[Cialug] Just Tell Me The IP!

Thu May 21 20:10:23 UTC 2020

On the servers where i tested (a mix of Debian and RHEL), lowercase i
always gave 127.0.0.1, while uppercase always gave the useful IP.

I was not aware of the -i argument (in either uppercase or lowercase
forms) until today, so that is useful, thank you.
