  • Okay , what is this ?

  • must be in memory of john farnhams the last time, which was 21 years ago if i remember correctly.
    RIP, though I didn't even know he was sick.

    • he's not dead, although he did have a major surgery done due to cancer, probably won't sing again, but who knows, maybe he will

      • I guess it's better to publicly say your farewells when he's still alive rather than waiting until he's dead so he can't find out about them. This easter egg is a fitting tribute, I bet when Farnsy did the trace route he had the biggest grin on his face.

  • Some years ago, someone made the Star Wars opening crawl in a traceroute.

    Doesn't seem to work any more, at least on my connection.
