Followup on RD/C post about "current IP" not in rangeblock
Hi zzuuzz, this is just a update from me regarding that RD/C post where the university's IP was somehow blocked from editing even though the IP did not actually fall into the blocked IP range that was displayed in the block message.
Just today, I stumbled across the same thing on my phone's 4G cellular network! Earlier today I've had to switch over to my phone hotspot from my home FTTP broadband due to a major network outage apparently caused by an act of "vandalism" on a fibre/copper cable running along underneath a bridge (that's what Chorus has said on their website), which is still unresolved as of now. Anyways, if I click the edit button on a private browsing window, I get a "This IP address is blocked from editing" banner, and it will say that the blocked IP range is 122.56.192.0/20. This is the exact same IP range that I had previously encountered over at university. However, it also says that my current IP address is 115.189.89.153, which does not fit into that 122.56.x.x range.
If I go to the talk page button in the upper-right corner and do a preview on a talk page message submission, the IP address that appears is the current one and not an address that is in that blocked range, and there is no red banner saying that the current IP address is blocked anywhere on the page either.
One very important thing worth noting, is that earlier today, i.e. several connection resets ago, the "current IP address" I was on, was actually in that blocked 122.56.x.x range! So I'm guessing this could be some sort of "caching" or maybe an "autoblock" thing that's going on (although it does not say anywhere on the IP blocked banner that it is an autoblock).
I'm not actually asking for help, I just thought I'd add to the curiosity and let you know that this issue is not exclusive to the university network only, as you can see. — AP 499D25 (talk) 12:42, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

I always come to you ...
... when I need a check on weird. Here are the accounts:
I blocked 'em all as NOTHERE, although it's pretty obvious they're either socks or meat. Are there others? Is this an LTA (I'm guessing yes)? There are also some pages I deleted that have interesting stuff, like "Yoshi is bad and fat. Bbbbbbbb." (Adlorpy's userpage), which seems to be a reference to me, and wasn't there a functionary whose username was similar to Yoshi a long time ago?--Bbb23 (talk) 00:51, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
