I think their 8.8.8.8 DNS server has a pretty impressive track record for I think over 10 years. I know many people who changed their dns to 8.8.8.8 when they thought their DNS was shitty.

Back in highschool (15yrs ago) pinging a DNS server was something I sometimes did when fixing people's internet, always used 212.142.28.66. No idea why it's still in my head so much later, 8.8.8.8 sure is a lot easier to remember.

Which is cloudflare's IP, to be clear. I'm a fan, but I like transparency.

1.1 is even easier (1.0.0.1)

You misunderstand, `1.1` _is_ `1.0.0.1`, there are multiple ways to represent IP addresses.
