@preferred Luckily it got saved for the historical record! https://web.archive.org/web/20241213174136/https://www.defense.gov/News/News-Stories/Article/Article/4000004/test/ @misty if.. I were the webdev for such an agency. The obvious choice for test data would be ROT13 of cat-ipsum. @misty I see my sleeper agents (orange cats) have successfully infiltrated (curled up on a DoD press keyboard)! @misty Way back in ~1999, I discovered that exactly one of the root DNS servers was returning incorrect info for the whitehouse.gov domain. I immediately called the WH and described the issue to someone. Aside from relating the story to colleagues over lunch, I pretty much forgot about it. Wish I had documented the details, if only for kicks. For instance, I'd really like to remember how that phone experience went down. Sadly, "real work" pushed it out of my brain pretty quick. @misty@digipres.club That's a lot fewer Ds than I expected for something called the DoD... @misty At least some joker did not use "Let's play Global Thermonuclear War" as the test content. @misty The real problem is that the D key on a computer at the Department of Defense isn't working properly. |
@misty just the *best*
