post-Gundam cryptographyyou don't need to care about package managers if your distribution artifact is a single static-linked binary the size of a cat genome

@vyr damn that made me wonder what size a cats genome is and it's quite large huh
@halcy TIL that biologists quote genome sizes in base pairs (
b), which has absolutely no chance of being confused with any other common units of information@vyr it is extremely annoying since apparently they also like to use SI prefixes so it's like "Gb" but that's GIGABASEPAIRS which ????
anyways a cat is 625 megabytes if I understood all of this right. You can just fit a cat on a CD. That's neat, I guess!
@halcy yep! a human genome would need a GD-ROM
@vyr potentially incredible bit: changing all file sizes to be displayed in terms of base pairs and acting like that’s normal
