Today while training some sysadmins I shared this real photo of ancient Greek engineers configuring a mailserver.
On the left the brave engineer is trying to stop unauthorised pipelining through the MTA as their knee is viciously attacked by a subtly broken DKIM key. Meanwhile, their co-sysadmin is hammering away at a perfectly good Postfix sender restrictions policy, screaming "It's not DNS!", while bitten by a PTR record quietly hissing "It'ssss DNSssss".
Exactly this 💯

@Peternimmo The ECHR was created for a reason. Specifically, it was created in the aftermath of the Second World War, with Britain being very instrumental in its creation, to stop Nazis from happening again.
And those who find they are obstructed by anti-Nazi measures are telling us clearly who they are.
