@april I’m glad you enjoyed it. 😁 I really need to rewrite the backend soon to be compatible with modern kernels.

@april TIL that when I try this on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS not only do i need to install traceroute but I need to add β€”resolve-hostnames to see them
Since when do we not install network utils on a Linux distribution by default?

@april Reminds me of the Star Wars text crawl traceroute which then reminds me of the ASCII art Star Wars telnet server (which is now a web page).

It's been many years, and I'm not near a proper computer so I can't check to see if it's still functioning.

@StarkRG @april It still works. telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl
IPv6 adds features too.

@engarneering @april Excellent! Good to know. Thanks for checking it.

Thanks for the blast from the past.

For some reason I had it in my head it was the "Stallion of Sin" - probably for the alliteration - but it's not
