From a spinning chip on /24 to a rolling doggo on /48

November 2025 ยท 1 minute read

I’ve come across a now-deleted Reddit post about how the whole range 89.106.90.0/24 has a single gif on it with a spinning chip. Meaning you can visit 89.106.90.1 or 89.106.90.233 and it will serve the same static page. I think that’s hilarious use of an expensive /24 IPv4 range.

Last year I registered ASN and bought/leased a few IPv6 ranges and thought to myself why wouldn’t I do the same thing but only on IPv6 /48 range? The only difference is that IPv4 /24 range has only 256 IPs on which the spinning chip is spinning and IPv6 /48 range has 281 trillion IPs on which doggo is rolling.

I used a subnet from my range of 2a0a:6044:bf00::/40 and decided on 2a0a:6044:bf4c::/48. So now if you have IPv6 connectivity you can see a rolling doggo on all 281 trillion IPs.

This is the doggo used:

A few funny examples (unfortunately Markdown is unable to handle IPv6 link so you’ll need to copy them):

Or from the toxic masculinity list:

Yeah, most of these IPv6 URLs can be quite childish, sorry about that.
