Continental Grade NAT: The Final IPv4 Boss Battle

Oh look, someone just committed the cardinal sin of "doxxing" by revealing the super-secret IP address 192.168.0.1 — you know, the default gateway address that's about as private as shouting your name in an empty room. That's like getting banned for revealing that water is wet or that Stack Overflow will close your question for being a "duplicate" of something posted in 2011. Congratulations on exposing the location of... absolutely nobody. Next up: this dangerous hacker will reveal that your password isn't actually "password123"!

Gandalf and Saruman battling it out on top of a WiFi router instead of Orthanc tower. Because let's face it, the real battle in any household isn't good vs. evil—it's who gets to control the WiFi password. "YOU SHALL NOT PASS... more than 100Mbps to your devices!" The router's probably thinking, "I didn't sign up for this fantasy drama, I just want to stream Netflix without being turned into Middle-earth."

That moment when you realize your "no logs" VPN is actually Ned Flanders in a trench coat peeking through your browser history. VPN providers love to advertise their "zero logs" policy while simultaneously watching everything you do like an overly attached ex. It's the digital equivalent of someone promising they're not listening to your conversation while wearing noise-canceling headphones backward. Trust in the cybersecurity world is about as reliable as a chocolate teapot in a sauna.

FIBER OPTIC CABLES: *exist* JOURNALISTS: "HOLD THE PHONE! Are these magical glass straws the secret to slurping internet at the speed of light?!" The absolute DRAMA of tech journalism discovering basic networking technology that's been around since the 1970s! Next headline: "Revolutionary new invention called 'electricity' might power your devices!" Meanwhile, network engineers are having aneurysms in the corner while journalists act like they've discovered alien technology. The disconnect is simply *chef's kiss* magnificent!

The infamous Cloudflare 500 error page – where everything is working except the one thing you actually need. DevOps promised "cutting edge DDoS protection" but apparently forgot to protect us from their own service going down. Classic case of "we've secured everything so well that even legitimate users can't get in." It's like putting a state-of-the-art security system on your house but then losing the only key. The browser works, the host works, but London? London has chosen chaos today.

Oh no! Someone thinks base64 encoding is "strong encryption"! 🤦‍♂️ This is like putting your house key under the doormat and calling it a high-security vault! Base64 is just an encoding scheme that converts binary data to text - it's not encryption at all! It can be decoded by literally anyone with an internet connection in 2 seconds flat. The cherry on top is the user named "acidburnNSA" claiming it's "mathematically unhackable" - which is pure comedy gold! And then someone suggests base16 is equally secure? I can't even! This is the security equivalent of using "password123" and feeling smug about it!
