"Hey, I need a transfer to 172.20.100.93."

"I'm sorry sir, there's no route to that host."

127.0.0.1, sir you've been on here all day.

Honestly if they did have numbers like that though it would help me remember, especially if the IPs were set to streets. 15.17.2.32:0820

Bus travels streets 15th and 17th from 2nd to 32nd, from 8am to 8pm

Seriously? Americans will do anything to avoid the metric system

[-] gingernate@sopuli.xyz 22 points 2 days ago

We don't even have public buses

[-] entropicdrift@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 2 days ago

Sure we do. Just only in and around cities

Made me laugh!

[-] dan69@lemmy.world 31 points 2 days ago

Thank god it’s not ipv6 up there.

[-] purplemonkeymad@programming.dev 11 points 2 days ago

But we are running out of unique bus numbers! What will we do when they run out?

[-] dan69@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

We have make sure it’s not using broadcast id and host id first.

Won't work in many other parts of the world, where there are actual street names instead of boring stuff like 15th and 17th

[-] Eheran@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago

Wait, that was not supposed to be the house number? That is the actual street "name"? Ooof

[-] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Yeah I meant like this.

10.9.42.96:0422

Bus runs up 10th and down 9th from 42nd Street to 96th street. From 4am to 10pm (Made up route, just figured it would be an easy example)

[-] Eheran@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

And that is supposed to be easier than 2 digits or something you have to look up on a chart?

[-] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Unless the chart is readable on the bus driving towards you and you're deciding if you want to get on, yes. Step 1 for getting on a bus shouldn't be, access the Internet in my opinion. Nor should every other corner need to have signage and what not that blocks walking access and the view of drivers/pedestrians if we are going to share the same traveling spaces. I just want to see the bus, and say I can take that up 15 blocks to save the walk in the rain.

A lot of places name and number their roads, but yeah I know what you mean. Id prefer it if all streets were numbered. Did I pass Moss Cove? Not sure this is Pine Street, next is Willow Road, vs did I pass 17th, not sure this is 19th and next is 20th

[-] mr_satan@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 days ago

Jokes on you, there's no number in our street names.

"Wrong subnet. You will have to take a different route."

"Here, take this loopback device and then get off at the wlan hub, then take the ten-oh-ninety 2 stops through wireguard valley"

This comment makes me believe that you would enjoy the game Derail Valley Simulator. It's a VR Train Sim that isn't as crazy intensive on hardware as Train Sim World. I play it on a monitor as I don't have a VR setup, but I am seriously considering getting the Steam VR headset now.
