Really cool way of picturing an IP dataframe!

Like if you're dropping it at a post office and praying it'll get to where you need it to, which makes it rather remarkable that it actually does get there.

Yeah but if you tick TCP and pay the extra postage you can get proof of receipt.

Though 'finding' the UDP packet should cost a lot more, because, whoever knows where it is?

TIL my school has blocked mastodon, but not lemmy, X, reddit, or anything else for some reason

Anyways, very funny, tho I dont understand half of it

Maybe they didn't block mastodon but .social domain for "security" reasons, with other less common domain names probably in some black list like .zip.

You can use this form to unblock Mastodon

Can't you just use another instance to unblock Mastodon?

Would be better if it was for a one of the April 1 RFCs, like 1149...

RFC791 is the formalization of IPv4 itself. Which goes back to 1981.

Carriers being attacked by birds of prey. RFC2549: "Unintentional encapsulation in hawks has been known to occur, with decapsulation being messy and the packets mangled."

It's about TCP, lookup TCP packet or TCP header

I don't understand why I'm being downvotes but alright.

The joke is NOT about TCP it's something else entirely

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datagram#Internet_Protocol%3Fwprov=sfla1 it's like meta data on data packets it's lower level then udp and tcp

🤔 this appears to be the outdated version 4 of this form.

@[email protected] I think you misread the original post's title.

[-] [email protected] 20 points 2 weeks ago

Original title is lost packet form, yours is lost package form (emphasis mine).

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

My brain autocorrected so hard I didn't realize it was wrong until this comment.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

That's why the Internet is broken - there's no "Let roommate sign for it" field.

I thought Flash was discontinued in 2020?
