@matigo It sounds like the scope of uniqueness is the server, so reserving those names seems sensible. It definitely does raise an eye relative to UUID/GUID - normally the point of an ID is to be unique, so why throw U in front?
@matigo I have somewhat more hope for Docker containers, VMs, and unikernels. They’ll probably still run. The first two are liable to get pwned if a few years old and exposed to a network, though.
@matigo I did that test once with an old version of VLC. C compilers and assemblers have changed enough over the years that that’s a problem, too. I’ve wound up a big fan of vendoring code dependencies, but that still often leaves little more than a .whateverLanguageRc for the compiler/platform version. Computering has a repeatability problem.
@phoneboy Darn, backseat debugging foiled. Worked about as well as backseat driving TBH. ?

@nitinkhanna It’s even worse with SSO. Banners about reused passwords everywhere, because no-one can agree on the darn username part of the equation. ?
@matigo Microservices! If you like B&I, it’s a fun time. But, yeah - reflexively shying away from monoliths isn’t so great. Tech is stupid trend-focused.
@matigo Millennial here. (Barely.) And yup, enjoying the shift from 50s and 60s to 80s, though I wonder what happened to the 70s in the middle.

@matigo And last Pnut post was 24 Mar. Presumably posting to Pnut is failing entirely due to the image issue?

@hazardwarning Hmm, I haven’t heard that in my American podcasts. My gripes tend to be around long (and soon irrelevant) upcoming events intros and bad Skype audio.
