[TIL] You can ping 2600:: for a quick IPv6 connectivity test that doesn't depend on DNS

TIL
Post Body
In the past I've used ping ipv6.google.com, but that depends on successful DNS resolution. I did a search for a short, easy to memorize IPv6 address to ping that didn't require Google, and I came across this one:
2600::
$ ping6 2600::
PING 2600::(2600::) 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 2600::: icmp_seq=1 ttl=50 time=37.9 ms
64 bytes from 2600::: icmp_seq=2 ttl=50 time=37.6 ms
64 bytes from 2600::: icmp_seq=3 ttl=50 time=37.7 ms
^C
--- 2600:: ping statistics ---
3 packets transmitted, 3 received, 0% packet loss, time 2333ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 37.626/37.794/37.974/0.142 ms
Maybe it might be old news to everyone else, but I didn't know about it. Figured there might be a few others that didn't know about it either.
