I write 127.1 all the time when I'm too lazy to type 127.0.0.1. Then I'm sad when it doesn't work because the nearest ip address parser wasn't written in the previous millennium. Oh, yeah, and 1.1 is the only DNS server address I memorized. |

I remember it was a few days after they came out with 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 that it dawned on my that I could drop the zeroes. I’d been wondering why they hadn’t chosen 1.2.3.4, but once I realised 1.0.0.1 was just 1.1, it became fairly obvious why they had chosen it.
(P.S. mtr’s stripchart with latency information is super great for this sort of thing; I have MTR_OPTIONS=--displaymode=2 set in my environment.)
