Some old sites deserve to survive because they were useful, direct, and built by a person instead of a committee. This one qualifies.
The old site existed to do one thing fast: tell you your public IP address. It picked up a few extra networking side quests over the years, but that simple utility was the real value.
This rebuild keeps the good bones, cuts the dead weight, and moves the site onto infrastructure that is much easier to keep alive.
If a feature cannot be supported honestly, it does not ship. The point is a small site that works, not a museum of broken promises.
