@thepacketrat Q: Is it just doing a random pick over two arrays full of words?
@kkarhan um, yes.
@kkarhan but they are highly curated arrays.
@thepacketrat Like the codenames for @ubuntu releases?
@kkarhan @ubuntu

@thepacketrat Nondescript Heron is just a guy I met a couple years back in Oakland

@thepacketrat I would have been an β€œUncomfortable Wolverine” if I’d gone to UofMich like the rest of my family. I went elsewhere instead.

Not even gonna comment on the β€œSweaty Beaver” suggestion.

@thepacketrat "Extra-large Mole" sounds like some obscene zero day that's been sitting in plain site that got dogpiled by every script kiddie and state actor on the same day.

So far I've only known the Hiphopopotamus πŸ¦› and Rhymenoceros 🦏 aka Jermaine and Bret.

But this may be because I haven't spend so much time to the cyber security culture opposed to that of weird musicians. πŸ˜„
