127.0.0.1, sir you've been on here all day.
Honestly if they did have numbers like that though it would help me remember, especially if the IPs were set to streets. 15.17.2.32:0820
Bus travels streets 15th and 17th from 2nd to 32nd, from 8am to 8pm
Seriously? Americans will do anything to avoid the metric system
We don't even have public buses
Sure we do. Just only in and around cities

Thank god it’s not ipv6 up there.
But we are running out of unique bus numbers! What will we do when they run out?
We have make sure it’s not using broadcast id and host id first.
Won't work in many other parts of the world, where there are actual street names instead of boring stuff like 15th and 17th
Wait, that was not supposed to be the house number? That is the actual street "name"? Ooof
Yeah I meant like this.
10.9.42.96:0422
Bus runs up 10th and down 9th from 42nd Street to 96th street. From 4am to 10pm (Made up route, just figured it would be an easy example)
And that is supposed to be easier than 2 digits or something you have to look up on a chart?
Unless the chart is readable on the bus driving towards you and you're deciding if you want to get on, yes. Step 1 for getting on a bus shouldn't be, access the Internet in my opinion. Nor should every other corner need to have signage and what not that blocks walking access and the view of drivers/pedestrians if we are going to share the same traveling spaces. I just want to see the bus, and say I can take that up 15 blocks to save the walk in the rain.
A lot of places name and number their roads, but yeah I know what you mean. Id prefer it if all streets were numbered. Did I pass Moss Cove? Not sure this is Pine Street, next is Willow Road, vs did I pass 17th, not sure this is 19th and next is 20th
Jokes on you, there's no number in our street names.

"Here, take this loopback device and then get off at the wlan hub, then take the ten-oh-ninety 2 stops through wireguard valley"
This comment makes me believe that you would enjoy the game Derail Valley Simulator. It's a VR Train Sim that isn't as crazy intensive on hardware as Train Sim World. I play it on a monitor as I don't have a VR setup, but I am seriously considering getting the Steam VR headset now.
thanks for the recommendation!
I showed this to my gf and said "hah look baby, IP on the bus"
She said "ew, that's disgusting why would you do that?"
Turn her off then on again, see if it fixes things.
Otherwise, I suggest you simply switch girlfriend providers
Sounds like he already turned her off. The challenge is the next step.
I showed this to my gall bladder and said "heh, look little dude, IP address on a bus"
He gurgled "I'm surprised you have the balls to say that"
You just revealed the IP address of a device near you, and thus your location! Learn better OPSEC! /s
Tbf it's not that hard to find a location of a bus, IP or not.
That's correct, it's in the town of Ödåkra, and the round glassy building reflecting in the window is the Väla shopping center.
Tfw the 5000 population town you grew up in is mentioned on Lemmy 😳
First I assumed you lived close by, but then I saw in your username that you are Czech. So now I assume that you are some geoguessr wiz that can recognize any shopping center in the world from a reflection in a bus window.
I don't play Geoguessr, and I don't even really know which countries have left side driving or yellow paint. I am good with maps though, and there were only around 10 stops on the route @ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com identified, and the size of the building and parking lot narrowed it down to a few.

What do you think of my teapot website? http://127.0.0.1:418/

I'm a teapot. I cannot brew coffee, sorry!
Well, the bus driver invited the editor in chief of Aftonbladet to the weekly staff meeting, so that horse already bolted 🤷

Sorry, this is a PCMCIA bus.

Skåne 🤑
A Scania bus in Skåne is definitely in its local network.
Skåne County (Swedish: Skåne län [ˈskôːnɛ ˈlɛːn]), sometimes referred to as Scania County or just Scania in English, is the southernmost county.
Wow I knew Paris had a weird bus numbering system but this takes the cake /j
Even still I find this a bit shortsighted. You never know if in the future there might be more than 4 billion bus lines and you run out of numbers.

I would have thought that was Sweden, from the Swedish on the vehicle
Yes. But Sweden has a sensible bus numbering system so the joke wouldn't work.
RIP
