It’s one thing to volunteer your religious organization as a venue for a memorial, even for someone who wasn’t religious. It’s another to memorialize the person with an explicitly religious service.
"In lieu of traditional flowers, you may bring or send Lego flowers. Those assembled before the service will be part of the Memorial display. Assembly space will be provided for any unassembled flowers. Traditional and Lego flowers can be sent to the church 7/2 between 9-4."
Could you elaborate?
McKinsey types have taken over.
Edit: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20884542 The "Held der Steine" logo lawsuit story is what has made me aware of their practices.
Lidl (if you live in a country where they are active), BlueBricks, or Cobi. But there are half a dozen others which are excellent.
Used Lego is fine, though.

Rest in peace!
Edit: All these (great and much appreciated!) responses of alternatives are making me wonder if this should in fact be a standardized service that could then be offered as a public good in a similar way as pool.ntp.org.
Checking for generic Internet connectivity (i.e. not only having an IP address, but being able to reach public sites, these sites being non-cached, not-captive-portaled etc.) seems like a problem that too many apps, scripts, and devices are solving again and again.
I do like the curl-ability of that one a lot, though, and on my own computer I can just configure an alias or shell function for it :)
You can `curl https://ipinfo.io/` and get a JSON blob back with info on your current IP. If you pass an IP explicitly you can get info back on it, for example `curl https://ipinfo.io/104.26.7.98`. Easy to combine with jq also for use in scripts: `curl https://ipinfo.io/104.26.7.98 | jq -r '.ip'`
For personal use it's free, and they have reasonable pricing for large volume. No affiliation on my part, just a happy user.
This API endpoint has its dedicated stack and infrastructure to support unlimited lookups.
Also, for IPv6 connection use: https://v6.ipinfo.io/ip

I understand the data we have for your IP address is not front and center anymore. We have gone through several iterations of designs for our homepage, so if you have any suggestions, I will relay them to our team.
The issue is that we are truly in a unique space when it comes to internet data. We have gone through several iterations on how to present the full extent of data and not just your public IP address.
If you are a regular user of our service, you know that we have a very open access approach to our data. We provide most of our data for free through our website, we have a generous API, and we have a fully accurate open access licensed database. We also have more free services to be released!
Due to the open data approach, developers appreciate us. We are not trying to create any barriers or friction here, but we are trying to find a balance. If you have any suggestions that can encourage users to explore our data while simultaneously providing everyone with a frictionless experience with our data, please let me know.
You serve people their IP address. There’s tens of sites doing the same in this very thread.
Still, we really appreciate users and software that only use our service to get their public IP address.
I largely own the free product/service side of IPinfo, and it’s common for me to hear from developers that they didn’t know we have a free database they can download or we literally have this database for free on GCP and Snowflake. This happens with a lot of our products. For example, many of our users may even do not know we have a residential proxy detection database that we worked really hard to launch.
How can we improve the adoption of our service here? We would like users to explore the site and, at the same time, give us feedback on the areas where they’re facing friction.

Don’t have the command on hand but easily searchable
dig +short -4 myip.opendns.com @resolver1.opendns.com
DNS also runs a higher risk of being cached or mangled somewhere along the way by middleboxes. HTTPS avoids that problem.
Cloudflare: https://ipv4.icanhazip.com + https://ipv6.icanhazip.com
Akamai: https://ipv4.whatismyip.akamai.com + https://ipv6.whatismyip.akamai.com
The problem with https://checkip.amazonaws.com is that it neither supports IPv6, nor claims that it will remain IPv4-only, so it's not clear what you'll get in the future.
Thanks Kevin.

So much for leaving a legacy with your domain name.
If anyone is looking for an alternative site to check their v6 and v4 addresses, check out this one here:
It also works from the command line, like this:
$ curl ipkitten.com
4.2.2.2
I didn’t realize it was command line friendly!
Lots of solutions out there. I like wasab.is https://wasab.is
curl wasab.is curl wasab.is/json
I hope they give then to a charity/charitable person. I proposed to continue the service ad free, for free to them. Hopefully they accept my proposal. It would be such a shame for the service to become "enshittified" by some greedy company

Perhaps the downvoters would care to explain their actions?
