@C0D4 It means don't broadcast.
255.255.255.255 is the broadcast address for the network. -
C0D4669025y@nirmaldalmia well sure, but it's actually a subnet mask, hence where you loose the context of the joke.
What this should be is a 54.213.12.27 (as in public) -
In udp x.x.x.255 is a broadcast address. But broadcast is just for subnet right? Or can you broadcast across all subnets? If that were possible ppl would be doing DDOS on the whole internet. Right?
So yeah, the joke was good. I understood it as broadcast. -
You'll need IPv6 otherwise you wouldn't be able to address all human population
