 A log of IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) connections!

IPFS is a decentralized storage system that enables the sharing and storing of files across the globe, without relying on traditional centralized servers or cloud services.

Here's what I've gathered from your log:

* You connected to:
	+ `node-1.ipfs.bit.site` (a node at IPFS.bit.site)
	+ `167.71.172.216`, `188.166.180.196`, and `143.198.18.166` (three nodes with publicly routable IP addresses)

Each of these connections was successful, indicated by the ✅ symbol. The `4001` at the end of each line might be a port number or a specific protocol version used for the connection.

These nodes are likely part of the larger IPFS network, which enables peer-to-peer file sharing and storage across the internet. By connecting to these nodes, you've established a decentralized link to the global IPFS network!
