French spelling needs to go on a diet and shed some superfluous letters. We have a city pronounced the same as Bordeaux here in Norway: https://maps.app.goo.gl/vt11qRzt3wvzbhar6
Oh no, you!

“Hey, Uwe, how the shwarzschwanz to you spell ‘boodgy’?!”
– Karl Marx, probably


Yup. And the official training books are still a great resource for learning everything from the basics to more advanced stuff.
I bought an updated set a couple of years ago, and they still hold up.


The first hit is free


It is? I always wrote labels that way, so that the sensitive part could face down in the storage box.


Although not public, I use a rubidium.pl script I wrote at work to interact with a bunch of rubidium clocks.


The dollop made an excellent episode on this guy: The Rube
The people who support mowing down civilians with tanks in an effort to protect authoritarian regimes, just because they label themselves as communist.
Almost 100% overlap with “Murica bad!”, which while true in a vacuum, ignores that other countries can also be bad. This results in tankies unironically supporting the Kim family or doing some heavy revisionism around Stalin.
I’m stealing that gif.
Nine Inch Nails - Closer
Hoobastank - Inside of You
Blood Hound Gang - The Bad Touch
Blood Hound Gang - The Ballad of Chasey Lain
Jimmi Hendrix - Crosstown Traffic
…off the top of my head
Fun Fact: Jimi Hendrix - Fire is, contrary to popular belief, not about this topic. The lyrics are quite literal in nature, telling the story about how he was visiting his band mate’s mothers house on new years eve and he was cold as fuck. The “Move over, rover, let Jimi take over”-line is because there was a German Sheperd in front if the fireplace.


All of these look like glasses Elton John wore in the 70s
45 degrees in Czech Republic: Probably the strongest beer you’ve ever tasted.


OSI model != OSI protocols
CLNS is not a pre-requisite for Layer 3.


Neither TCP, UDP, nor IP, is involved.


Stupid indeed, but of utmost importance.


TCP/IP model is Limited and incomplete.
Fibrechannel, infiniband, and many RDMA protocols, just to make a few, don’t fit in the TCP/IP model, while the OSI model fits them just fine.


Probably around the same time I managed to find a used 386 for sale cheaply, and I bought it. I could play some of the early greats such as Dune 2, Day of the Tentacle, Monkey Island, while others were playing CD ROM games such as Red Alert.
But I didn’t care because I was still having fun, and lack of too many distractions allowed me to dive deeply into the fundamentals. When they moved on to the next cool game, I taught myself turbo Pascal and played with the serial ports and an old AT modem.
A few years later I got myself a 166MHz (MMX!) and got properly online (IRC, ICQ, etc) along with the rest and they had a hard time understanding how I was immediately so much better at understanding “their” stuff from the start than they ever would be.


I never raised any eyebrows at IPs like these in movies and on TV. It’s just internet equivalent of fictitious phone numbers always containing 555.
I’ve used this a lot in the past at work. I see now that it’s discontinued, but I’m sure they have a new thing in its place. tiny, easy to use, and a huge time saver.
