Have I mentioned fuck loopback?

I mean, yeah. Out of all 4,294,967,296 ipv4 addresses, fuck *that one*.

Back then when radio was still black and white, and when we used our fingers for counting and the dick as parity bit, there was IRC and Windows 95.

Sometimes, a script kiddie (yeah, these were as dumb back then) would become furious and ask (!!) for one's IP to "hack". The so-called Ping of Death was popular. The script kiddie got told 127.0.0.1, and suddenly script kiddie was gone with ping timeout.

@Fast-Nop when pings alone were enough to drop someone's 56k modem 😇
