Your dynamic IP address is now personal data in the EU

To me, the fun part of this is that some jurisdictions seem to mandate saving the IP address and time (e.g. for sites that allow "anonymous" comments, etc.) so law enforcement can demand you tell them who posted the comment they just forced you to delete.

"Ultra-Bitch ModeTM"
I have it under good authority (from a brother who works for them) that bitching them out will get you whatever you want, whenever you want.
I use duckdns for my dynamic dns needs.

violating their terms of service
Time warner Cable (at least in northern maine) is notoriously uncaring about what you do. Torrent? Yeah sure. Run a server? You pay for our service. Give out your credentials to your kids so they can use the internet to not have a cable subscription? This market isn't profitable enough to care.

fuck web developers who make sites that don't work without cookies
*tips hat* You're welcome for making a site that doesn't need cookies for anything, much less for core functionality.

yes, but i've also worked tech support. bitching them out isn't nice.... at least not to start out with. the trick is to be polite but make them aware that ultra bitch mode is an option that is on the table.......

My home IP changes everyday, because my ISP charges extra for having a fixed one.
yeah. mine just started doing that too....
apparently i've been accidentally assigned a fixed IP for years and they just noticed. when i asked why go out of their way to make my IP address constantly change they just hung up.
ever since my IP address changes at least twice a week, usually daily.
You should become a Tor exit node!

@Tsaukpaetra IP addresses in the 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 range are private IPs. In other words, LAN IPs. Based on those screenshots, it looks like they "assigned" those IPs to the IANA, which is technically correct, since they're the ones who have reserved those numbers for that purpose.
RFC1918 name IP address range Largest CIDR block 24-bit block 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 10.0.0.0/8 20-bit block 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 172.16.0.0/12 16-bit block 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 192.168.0.0/16

@Tsaukpaetra still covered it:
it looks like they "assigned" those IPs to the IANA, which is technically correct, since they're the ones who have reserved those numbers for that purpose
But since the 10.0.0.0/8 private network is probably less common than 192.168.0.0/16, I figured it wouldn't hurt to just list them all.

The best kind!

That's approximately 224 addresses, so you'll need a long post.
Please don't.

@dkf Reminds me of reading about somebody sharing a file called "all_IPs.txt", simply listing all IPs starting with 0.0.0.0 and ending on 255.255.255.255, and then watching wannabe-hax0r-script-kiddies download it.

For whatever reason, AOL 3.0 took ~50ms to render <h3>. You could fit about about a thousand <h3> tags in an IM, and send an IM every second...
PCs of the time weren't great at multitasking, either, so often as not, this would freeze the whole OS.{s /con/con
was fun in chat too.

When generated, they have to be in random order for maximum fun.

@ben_lubar you know that's basically what a rainbow table starts as, right?

Maybe that's how they implement web filtering at your company? By routing blocked sites to some random coworker's computer?

There are other ranges that are guaranteed not to appear on a public network. But still shouldn't be used as private ranges. For example
169.254.0.0/16 - link-local
240.0.0.0/4 - 'reserved for future use.'
-
@PJH yeah, link-local addresses shouldn't even be routed far enough to be used as local network addresses.

224.0.0.0/24 — multicast addresses
Used to use those quite a bit at work for multi-way video conferencing back when nobody had enough bandwidth to just use point-to-point for each party or a single hub.
-
My dynamic IP address has not changed in at least 12 months, so yes it can be used by sites to identify me even if it is not 100% reliable which could actually be worse (I could be mis -dentified if/when it does change)
