I don't know how dull it is, but I think I have 2**16 bits of dullness here.
Actually you just have 16 bits of unsigned dullness.
An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine or advice forum.
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions, identify objects or get advice. We accept very few questions, and they must be over topics much more difficult than what is easily discoverable with a search. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. Not hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.
8. All polls must have an "Africa, by Toto" option. Why? Because we hear the drums echoing tonight.

How many things will break if Cloudflare would block pings to 1.1.1.1.
It was only a few years back (2018) that Cloudflare released 1.1.1.1. I remember reading a cool post about how when they turned it on (which I believe was earlier than this public announcement) they got significant volumes of traffic from all the equipment assuming 1.1.1.1 was not a valid address (up to that point it was not allocated to anyone).
I wish I could find the post but can't find the one I was thinking of. It had details of the specific volume of traffic and the sources.
Ohh, many things! I'm sure its hard coded by this point into lots of "robust" shell scripts and as a magic number in yaml files all over the world.
Cloud computing would die immediately
That's amazing!
