If SQL is pronounced "sequel" then surely DNS is pronounced "Dennis"?

It is good however to have a thing when you want to squirrel things away and hide your nuts.

Of course there is the original dataabase...
It's called a hard drive and file system.
files and a partition table, and a dir taable.

[omar@mastodon.bsd.cafe]

@bloor fucking Active Directory.

@robinadams @bloor And PostGIS?

[mathias@pawb.fun]

@bloor if DNIS is "dee-niss", DNS is "dunce"

and it fits innit, it's never DNS, it's never DNS, it's always DNS

[inpc@go.mxtthxw.art]

@bloor it always has been.

That is correct. And stop calling me Shirley.

@mansr @me_ @bloor Meanwhile my father rendered it as "hotmetal." "Hotmeal" would make sense too, though.

@bloor THANKS

@bloor what if SQL is pronounced “squirrel”?

[phlash@mastodon.me.uk]

@dgold @bloor yay! Came here to make this ref and have been beaten to it 😁

[malwareminigun@infosec.exchange]

@bloor The best part about this situation is how one pronounces SQL tells on which database was the first one you were exposed to because the vendors disagree.

Emm Ess Sequel?
My Ess Que Ell?

No idea what Postgres, Oracle, DB2 et al want.

[dave@rascalking.com]

@bloor i'm a fan of "dunce" myself.

[djrndm@chaos.social]

@robinhouston @bloor It's clearly not. If it was, it would be easier for me to keep my focus.

[fraggle@social.coop]

@robin @bloor I'm calling it DNS the Menace from now on

Got the acorns in the back,
nut stack is attached... 🪕 🎶
