I love that people forget about 127.0.0.0/8 being the loopback network. Everyone just uses .1 when there are so many to choose from.

  • According ding the the law of minimal keystrokes, there's actually only 9 to choose from.

    After applying the law of minimal motion, you're down to even fewer.

    Then you go a step further to just using 127.1 (or your preferred last digit)

    People also commonly do not know that the reserved for intranet ip address range of 192.168.0.0 is actually /16 so you can pick any number between 0 and 255 for that 3rd byte and have their whole network in a range other that 192.168.0.0/8 like pretty much everybody else.
