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

@bloor

I pronounce it esquel but i can live with Dennis.

[dazzlepansy@glammr.us]

@bloor
Squirrel and Dentist.

@bloor
The reason is of course because there was an old implementation of SQL called "SEQUEL", which is also why HTML is pronounced "HOT METAL".

@bloor Squeal and Dennis sounds like a half-furry buddy cop comedy movie title.

[bondo@mastodon.social]

@bloor Thank you.

[spottyfox@pounced-on.me]

@bloor SQL is clearly pronounced "squirrel"

@bloor @soatok Dennis is propagating ….

@robin @bloor did a short stint to cover when a colleague had an accident. New office install 80% done. Under trained and out of my depth and lacking expertise, but was least worst option at the time (and a loooong time ago ie multiple IDNS lines internet days)
From that experience the next time I ask Dennis nicely and they don't respond I'm for dragging Dennis into the underground carpark and f'ning them up good. Just saying.

@bloor squirrel dens is what I read

[z428@social.lol]

@bloor Of course.

[twinkle@sweet.succubi.services]

@bloor@bloor.tw ask Dennis /ref

[feonixrift@x0r.be]

@DM_Ronin @bloor Totally accepted as new headcanon . But could it be a diminutive form? Surely DNS is only the little snitch; big snitch is BGP.

[toxy@mastodon.acc.sunet.se]

@bloor It’s certainly a menace.

[evilstevie@mastod1.ddns.net]

@bloor close - as a network monkey I can confidently say it's pronounced "denies" because the problem is always DNS

[datguydavid@yiff.life]

@bloor
Rolling with this from now on tbh

[lonewolf225@please.charbroil.me]

@bloor@bloor.tw lmao i tend to personify DNS as either Denise or Dennis

that being said, when i get around to hosting my own authoritative DNS servers, I will be calling them denise and dennis and CNAMEing ns0 and ns1 to them

[lennybacon@infosec.exchange]

@bloor Don’t understand the question
