In response to 0.0.0.0 day, Firefox Nightly version 131 had introduced a new security measure: blocking access to 0.0.0.0/::/::ffff:0.0.0.0 addresses.

    I didn’t even realize 0.0.0.0 was a valid address to enter into a browser! TIL.

      On Linux it is just a catch all address (listen on all interfaces)

      Elsewhere it doesn’t do anything since I don’t believe it is part of the networking standards

        Yeah I’m familiar with that part, I just meant in context of a browser being able to connect to it.

    The linked blog post explains about the vulnerability, I thought it was quite interesting.

    seriously. I like the federation but people way overuse the spoiler tag or nsfw or whatever. I usually skip over but had to vent. Oh uh. ankle in this one. better make sure no one gets fired over it.

        curiously someone asked me about it but before I could answer as it was my overnight a whole chain went up with folks that solved the mystery. Its something that for some reason is not showing between lemmy and mbin. So mbin users should (not) see it while presumably lemmy users will not realize the tag is there. Honestly I would like mbin to allow me to ignore the tag but apparently saying show nsfw just means the feed will show but it does the tag thing. Don’t get me wrong I would use it but only if users kept to to blocking just completely graphic stuff. I would rather see the graphic stuff than the rediculously mild stuff that gets blured. Maybe its mbin users with the dainty feelings.
