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

@robinadams @bloor I started out calling it "My Squirrel" before I'd ever heard anyone say "sequel," and that is how it will forever be in my head.

"I have to run a squirrel query."

"I'm having trouble running a join on these squirrel tables."

It's objectively better this way.

@robinadams @bloor post-grey squirrel (they're very subtly tinted with color)

@IceWolf @bloor I was imagining sending a grey squirrel through the mail.

@robinadams @bloor Same. I once introduced a dba as “our squirrel wrangler”. Csuite was confused. She thought it was hysterical.

@bloor

The correct pronunciation is "squeal"

@EdCates @robinadams @bloor

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]
