Also very useful:

curl ifconfig.co (shows your public ip)

I just use an alias

   myip is aliased to `dig +short myip.opendns.com @resolver1.opendns.com'

I do the same! Only catch is, doesn't always work if you're on a restrictive network that only allows udp/53 to a specific DNS (captive portals, corpnets etc). I use a small shell script that tries the DNS trick first, then falls back on HTTP if that times out.

Nice. I like the curl thing because I can hop any any server and not have to worry if I setup an alias or not....I got a lot of servers I am constantly on.

I used to use this a lot, but when I tried yesterday (and same today) I got a Heroku error message :(

Not sure if it's temporary down or fully off.

I get that occasionally too...not sure why, but if you spam it it usually works after 3-4 attempts.
