One would think that if you are in the business of selling data, specifically, location data, that you would have a link on your website for people to contact you in regards to updating that data so that the data you are selling is accurate data. Or do you prefer to sell inaccurate data or do you just not care about the accuracy of your product? Anyways, i’ll get off of my soap box… ***ATTENTION*** Digital Element, Neustar and ipinsight.io folks…. How does one report to you inaccurate geolocation data? Anyone on list that could possibly help a brother out? Thank You, Mike

Having Geo-IP issues in the past week or so? Digital Elements wet the bed…
by Mike Lyon 24 Aug '25

24 Aug '25

If any eyeball networks are having geo-ip issues that started a week or so ago for their customers trying to use HBO, Hulu, Netflix or any others that use Digital Elements for their geo-ip, be sure you make Digital Elements aware. Digital Elements ran a process update last week that screwed up a bunch of netblocks. See ticket verbatim below. And to top it off, they are holding my customers hostage until a week from today when they run the corrective update. Hi Mike, While refining our processes to improve accuracy, some of our changes inadvertently over-corrected existing updates we had in place. We have noticed these and are correcting them currently. This unfortunately was one of the overridden updates. Thank you. Mike Lyon Aug 22, 2025, 11:00 AM EDT Do we know why it changed?

We will update this IP range back to the US for our release next Friday, August 29. Thank you. ———————— Fun times… -Mike

Worsening google service reputation and abuse
by Jared Mauch 21 Aug '25

21 Aug '25

Is there anyone at Google that is able to address the ongoing abuse problems that are coming out of your services like classroom, groups and otherwise? Wanting me to create a google account for the addresses that are receiving the abuse does not scale and as the reputation continues to get worse, I don't want to block all google services - but getting someone to work with on the issues would be appreciated. X-Notifications: COURSE_INVITATION:792026619952-1755166651116 X-Google-Group-Id: 1087901814827 X-Google-Group-Id: 328755863 X-Google-Group-Id: 864553705765 X-Google-Group-Id: 295922276390 X-Google-Group-Id: 534760014314 Decade+ old mailman has the end-user accept invitations to lists, but google seems to not even use it's own tools so isn't really meeting what would be a general standard. I saw others complain about this as well, and i've had to configure various blocking of different google services which is a moving target of abuse. It's fair to say that a human should be able to send e-mail to an owner alias for a mailing list, but not subscribe that to a group or classroom. - jared -- Jared Mauch | pgp key available via finger from jared(a)puck.nether.net clue++; | http://puck.nether.net/~jared/ My statements are only mine.

Anyone on the list from Hulu?
by Mike Lyon 21 Aug '25

21 Aug '25

Looks like Hulu dropped the record they had for one of our netblocks that has been working fine for years and now suddenly, it's causing issues for our customers. I sent an email into ipadmin(a)hulu.com on Sunday but haven't heard anything back. Anyone on the list that could help? Thank You, Mike -- Mike Lyon mike.lyon(a)gmail.com http://www.linkedin.com/in/mlyon

Breaking the Sorting Barrier for Directed Single-Source Shortest Paths

21 Aug '25

I was scrolling LinkedIn and came across a post that mentioned a research paper: Breaking the Sorting Barrier for Directed Single-Source Shortest Paths TLDR: Dijkstra got defeated after 40 years. It will be interesting to see what convergence times will look like with this implemented. Different formats of the same research paper: * https://arxiv.org/pdf/2504.17033 * https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3717823.3718179 Kind regards, Ryan Hamel
