minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•1 year agoso what does it do besides printing a penguin next to the ping stats?
minus-squareBenOPlinkEnglish3•edit-21 year agoThis is a little bit like saying ‘What does a pen do, apart from write?’ It also looks very cool - cool enough that even people don’t find things cute will actually change their normal ping to this JUST because it’s cute. Pingu has 2k stars on github However, if you like pings you could also go with gping for a graph… but they’re all just bloat - better stick with fping, right? ;)
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•1 year agoIn this analogy a pen would be regular ping. A helpful little utility. Pingu would be a pen that looks fancy. Still does the same, just looks fancy.
minus-squareBenOPlinkEnglish2•1 year agoFancy, yes. Not the same. For example: ping -a -c5 lemmy.world gives you an audible ‘drip’ sound for the ping. But people LOVE Pingu.
