FTP is a friendly transfer protocol that just happens to also transfer files.

When an FTP client connects to an FTP server, they exchange pleasantries, then sit down with each other have rousing discussions about their lives.

Once they're caught up, the client takes the stack of books it was handed by the user and proceeds to have an hour-long discussion about their contents.

The user is later upset because they've discovered those books were actually ZIP archives that were transferred in ASCII mode.

Okay. I should do an #introductions post.

I'm jackyalciné. I work with software a lot. I run often. I cook. I also track a lot of my life digitally. I have more information at jacky.wtf/press/.

I give talks in tech + social justice + Black history (and intersections thereof). I'm from New York, chilling out West now.

I have a habit for breaking things and putting them back together with a test harness. I'm open to banter but only if it's peaceful and for growth.

Hi.

"It sounds like you're being very mean to a cat over here???"

No I'm just, programming

Hi Gang!

It's now 3:45 AM on Wednesday 3 November 1988. I'm tired, so don't believe everything that follows...

Apparently, there is a massive attack on Unix systems going on right now.

I have spoken to systems managers at several computers, on both the east & west coast, and I suspect this may be a system wide problem.

Symptom: hundreds or thousands of jobs start running on a Unix system bringing response to zero.

Systems attacked: Unix systems, 4.3BSD unix & variants (eg: SUNs) any sen

This is a shoutout to everyone who learned French as a direct result of having joined mastodon

good on ya

I'm a bit stressed because my hair is a mess and I want to go to the Hair Salon to get it fixed. My previous hairdresser was very transphobic so I feel a bit uneasy about going to the salon. Specially since I want to request a "feminine" looking haircut. There are no other places close to my home (nor far away tbh with y'all)
