I had a terminal open, running ping to monitor my internet connection earlier. Today I noticed it was close to looping, and I set an alarm to make sure I could watch it loop back to 0.

I don’t know how dull it is, but I think I have 2**16 bits of dullness here.

    I had an old router where if the wifi was bad I would set the ping interval very short and DOS it into rebooting itself.

    It worked and I didn’t have to stand up to reboot it.

      Ohh, many things! I’m sure its hard coded by this point into lots of “robust” shell scripts and as a magic number in yaml files all over the world.
