octet

Bonus if you're working with the first half of a /24, last octet = atomic weight.

That's why each number of an IPv4 address that people are familiar with are called octets.

For extra awesome, you can use the atomic mass of each element as the last octet of the device's IP address.

"I'm quite surprised to learn that Google equates "anonymizing IP addresses" with "chopping off an octet".

As for the "from where," you could get a rough idea of location through GeoIP on three octets, but the result would be generalized.

He's missing the most important part: ensuring that your application code is treating the text as text, not as an octet stream.

You are correct in a general sense but it seems you're stretching the truth a little bit. Since you only get three octets from GIS, it is impossible to know "exactly" how many people visit your site.

[3]The term octet was defined to explicitly denote a sequence of 8 bits because of the ambiguity associated at the time with the term byte.

Each message may be composed of any number of these octets; however, some octet values are used for control codes, which act as message delimiters.

Assuming your network segment doesn't have an administrator actively handing out local addresses, drop 56 random bits in the remaining octets, cross your fingers, and bring up your network stacks.

The order of octets in a UTF-8 code point is fixed, and because a bit is not an addressable unit of memory, the storage order of bits within an octet is immaterial.

It knackers XML encoding transparently inside ARR somehow resulting in clients losing requests as they come down as application/octet-stream rather than what you sent them as.

Content-type: application/octet-stream Content-Disposition: attachment This list was gradually added to over the last 10 years.
