Network engineer who uses ISIS as a routing protocol on Huawei equipment. I assume I am on several.

I used to know a guy whose cat had that name. He got a vet bill in the mail, literally addressed to said cat. The FIB showed up a few days later asking some pretty interesting questions.

The feline investigation bureau?

Not to be confused with the Feline Bureau of Investigation.

Criminals get way too much credit in media - most of them get caught because of really dumb mistakes... a fair few simply because of bragging.

The ones who don't make dumb mistakes don't get caught.

I know a dude who has a daughter named ISIS, born before ISIS was a problematic name. Haven’t talked to him in years but I wonder how that’s going.

[–] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 41 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Named Isis rather than ISIS I assume, after the goddess?

[–] squiblet@kbin.social 27 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, good point. It wasn’t in all caps.

Let's hope the NSA systems are case sensitive.
