@jk @ljs There used to be lots of "French" in the kernel source, but it was purged. :)

@ljs the fact that the kernel has both the British and American spellings equally accepted suggests that the kernel is actually Canadian.

@major good thing you're not at Canonical, or you'd have to install CalbCalntCal.

@deborahh @djh good suggestion, but with 20-odd million unique IPs, this is too much of a wumpus hunt to bother. :)

OK, so I ended up moving www.kernel.org to be served via Fastly and it's working well. I will probably move it back once we figure out what this okhttp traffic is.

@tobigr @trouble @ross @bladecoder Thank you, I do appreciate that! (And your tests are less likely to break this way, should we change something.)

@justin @djh it doesn't seem to make any difference what code we return -- my guess is that we're just one of the sites the check hits. If it gets an error, it just checks a different site.

@bladecoder not quite -- the requests are http, not https. Also, I doubt there are tens of millions of daily NewPipe users out there. :)

Jeg er veldig smart.

Don't ask me why I'm learning Norsk, it's a secret, but my Duo username may give a hint.

@srtcd424 @bencardoen @tony this would be a lot of work for not obvious gain. My guess is that we're not the only host they check, so this may go completely unnoticed by the app makers, so we'll spend a lot of effort for minimal gain.

@josh Good guess, I do see significantly more of this traffic on our Singapore and Amsterdam nodes.
