have a UDP joke, but I don't care if you get it

wanna hear a TCP joke?

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Ack

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

network guys have the best connections for these jokes.

Main takeaway: UDP is sexy, TCP not so much. Did I miss anything? 🤔

[–] normalentrance@lemmy.zip 29 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'd tell you a udp joke but you might not get it.

[–] emotional_soup_88@programming.dev 2 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I need to grow up some time. Shoot!

spoilerThat was the joke. Data sent through UDP might be lost in transport and there's no mechanism in the protocol to catch that fault. Whereas TCP does have a way to recover from such an event.

F***!!! You got me GOOD. 🤣

[–] Fmstrat@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

I'm so confused as to if this is a "whoosh" or if I'm the one "whoosh"ing.

TCP is for business (a.k.a. paying your invoice) and UDP is for fun (a.k.a. your voice chat).

[–] luciole@beehaw.org 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

business meetings have entered the chat

[–] death_to_carrots@feddit.org 4 points 2 months ago

Could have been an email.

But... What if I want to pay with my voice?

[–] felbane@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

My voice is my passport. Verify me.

[–] emotional_soup_88@programming.dev 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Send over a cassette tape of you singing Let It Go from Disney's Frozen and I'll get back to you within four to five business months. If you fail verification, you won't be hearing from me.

[–] korazail@lemmy.myserv.one 2 points 2 months ago

I prefer the Demi Lovato version from the end credits. You underestimate my desire to sing Kareoke and my access to cassette tapes.

No shade to Idina Menzel, but Panic! At The Disco did an awesome job with 'Into the Unknown' as well for ending credits for Frozen 2.

Disney Dad's represent.

If we're going to use AI for biometrics, we can make it more fun.

I think TCP is kinda hot too

[–] emotional_soup_88@programming.dev 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

True, yeah, that stateful back and forth communication elevates it to a whole other level. "Harder", "more", "stop it!", "don't!" and so forth.

[–] gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

UDP is bacteria, TCP is eucaryptic cells. More organized, less random stuff floating around.

enables higher levels of organization and more complex systems.

[–] emotional_soup_88@programming.dev 1 points 2 months ago

UDP packets are suicide bombers and TCP packets are undercover operatives.

[–] dan69@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Shutup UDP ur drunk

[–] Thunderwolf@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

UDP by itself has no state management, but some protocols will do state management at higher levels while using UDP as the transport

[–] Scoopta@programming.dev 3 points 2 months ago

Yeah, because ultimately UDP is just IP with ports and a checksum added on top, you can do anything with it you can do with plain IP, including reliable transport.
