Do you by any chance know if historical data for AkaRank is available somewhere?

I have been trying to understand why one of my personal domains, asjo.org, has been getting so much DNS traffic - enough to have been in the top 500 on AkaRank - so it would be fun to be able to plot it over time.

I found a top1K.csv at Internet Archive from November 2025, otherwise I only have the files I have downloaded manually since I was made aware of asjo.org's oddly high place in the ranking in early March.

@edbilodeau @eloy There was a ton accomplished my #MIT Project Athena / IS&T (and Project Andrew at CMU) by staff members in the 80s and 90s, with things like Kerberos coming out as a result. Lots of this was to fill niches in Workstation software. Ironically some of these underly some Microsoft protocols. Student groups like MIT's SIPB were also tightly coupled into this

Lots of that staff left for various reasons, and universities shifted to using off the shelf products. Sadly MIT as a whole is now way behind (eg, very little IPv6) and I suspect the same is true of other schools.

That said, the people leaving schools to go work in industry had a huge impact on how many large Internet companies operate. Aspects of the MIT network certainly influenced how #Akamai was architected in the early days, and some of those patterns seeded how some of the other largest tech companies designed things.
