   it turns out it's a lot easier to get to localhost when you don't accidentally spell it "localhoast"

     @moemoe I tried to ask google translate what the english version of the german "horst" was and it told me it's equivalent to the english word "horst".

     NOT HELPFUL, GOOGLE

     @moemoe oh I see! that explains why.

     google translate seems to think it's a geology term

     @foone Yeah, Horst is Horst.

     It's a german first name, but somehow started to represent a very dumb and unreflecting person, and is sometimes used as a swear word.

     @moemoe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horst_(geology)

     apparently it's "a raised fault block bounded by normal faults."

     @foone I would love to see Horst as a geolocical term. Although I don't have a clue what it could mean.

     @8petros localhoax is the official name of that trick I used to do on customer's computers:
     see, you need to reinstall their email client, but 1. they don't know their password. 2. outlook won't tell you.

     But outlook doesn't care if you change your mail domain to localhost, and run a tiny server on it that just listens to the username/password it's gonna send in plain text.

     @foone @moemoe
     Just make sure you don't get an idea of getting a grip on even an infinitesimally small part of the German language…

     https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adlerhorst
     https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horst_(Botanik)

     These two are also referred to as Horst:

     @barubary I used to run a meme image site and I would tunnel localhost to the living-at-my-parents-house version of the server because if I did it over SSH I'd not get throttled by my university's weird traffic shaping.

     so it was my lolcathost
