There are local taxes on energy/electricity commerce in some number of jurisdictions, if that matters. New York, as an example: https://www.tax.ny.gov/forms/publications/st/pub718r.htm

I'd have to look into whether or how the mentioned—waived—4% state tax would apply on non-residential chargers. I would tend to imagine that any taxes on such would more-or-less cover the same.

Edited for clarity and to include link to example.

Got a color/pattern/style preference? These are the first I could find, but I'm sure we could make it work: https://www.ponyupdaddy.com/

Yeah, this is what I do. Only wish mobile had the option.

Kind of stuck with Discord for the moment, but I've just been using a separate Firefox profile dedicated to the service. It's nice seeing multiple accounts at once and having easy access to extensions.

My fuzzy memory wants to say it uses/is based atop UDP, and makes it more reliable.

Just checked before posting, and that seems to be the case on a cursory glance of its wiki article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QUIC

[EDIT] Should have read the article first—and it does mention UDP by the end.

This is a service provided by some DNS hosts, with their own special subdomains, and is not universal. They may also require slightly different options.

Other options include:

  • Google (query for txt record): @ns1.google.com o-o.myaddr.l.google.com

  • Akaimai (query for txt record): @ns1-1.akamaitech.net whoami.akamai.net

  • Cloudflare: @1.1.1.1 whoami.cloudflare

  • Cisco (there are four, as far as can tell): @resolver[1-4].opendns.com myip.opendns.com

…and likely others.

dig -6 +short @resolver2.opendns.com myip.opendns.com AAAA

Note: You have to ensure you are actually contacting the server with IPv6.

I worry less about the service breaking, changing, or otherwise disappearing, over a random website.

EDIT: Also what was said in a sibling comment.
