we should have a value for "limited connectivity" where some pings go through and some don't.
We shouldn't limit functionality unless we are 100% we are offline

Marking this as important because not every pinged address is required for every internet-connected service. Services should only be disabled when their relevant domain(s) cannot be connected to1, and that information is already provided in the underlying internet check.

It would also be helpful to include a limited connectivity icon (e.g. mdi-web-minus) in the status bar, and allow clicking on it to see a summary of which pings domains are failing to respond (and ideally which services cannot be used as a result).

Footnotes

  1. As extra context, a ping can be blocked because a site is down, or because the user or their ISP have intentionally blocked it, and us blocking unrelated functionality when that's the case may come across as problematic.
