    Approximately 29 years ago, I was in the MSN multiplayer client for Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II (stop judging me, I know almost every word of that sentence fragment indicates that I’m old) and someone linked something that would log the IP of anyone who accessed it. When I, a naive 9-year old, opened it, they copied my IP and posted it in the public chat.

    I was so freaked out that I disconnected from the internet and unplugged my computer.
