Welcome to Programmer Humor!
This is a place where you can post jokes, memes, humor, etc. related to programming!
For sharing awful code theres also Programming Horror.
I find it pretty funny these days how often I see people getting paranoid about their IP address when back in the 90's/early 2000's it was common to show other people their own IP in chat rooms or on forums to scare them and it didn't work because most people understood it didn't matter.
Hey! That's my IP address whenever the script kiddies are boasting in chat. How did he get it?
No place like 127.0.0.1
my best friend in high school (also a nerd) gave me a shirt that says that over 20 years ago! now my son wears it ha. thanks thinkgeek!

No place like localhost?
No place like home!

The Wizard of Oz (1939) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJ6VT7ciR1o
I was really hoping it was dubbed.
That IP address is coming from inside the house!

Hey! I once hacked that guy. Dude had left every port open.
Hah! What an idiot.
Your comment has 127 points. Would be funny if mine has 0, the comment below mine too, but than someone has 1 point.
Anyways. How are you doing today?
I look forward to them trying to DDOS that address
Oh shit, he's good. He DDOS'd me right back.
What kind of resources does this guy have? I don't think governments can even do proportional and instantaneous DDOS responses. I messed with the wrong dude.
Okay back in the days of IRC, I met this script kiddie who said he’d hack me, just give him my IP address. So I sent him his IP address and he disappeared suddenly.
What good is a script kiddie if they cannot find an IP?
There was that one bash.org quote where a script kiddie was given 127.0.0.1 as part of an "oh yeah I dare you" taunt after he said he could hack anyone, and he fell for it hook line and sinker. He was posting things like "Hahaha your K drive is being deleted! Now your H drive! [connection reset by peer]" and right after that the challenger was like "I don't even have a K drive."
(RIP bash.org though. I would have tried to link it otherwise)
Bash.org is gone!?! No!!!
Yeah. RIP bash.org, where introverted people could read chat logs of other like-minded introverts. And I don't even /s this, I genuinely miss this stuff...
Average hosts file (> 100k loc) in Windows. Or did they fix this?
My IP is in this photo and I don't like it.
::1 gang rise up
I'm so glad someone posted this. I was going to lol
How come you know my IP !?
Oh shit! So is mine!
tip: add this to your html for it to automatically follow browser settings for dark mode: <meta name="color-scheme" content="light dark">
another tip: in firefox, go to about:preferences > general > fonts > advanced > proportional > sans serif
Security tip: Never post your home address on social media.
It could loopback to you...
Reminds me of the meme of someone making a website with AI and then said to a bro his programming days were over.
And then proceeds to send the localhost address to the guy.
It wasn't even a localhost address, it was a file:// URL if I remember correctly.
Yeah, every time I hear something like that I giggle. AI might replace us one day, but it's no where near good enough yet.
Wait, I remember that address… it’s the Tor SOCKS5 proxy address! He’s the darkweb guy!
That's probably a VNC/local server listener.
tor listens for socks on 9050 by default. tor uses 5400 as the default DNS port.
But technically he's right
tries to hack into it
"Oh no, someone is trying to hack into me too!"
