A "super ping" command to run while diagnosing network issues

Here's a bash function for your bash profile that continuously prints some basic checks I usually do while diagnosing network issues:

• Show my LAN IPs
• Show the default gateway IP
• Ping the default gateway IP
• Ping 8.8.8.8 (Google's public DNS servers)
• DNS resolve amazon.com
• Ping amazon.com
• Get my WAN IP by curl'ing ifconfig.me

Tested on Ubuntu 20.04 and MacOS Catalina

function pingg() {
    while true; do
        printf "%s  " $(TZ=UTC date "+%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S")
