  • But tbh, I still don’t see why you can’t just use 10.x but only as many subnets as you need.

    I know jack shit about networking, but I’ve set up OpenWrt routers a couple of times, and set my home network to 10.99. because that was suggested by a ZeroTier tutorial and I thought that’s cool.


  • Could you please explain, how 172.x is different “size” than 10.x? Don’t both of those have 255*255*255 spaces?

    Edit: Ok, I made ChatGPT explain it to me. Apparently, with 172.x the convention is to only use range from 172.16.x.x to 172.31.x.x because that range is designated for private networks under some internet regulations…

    Ultimately, both of those commenters are annoying. Saying “I use Arch btw” is a useless self-serving statement that provides no benefit or information to the audience. But engaging with that message in the manner displayed is also pointless and stupid, even if the statement is correct.
    The saving grace for the “Linux user” commenter is that they are self aware about being annoying, judging by their last comment. So hopefully they were just being ironic. Or rage baiting.

    I use(d) Arch, btw.
