Google in our every ping







Google in our every ping

Google in our every ping 04/09/2004 03:56 PM

I noticed a little something while sitting next to a felow hax0r at the local coffee shop yesterday that made me realize just how deeply The Google had penetrated day-to-day *nixing.

A few years back the "international greeting" (as I called it) for checking whether or not you were online and with DNS was to type: ping yahoo.com. Now, it seems--I've noticed this switch in myself and others, but can't be sure just when it happened--this is: ping google.com.

It's not, mind you, that yahoo.com has become unreachable or unstable; just the Google has so come to represent the very essence of stability and reachability that it's made its way to our every ping.

I used to joke in my sysadmin days (I'm in recovery now) that the default for ping without argument should be ping yahoo.com. Now make that ping google.com.

Rael recently noted a shift among Unix folk in pinging google.com instead of yahoo.com when checking for network availability: It's not, mind you, that yahoo.com has become unreachable or unstable; just the Google has so come to represent the very essence of stability and reachability that it's made its way to our every ping. While Google rules the ping space, Yahoo is still tops of the Web in terms of...

Starting tomorrow for the balance of the week, Siva Vaidhyanathan will be guest blooging about his new book, The Anarchist in the Library. I'll be caught up by the weekend, and back with good news next week. Sorry for the delay.

Go Simon or Please, Please Ping

Simon just posted this:

Blogs I would read a lot more often if only they pinged weblogs.com when they updated:

Without pings, they languish at the bottom of my blogroll where I won't notice or visit them. My blogroll is my only mechanism for keeping track of the blogs that I read regularly - aggregators just don't do it for me, and with tabbed browsing my blogroll is almost as efficient for staying up to date.

It doesn't have to be weblogs.com - a ping to blo.gs would be just as effective. [_Go _]

Simon is definitely on point here at least from the {InsertNewNameHere] perspective of my new RSS search engine.  We index in two ways but more frequently via monitoring www.weblogs.com.  We'll probably set up our own ping interface and hook to the blo.gs info if we can but getting into weblogs.com just makes sense.

Ping Tunnel 0.60 (Default branch)


Ping Tunnel 0.60 (Default branch) 04/15/2005 09:18 AM
Ping Tunnel is a tool for reliably tunneling TCP connections over ICMP echo request and reply packets (commonly known as ping requests and replies). It is useful for evading firewalls that, for whatever reason, prevent outgoing TCP connections, but allow in- and outgoing ICMP packets. The tunnel works by having a proxy run on a machine ping-able from the inside of the firewall, with the client running on the local machine from which TCP access is required.
Changes:
This release adds support for authentication, allowing users to protect access to the ptunnel proxy using a password. This release also fixes a number of small bugs, and adds a man page.

I'm a bit confused by what Jarrett is claiming about Yahoo's RSS stuff: George has discovered the hidden cost of Yahoo’s embrace of RSS. It only refreshes the RSS feeds it allows you to put on your My Yahoo! page if the source of the feed pings Yahoo’s ping server. (Details in George’s post, from Yahoo! tech support, or on their page for publishers.) Well, that's simply not true. The word "only" is what makes it false. The pinger simply...

As a follow-up to last week's launch of RSS in My Yahoo! I'd like to describe how amazingly simple it is to configure MovableType to ping Yahoo's RSS database each time you post to your weblog. But first I should explain why you want to do that... Simply put, if you ping Yahoo, you content makes it into My Yahoo much faster. Otherwise, left to it's own motivations, the crawler will pull your RSS feed every so often (more often...
