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

@bloor @sonic écureuil, close enough

[frawst@fedi.fraw.st]

@sodiboo@gaysex.cloud @bloor@bloor.tw practically fascism smh

@robinadams @bloor

Don't sweat it. You do you. This world has bigger problems to deal with...sadly.

[almibe@tech.lgbt]

@bloor XSLT?

[mindaslab@mstdn.social]

@bloor ya man! That's so true.

[stellar@mk.absturztau.be]

@bloor@bloor.tw no, its pronounced DeezNutS

[fzer0@nerdculture.de]

@bloor

I pronounce it esquel but i can live with Dennis.

[dazzlepansy@glammr.us]

@bloor
Squirrel and Dentist.

[ddlyh@topspicy.social]

@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.
#what-grudge?

[mamalake@beige.party]

@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
