What Hacker News says

3 sources
Link to the source is in the bottom of the page. hosts: - www.archlinux.org - aur.archlinux.org https://github.com/andir/ipv6.watch/blob/bd581ac70b900ba0c1c... hosts: - amazon.com - www.amazon.com https://github.com/andir/ipv6.watch/blob/bd581ac70b900ba0c1c... Generally, when people write "Amazon" they mean the store (amazon.com) and when people write "AWS" they are referring to the infrastructure provider. I agree that the URLs being tested should be visible on the page, so you don't have to lookup the source. With that said, not sure how useful it is to say that (aur.)archlinux.org has IPv6 enabled, what you really care about is the repositories and so on, but those are all spread out so it'll be hard to test all of them. At least could test the official mirrors.
In IPv6 Watch
Seems like it tests a limited list[0] of domains associated with the site or service, with the final result based on a check of their DNS records. For Steam, looks like it only checks <store.steampowered.com>, <steamcommunity.com>, and <help.steampowered.com>. It'd be nice if the site provided an explanation of the process, maybe with some way to expand a particular entry and see which associated domains were tested and which succeeded/failed.
