I’ve been creating code around JWT tokens since maybe 2016 and I’ve never once heard that it was pronounced “jot”. Who are the terrorists that keep naming shit like this?

CICS, a major IBM user package from way back, is normally pronounced by saying the acronym letters, but the old school guys say kicks.
Be prepared to read up on a living dinosaur or shark from ancient times still out there. Wiki even has the pronunciation entry.

Yes. Although talking to routers is more a VTAM/Telnet server- TCPIP running under an onboard UNIX VM thing.
Ya VTAM thinks it’s 1983 with proprietary IBM datacomm and they just basically made an onboard UNIX server and ported in all the UNIX stuff. I call it fooling grandpa.

I think you mistakenly hit the “h” key instead of the “t” and the “r” which are diagonally just above and to your left on your keyboard.
Be a bit more careful in future please, or you’ll end up editing as often as i do!

Not the same thrill as manual kill.

That’s all fine to have violent references, but what’s really bad is to call the controlling process “master”.

One of my skill sets is console commands for MCP, master control program. Not the TRON one, the real one for Burroughs.
The virtualization might have happened because of me, as I mentioned the possibility of that to a Burroughs instructor who had a direct line to the system devs.
