Second address is technically incorrect. The loopback address subnet 127/8 does not contain private network addresses like 192.168/16, 172.16/12, or 10/8 and doesn’t provide any utility for routing within the local network.

I used to comment quite a bit on reddit, but that was usually to get into technical discussions or political arguments. So far there hasn’t been much technical content for me to sink my teeth into and I have yet to run into posts or comments calling for my extermination so I haven’t felt compelled to say anything. I’m glad that people here are nice, but I miss answering questions about electric circuits, embedded systems, etc.

Here’s hoping that some day soon when people can’t figure out why their op-amp is driven into saturation they don’t post about it on reddit first.
