Apparently we're supposed to be outraged that web browsers allow entry of 0.0.0.0 as a URL, but the part that surprised me on my desktop Linux computer when I tried netcat and ping, was that some part of the OS changed it to 127.0.0.1 and carried on like I meant localhost.

RFCs (which specify e.g. 0.0.0.0) where 'Request for Comments'. Changed smoothly to specs... A very big black hole meanwhile

Depending on the context, 0.0.0.0 could be null, a placeholder, any address, or even self-referential. It's the general purpose address to butcher as you please. Don't expect it to route anywhere though even if the intent is self-referencing. Loopbacks are specific though. It's got one job.
Sooooo... if a tool wants to translate 0.0.0.0 as a loopback, technically that's kinda ok-ish... depending on who you ask and the moon phase of course.

The debug data must flow,
Heigh-ho the merry-O,
A-gathering we will go!
The inbox has bug reports from labs spread around the building. All of them included some debug data, just not all of it, so I'm getting my steps in this morning. I'm planning on running four miles at lunch. 
Please make allowances; it's Friday before what is going to be a strenuous weekend and I haven't even had my first cup of ![Java | [Coffee]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/coffee.gif) yet.

Confession time: At the start of the pandemic when I was working from home, the running and cycling came to a screeching halt. I started exercising again last December (elliptical machine) and running in early March. It's been a little rough but it's become a habit again. I feel like I've gotten a part of my self back.Jeremy Falcon wrote: I'm soooooooo out of shape, like really.
Hey, you've been there before. You know what you need to do, and when you're ready you'll get back to it.

I got a robo call, nobody speaks when I answer. I'm bored so I decided to call the number back after hanging up on the robot. Some dude answered, denies it was a robo call (lying I'm sure), and then this starts...
Me: Nobody appreciates unsolicited calls these days.
Telemarketer: This isn't an unsolicited call.
It was. They were trying to offer me a "loan" which I'm sure is a scam.
Me: Why you are arguing with me dude?
Telemarketer: Gets angry... I'm not arguing with you.
Few rounds of blah blah blah.
Me: Have a nice day. Good bye. Hang up on him while he's going off.
For the life of me, I can't understand why people do this. Do folks actually fall for this crap? Especially when home dude needs to pull the stick out?

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

In some places this is a type of scam as because when you answer they hang up. If you ring back the number you can be charged excessive call costs and hence how they make there money.
