The Janx Devil

@sarajw @mhoye On that note, I recently learned about how the original group of ENIAC programmers were all women. One of them is credited with having invented the debugger breakpoint.

@altim@mastodon.nl @js@mastodon.nl The USA wasn’t a haven for lots of people in the 1930s.

@iagox86@infosec.exchange But NAT is good. They make home networks secure!

@darkuncle@infosec.exchange @paul_ipv6@infosec.exchange I trace it back to the Telecommunications Act of 1996. So *thirty* years, not twenty.

@tzimmer_history Yeah, that is totally not an answer to “Why only now and not before? Or later?” Proof that your interlocutors are not engaging with the central point, and they are engaging with something tangential. Maybe whatever it is they want to engage with is interesting, maybe not, but it doesn’t sound like they are prepared to do it.

@thatdawnperson I am told that ugly baby goats do exist, but I have never seen one.

@mhoye@cosocial.ca Don’t forget the spectacular suggestion by our recently converted vice president suggesting that the Pope needs to go to catechism.

That’s a word choice.

@dwenius More likely it was fabricated drama meant to give political cover to military logistics operations are tricky to conduct in secret.

@GeePawHill I suspect the next stop is to reverse Lawrence and then go after Griswold. They’ll probably avoid eviscerating the 13th amendment because it already has the exploit they need written into it from the start.

@smerp I regret to inform you that caching negative responses is a critical feature of the protocol if you want any link with a non-trivial number of hosts on it to have any bandwidth left after handling all the mDNS traffic.

@smerp All I can tell you is that every last damned weird bullshit thing about mDNS-SD is there because a) people refused to adopt SLP and b) mDNS-SD as bad as it is was still better than LLMNR. You may think it's doing weird shit that makes no sense, but I assure you if it were different, then there would be insanely weird cascading failures attributed to it that would get everything trying to use it banned. I was there when it was in development, and I tried to stop them, but the basic logic of mDNS-SD could not be stopped. It is what it is because nothing better had supporters with money, and it was the least bad thing that could actually be deployed. https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2608

@brouhaha Responding to alerts about recent bad changes in velocity with dismissive remarks about position is lazy. It can still come to suck so much worse if the velocity is not reversed soon.

@ceejbot So did I.

@mattblaze@federate.social I think it was sabotaged, not squandered.

@miss_rodent@girlcock.club @eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place You want ANATHEM. It’s okay. I would prefer ANATHEM over whatever hellscape this is.

@js@mastodon.nl @altim@mastodon.nl Not to mention La Amistad. By which I mean to say there were a lot of people in the USA in the 1930s who it is fair to say were not living in any kind of haven from fascist terror.

@karlauerbach@sfba.social I too was deeply demoralized when even the SF League Of Pissed Off Voters went so far as to give him a very grudging endorsement as a tactical vote. Like, seriously not gonna lie to you: if it’s really a choice between November having no Democrats on the ballot or November being a choice between that motherfucker and some GOP panty sniffer, then I am legitimately undecided about which of those two options is worse.

@ceejbot@toot.cat Death Sidious: Do it!
