We have confiscated all the laptops we could find sir. They had a TERMINAL open. Filthy hackers!

[-] nichtburningturtle@feddit.org 7 points 1 month ago

Bold of you to assume they know what a terminal is.

But they were hacking all the IPs simultaneously!

[-] nichtburningturtle@feddit.org 14 points 1 month ago

They had 127.0.0.1. That's my IP!!!!

What are you talking about, that's mine scumbag!

Reminds me of the bash.org Napster entry. For posterity:

#104052 + (14264) - [X]
<NES> lol
<NES> I download something from Napster
<NES> And the same guy I downloaded it from starts downloading it from me when I'm done
<NES> I message him and say "What are you doing? I just got that from you"
<NES> "getting my song back fucker"

TIL you can set a custom one

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago

Well no

127.0.0.1/8 points back to localhost

[-] ulterno@lemmy.kde.social 0 points 1 month ago

Even better. If you are programming all networking H/W yourself, you can even ignore address conventions and reserved addresses.
