tip: add this to your html for it to automatically follow browser settings for dark mode: <meta name="color-scheme" content="light dark">
another tip: in firefox, go to about:preferences > general > fonts > advanced > proportional > sans serif

The color-scheme meta tag is only fully supported on Safari.

that is theme-color (accent color for browser ui), not color-scheme. color-scheme is supported more, see compatibility table for meta color-scheme

Wait, I remember that address… it’s the Tor SOCKS5 proxy address! He’s the darkweb guy!

That’s probably a VNC/local server listener.

tor listens for socks on 9050 by default. tor uses 5400 as the default DNS port.

I find it pretty funny these days how often I see people getting paranoid about their IP address when back in the 90’s/early 2000’s it was common to show other people their own IP in chat rooms or on forums to scare them and it didn’t work because most people understood it didn’t matter.

It still seems pretty stupid to most of us. It’s still common knowledge that knowing someone’s IP is meaningless, it’s mostly kids and the technologically inept who don’t understand this in my experience.

Why is it meaningless? It can be very dangerous for people to know your IP address - especially if you’re one of the many people who are “scared” of it (because the dangers pertain mostly to them).
