> "You know what would really make MySQL pop," said someone on the internet, "is if we launched it with inetd. Well, not inetd, but something almost exactly like it but configured via Windows INI files."
> The Free Software Purity Squad has arrived to lecture us: it is not sufficient for source code to be freely given, no, the people who make it must bow to the Cult of Copyright! There is no indication the speaker intends to explain why all the examples of apostasy are database vendors who got their shit knocked over by better hosting providers.
> Only through flagellating yourself for every typographical error will you become a better typist. People who compliment you are either morons, enemy agents, or sales operatives.
> And, of course, existentialism is a waste of time, since we're all just confused automatons programmed to serve God through His chosen medium, which is 64kb scene demos.
> In this roller-coaster of a talk, the speaker will outline the crippling security failures of current IT-industry darling Kubernetes, then reassures us that these problems do have solutions, only to horrify us again by revealing the solutions start with "shitting arbitrary code into a Turing-complete interpreter in Ring 0."
> The author of curl, Daniel Stenberg, who wrote curl, is so excited to find a country he's allowed into that he takes a break from being the author of curl to tell us about a new version of HTTP, which addresses HTTP/2's "TCP over TCP" problem by migrating to a "TCP over TCP over UDP" model. By formalizing layer violations directly into the protocol, Google can remove any opportunity to interfere with advertising and surveillance, since the application (specified in the standards as Chrome) communicates directly to AdSense without leaking signs of important personal information exfiltration to hostile third parties, such as the user.
