It annoys me to no end that the idea of metro-ISPs never took off. If somebody in the same city as me wants to connect to any services I host at home they first have to round-trip to my ISPs core-routers and then back to me.
Now this all happens very quickly within 5-6 ms but it could be 1ms or less in an ideal world.
I understand why we cannot have nice things though (cost mainly).
They do this with good intentions because not everyone can change this header (e.g if you're using some locked down browser at a kiosk you may not be able to change this) but it's infuriating for everyone who can.
It's bad enough being a Brit and told to identify the pictures of Crosswalks. Most of the captcha use American English terms and in the UK nobody uses the term "Crosswalk", the first time I saw that specific captcha it took me a while to understand what it was asking me to identify especially since the quality of the photographs isn't particularly amazing.
They should invest in a mechanism to allow you to train the heuristics in advance. If the heuristic knows that location A is a location you normally login from and location B is not but you could tell it in advance "I'm going to travel to location B on date X for duration Y" it would have the extra necessary information to know that this activity is normal and not suspicious.
If anyone from the IA reads this, are there any plans for IPv6 support? Archiving IPv4 for future generations is an important goal so it's perhaps fitting that in 2021 the IA is still running a historical Internet Protocol but it would nice to have IPv6 support for those running IPv6-only networks.

Store these in 1Password (other password managers are available)
Your point about versioning is a good one though. A lot of sites don't make it easy to find older versions of their software and I don't think package managers like homebrew support versioning (although I could be wrong).
Safari on iOS doesn't leak anything out of the ordinary for me. The geolocation was way off, identifying my iPhone as being in London (likely due to me accessing the page over a mobile data connection).
