. I think that it could also be set system-wide, but wonder if that might break the original ssh connection, holding it all up :)
