Stay at loopback address, wear a subnet mask?
Stay local, wear 24 bits.
I think they’re trying to say “stay home, wear a mask,” but not great execution
I mean I knew what they meant right away but yeah, it’s not perfect.
Stay localhost wear a 24 bit mask?
You cannot leave the local network. We setup the firewall by cutting the cable
Love the jokes but appreciate the reminder: don’t come to work sick. Even if that bastard tries to get you to. The people they persuaded to work sick are the reason they’re short-staffed today, and it will only get worse if you’re in there infecting others.
The guy in the cubicle next to me sounds like he’s dying. I have my desk fan pointed in his direction in a likely fruitless attempt to keep from being colonized by whatever noxious beasties he is fogging the air with.
Ugh, I hope you’ve got a good mask and the latest flu and covid shots. Not for the sake of your boss! But for your safety and comfort. Maybe your cellmate there could come up with a reason for a half-hour one-on-one with the boss in their office. Coughing and wheezing the whole time.
I have a friend who would totally get this joke… and then lecture me about how we’re all living in fear and COVID isn’t bad and no one should wear a mask and you’re infringing on his rights to wear a mask around him and other nonsense.
Honestly, if we hadn’t been through a lot of shit together in our teens and twenties, I wouldn’t be friends with him. We have a deep bond, but he’s a fucking moron.
He needs someone like you for sure. It seems a lot of people who get radicalized double down so hard they lose their friends and family and then can only justify doubling down further due to the Sunken Cost fallacy.
It’s like with flat earthers: “well I stopped talking to everyone I cared about over this so if it’s not true then that was all for nothing”
I hit my breaking point with a lifelong friend like that in 2020 and severed all ties. Trump did a real number on this country and its people.
Trump is a symptom, not a cause.
He’s both.
Your friends don’t have to be perfect and you shouldn’t feel like you have to defend the love you have for your friend.
I agree and I don’t expect my friends to be perfect, but trust me, this guy is something else. I was going on vacation to Niagara Falls and he told me something like “I was there when I was 13 in a trench coat and a video camera filming all the people with turbans. For a long time, I thought that was stupid, but now I realize it was a good idea.”
Looks like that mask lets a lot in. 255.255.255.255 would be better.
That’s how you die of asphyxiation
Aww, I thought it was the amount of people I am interacting without a mask on… 256 is a lot of people.
170.170.170.170 is best subnet mask. Change my mind.
Stay at home Wear a subnet? Wear a mask? Wear a class A network?
Stay at localhost wear a class C subnet mask.
You are both right and wrong (and the joke is stupid). The loopback-subnet is 127/8, not 127.0.0/24. Class-based Networks are superceded by CIDR since the 90ies. Nowadays it’s ::1 anyways.
I know, but I wanted to make this as long as possible.
Class-based Networks are superceded by CIDR since the 90ies.
I mean yeah, but what do they know anyway? :D
(at work we still call them that)
The joke usually has ~ or ~/ instead of 127.0.0.1 as I recall it, which makes more sense.
A 24 bit subnet mask.
That’s a class C tho. Class A would be 255.0.0.0
If I’m at 127.0.0.1 why would I need to wear a 255.255.255.0?
Stay at loopback address, wear a /24 subnet mask.
A CIDR block
127.0.0.1 has never been “home”. It’s loopback or localhost. ~ or $HOME would be more appropriate.
Stay at ::1 wear a /56
[::1] is strictly /128, I believe.
That’s a good joke.
Stay at home, wear a mask. Good advice, now that COVID is back on the rise!
