    That's cool. I get every color, but that firefox add-on you referred me to gives me a big 4, and a little 6. If the LEDs are only lit up via IPv6, why are they even accepting IPv4 connections?

    I can't asnwer that question, you will have to ask the guy that concocted it.

    BTW is that a Raspberry Pi controlling the lights?

    I suppose so.

    Unless it has some hardware addons, it doesn't look like it. Although there are others similar out there (ie: ODROID-XU4, BananaPi, Cubieboard, etc). It almost looks like two stacked on top of each other as well.

    I didn't have a look at the website yet, when I wrote that.

    Now I get:

    Possibly a temporary glitch, is still working here. It is a nice idea. What I like about it is that it it thinks "out of the box". 2^64 addresses give a lot of room to play with. So whay not use part of the address as a parameter. That is what this demonstrates.

    The only problem I have is that I can't see any correlation between my actions and the lights on the tree. It just seems to be flashing at random. Either my pings are drowned in the noise, or it IS just flashing at random...

    Cheers, Michiel

    Heck it was flashing already when I went to the page. There would have been no way that my pings would show up as distinct I think.

    I get the same. :(

    Now it's working. And there is a message on the website:

    "Update: As it turns out inviting the entire internet to ping my IP address might not be the best idea I ever had... Bandwidth is regularly maxing out at 300Mbit/s of incoming ICMPv6 traffic, so bear with me if the livestream occasionally drops out for a moment. Please avoid pingfloods for prolonged periods and give everyone a chance to try it out. If we all play nice I will try to keep the tree online until new year's eve."
