Had no idea this was even a thing… Duck DNS just went down earlier today, and I was completely unaware. I had just updated a bunch of my containers, ironically everything seemed fine, but nothing was working. After checking everything, the common link was my domain. First time I've run into this as I've only been self-hosting for like 3–4 months. Anyway, this put me on a path to save myself from looking for problems that don't exist.

I was going to use uptime kuma and have it email me when the service was down, but I noticed the Signal thing and was blown away. It's so cool now that it's all setup. Relatively easy and straight forward. Highly recommend it.
