it seems someone decided to prove you really can just publish any nonsense protocol draft with the IETF https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-meow-mrrp-00.html

@0xabad1dea they didn't even check for typos

[kattebel@hachyderm.io]

@0xabad1dea Woof

[jrf_nl@phpc.social]

@0xabad1dea Also looks like they had a lot of fun creating that

[sergioedup@corteximplant.com]

@0xabad1dea meow-mrrp is an important step to take in online communications!

[david_chisnall@infosec.exchange]

@0xabad1dea This is the most appropriate response to the IPv8 Internet Draft that I've seen.

[ahhhhhhoniichan@snug.moe]

@0xabad1dea What do you mean, that's obviously that most important one

@DJGummikuh @0xabad1dea
That undercover pigeon, masking as a cat.
Clever.

[alivedevil@tauri.earth]

@DJGummikuh @0xabad1dea
Though, there are several occurences of "Moew" that it looks like it is deliberate. Also in the purr-scheme the first 16 sounds are "Meow Mrrp", followed by "Moew Mrrp".

@0xabad1dea best response to IPv8 I've seen yet

[0xabad1dea@infosec.exchange]

if you have no idea what this is about: a very official-looking "IPv8" draft appeared that was an absolute fever dream of and-a-pony wishlist features for a censorious regime, down to using json web tokens at the hardware level for some reason

[pecet@f3d1.eu]

@0xabad1dea Reminds me DougDoug book which I actually own. Still the best YouTuber book

[peetz0r@hsnl.social]

@0xabad1dea This is beautiful

meow

[chickpeapole@mastodon.social]

@0xabad1dea Outrageous! Just because you can't understand cat speak, doesn't mean it's nonsense.

[alivedevil@tauri.earth]

@david_chisnall @0xabad1dea
Oh god. What did I just read.

[owent@mastodon.social]

@0xabad1dea it's honestly taken me a day or so to realise there actually was anything published. I read "IPv8" and dismissed it as an old April Fools' joke

[eragon@pl.eragon.re]

@0xabad1dea@infosec.exchange That's a good draft for the meow protocol in this essay I will translate it in english so that non cat-speaking things can understand it a bit easier.
10000000 words essay
And that's why I disagree with the current state of this draft and suggest the following changes:

1. Mowe, meoww maw prr raw
2. […]
   […]
3. Mraw mreow meww mieow mrawww meow maw mraw prrr

As you can see this draft is quite easy to understand. And it will improves significantly the infodumping capabilities of autistic trans creatures.

[jfparis@rouge.eu.org]

@0xabad1dea That would probably speed up its adoption relative to IPv6

[pete@proe.whimm.ing]

@0xabad1dea This reminds me of the idea that if you transmit not clear voice on some amature radio frequencys you are required to release the protocol.

The joke is the protocal could be “call me and ill give you the password”

[ratsnakegames@mastodon.social]

@owent @0xabad1dea nono, the old april fools joke is IPv9

[mindfuck_inc@mastodon.social]

@DJGummikuh "MOEW" clearly means OPTIONAL
