On the game/bracket: it narrowed me down to Noto Sans Mono and I'm honestly not surprised, it's one of the few fonts that comes with my operating system that I find acceptable.

That being said, what I actually have my terminal and Emacs set to is “AcPlus IBM VGA 8x16” from https://int10h.org/oldschool-pc-fonts/. I've always been fond of the VGA font and it tickles all the right usability marks for me.

There are indeed only a few private-reserved IPv4 ranges, and almost everyone prefers to keep things memorable and easy to type; you get a lot of 10.0.0.0/24, 192.168.0.0/24, 192.168.1.0/24 as a result. That, and common household routers tend to default to one of these three /24 subnets. (Hardly anyone seems to remember that 172.16.0.0/12 exists, feel free to use that if it happens to work for you.)

IPv6 does solve this issue in a few major ways, one of which is the greater expectation to rely on globally routable addresses, of which every one of your devices will have at least one such address. There's also fc00::/7 which is fairly equivalent to the IPv4 private ranges, though to avoid conflicts in random VPNs you should generate a random /64 prefix inside of this, otherwise you run the risk of everyone picking fc00::/64 because it's easy to remember/type (I'm guilty of this myself, but the VPNs I've configured just go into a random 172.16.0.0/12 subnet and no v6 assigned. I have the liberty that I currently don't need/use any VPNs that I haven't personally configured, and that may not hold true in the future.)

Just a trivial example here:

Sounds like a fun thought, but almost certainly untrue: https://www.swissmicros.com/product/dm42

All new PCs sold in the late 1990s handedly beat these specifications. On CPU, storage, RAM, and display. The DM42 firmly remains an embedded system that's just enough for the calculator software and not much more.

If you want to take it back to the early 1980s, you start reaching the claim being true.
