Absolutely cherry picked. Let us know if you peruse the source:

Without cherry picking… imagine these will be resized to the point of illegibility:

It’s like they’re ignoring the pixel I captured in the bottom left!

Really interesting analogy.

Also I imagine most anybody who gets a photo labeled will find a trick before making their next post. Copy the final image to a new PSD… print and scan for the less technically inclined… heh

lol fair. Point taken!

Not a counterpoint to you, but a shoutout to this one doc:

You reminded me of a time 15 years ago when I very timidly mentioned to a doctor that I did do a very quick Google search, and the doctor quickly affirmed me: "hey, Google is a source!" or something like that. I further explained something like "OBVIOUSLY I came here to talk to a person with REAL medical experience, which is why I feel silly bringing it up, but ..."

I'm thankful I wasn't searching for how to purify toxins with sterile beverages. Thank you :)

Most succinct yet informative possible description of IsThereNet, I think :)

u won't

I am so installing this! Will be very useful beyond the simple use case in my OP. Thanks Data.

Clever! Thanks for finding those links too.

Ah, my threat model isn't that Snowden, thanks.

you could get a false negative

Good point. Will keep that in mind in general. (For this specific use case? Maybe it's fine since if I see the red bar while my apps are still working, I could ignore it - but now I'll think back to your comment and understand maybe Cloudflare is experiencing an issue. In which case I'll check their status pages and wouldn't be surprised to see some news article or complaints too!)

Thank you, and thanks for the counterpoint @TaviRider@reddthat.com

In 2004 I would not have understood why!

Naughty naughty 🙂

Good alternative, thanks!

Neat - thanks. Looks like one could use the following, but not necessary:

    
208.67.222.222  
208.67.220.220

  

Thanks for the explanation and easily digestible analogy :)

Thanks everybody!

(1) ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) Echo Requests hardly constitute a burden on a server.
(2) There is little privacy concern simply exposing your IP to Cloudflare.
(3) Uptime-Kuma can be self hosted to accomplish this task with more bells and whistles.
(4) There is an appetite for daydreaming of DDOSing bad Alphabetic actors ;) You civilly digidisobedient rascals!

How do you explain me sticking to the fridge?

Good laying out the cost-benefit here.

there would also be papers with research, and I'm better off reading that.

I had this in mind: that eventually somebody links some paper where they’ve read the abstract… then it’s sensible to read the whole thing and see if it’s worth discussing with someone qualified I suppose.

Thanks 🙂

Thanks for the great input everybody!

Haha might just ask “hey does the gearbox ever rumble like that?”, that’s all 🙂

s/o to old school car forums who’ve guided my way when I’ve known zero, btw

Good point.

Would you take a risk when reading from someone who may be lying to you, to the point you would

scribble down some questions to ask your own medical folks
