Curl those funny IPv4 addresses

Re:Curl those funny IPv4 addresses by fnordist on Monday April 19, 2021 @07:32AM (#26861535)

I like to use these "funny" addresses for two purposes:

  ping 1.1

(1.0.0.1 - cloudflare dns server)

  use 10.1 10.2 10.3 as IP addresses in my home network

(10.0.0.1/24)

off-topic: thanks @Daniel Stenberg for curl and for rockbox back in the day when it first showed me the wonders of open-source.

Didn't know they came from the same person. Thanks for bringing Rockbox back to mind! That was the first custom firmware I've been toying around with, trying to watch scaled down Star Wars - Clone Wars on the tiny 1,5inch screen of my iPod 2G :D

Also I see rockbox is still active. Nice

Nice! Rockbox was the first open source project I was involved in. In the iRiver H120 days. Really cool to see it still alive.
