For those who want to try it at home:

I am sorry, two random Internet users in Korea and Germany, your IP addresses are simply special.
Obligatory: Fuck Drake.
There are dozens of meme templates like this that you could have used instead
Jesus. If you see a kid with a balloon, do you have a burning need to tell them that there was probably exploitation involved in the harvesting of the rubber?
Also two random internet users in Korea and Germany, your IP addresses are blocked by mail server since I started getting phishing emails from your country.
ping g.co to test ipv6
ping 1.1 also works. It resolves to 1.0.0.1, which is Cloudflare's secondary DNS
For those who are still confused, ping works with 32 bit unsigned integers. While there certainly are more uses, it's a much more convenient method for storing IP address in a database as it's easier to sort and index than 4 numbers separated by 4 periods

it's so simple!
ping -c 4 $(mysql -u frodo -p keepyoursecrets -D /home/pingtargets.db -se "SELECT ip FROM servers ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1;")
Or, if you're me,
$ ping 16843009

Okay, I'm learning networking but have no idea what this means
interesting . . In my head, I think of ip addresses like just decimal values or integers separated by periods, but clearly a decimal value isn't processed as such by a computer. To think that IP addresses are simply strings is pretty interesting to my amateur mind, because for all my life I thought of them as technical computer jargon that isn't the same as what I used to think strings were: words!
