It's pretty explicit in intent.
Honest Achmed has been one of my favorites for as long as its been around.
Other countries have similar regulatory bodies the certify the use of a medical device.
Hearing aids (and things sold as it) are medical devices.
All of this was because they wanted the critical mass of users and didn't want to work at establishing it themselves at the time.
(The funny part of it being that on the larger channels and networks, Comic chat was completely incapable of handling reasonably the large amount of chat volume in a channel)
Feels very similar where MS' entire philosophy is, if it works for us, we don't care if we spam non-MS people relentlessly.
Course it doesn't work that way, Sys-admins just end up banning/filtering or doing other work arounds to prune it.
At the very least (beyond the extra TCP DNS fields) you need to ignore/drop the two UDP DNS requests the Wii U makes before failing to TCP.
Also "Using gokrazy instead of Ubuntu Server would get rid of a lot of moving parts. The current blocker is that ZFS is not available on gokrazy. Unfortunately that’s not easy to change, in particular also from a licensing perspective."
I don't pretend to get how licensing works, but is OpenZFS and their licensing not an option here? I know its been really tricky with ZFS in general and I don't think its fully answered? but I'm not up to date with it.
Comic chat was a phenomenal pain in the arse in the 90s for any IRC channel :P But it's still such a great and important piece of IRC history as a whole. It's amazing cool to see it open sourced and preserved this way.
It's amazing to see people do a tonne of work to get things like this and 3D Movie Maker - open sourced. I'd never thought I'd see the day!
