Alt text:

If you repeatedly rerun the development of technological civilization, it turns out that for some reason the only constant is that there is always a networking utility called 'netcat', though it does a different thing in each one.

Someone needs to bundle up that network misconfiguration and put it on Steam as an indie game.

Brilliant! You could have an overarching storyline of brief dialogues interrupted by full games of Civilization.

Yes! It could be like Assassin's Creed where most of the story takes place in Civilization, but then there are interludes that take place in the modern world.

Thanks, I really needed it this time.

Apparently this isn't how I do network configuration.
