     @onepict A couple. One was on using the IP "evil bit" to flag NAT traffic. We made FireBrick do that to help. Still has that option. Another was on padding for short Ethernet to use "GNU Terry Pratchett" as the padding data. FireBricks do that even now...

     What was the RFC about?

     @onepict Nice. I have got really close to an RFC in my name. One day. But these are important subjects.

     @onepict I had not read RFC1984, cool.

     There's a couple of human rights based RFCs now.

     I wanted to find a way to talk about mythology, rant about the surveillance happening directly and indirectly through various government acts and our social media.

     #RFC1984 ties these things together really well. We might be a mixture of Brave New World and 1984, there's not a catchy RFC number for brave new world.

     Plus when you read about the clipper chip and the cryptography embargo you get insight into why the IETF and IAB wrote it.

     @onepict Yes, we did that a while, but decided it actually adds overhead. Using in the Ethernet padding was not overhead, but stays for so long in the net, it fitted better, for me.

     Which is how it should be. I like the efforts to implement that in HTTP headers and elsewhere.

     @onepict Yeh, I thought "flagging NAT" was a cool ideas so endpoints can prefer non NAT routes.
     The GNU was a no brainer.

     @onepict And yes, that image was from my LAN with a tcpdump just now. It is all Terry Pratchett on the wire, forever.,

     I never knew about the "evil bit". That's an interesting way to flag NAT traffic.

     The "GNU Terry Pratchett" padding is cool.
