Hey, it worked. This is just as valid to prove that the internet connection is up.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 20 points 5 months ago (3 children)

Still don't know if it's ip, dhcp or dns.

[–] grueling_spool@sh.itjust.works 31 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Its always DNS

Except for when it isn’t, and even then it sometimes is.

If the test passes, all of these are fine. If it fails, well, you got to dig then.

Great to use DuckDuckGo. Don’t want to rely on Google for anything.

[–] ranzispa@mander.xyz 21 points 5 months ago

For sure I wouldn't use Google to ping Google.

[–] criticon@lemmy.ca 12 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Isn't 8.8.8.8 from Google?

[–] red_tomato@lemmy.world 24 points 5 months ago (1 children)

That’s the joke

[–] criticon@lemmy.ca 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

As long as it's noai.duckduckgo.com

[–] Zubgub@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 5 months ago (1 children)

There is also lite.duckduckgo.com and html.duckduckgo.com for javascript free variants

[–] kilgore_trout@feddit.it 2 points 4 months ago

Those two are great services.

I prefer to use the normal one set to only gen the ai when I click it bc then you keep the option
