To you, "WAP" is:

[drahardja@sfba.social]

@neil “The baby internet”

[wifiwits@infosec.exchange]

@neil it’s the first for me, but as someone who works with Wi-Fi, since the release of a certain song, hearing people talk about the placement of WAPs gives me an noticeable twitch.

@Wifiwits Somewhere, I have a vintage promotional Christmas card wishing me a WAPpy Christmas, and it just doesn't feel the same any more.

[freediverx@mastodon.social]

@neil
All of the above?

[lanodan@queer.hacktivis.me]

@neil Oh, I think I always heard of the 2nd one as AP or Wlan-AP/WiFi-AP.

[neil@mastodon.neilzone.co.uk]

@lanodan I guess that it boils down to the same thing!

[dalias@hachyderm.io]

@neil WAF is the British version.

[neil@mastodon.neilzone.co.uk]

@dalias Well that won't confuse any web security people

[webwasp@mas.to]

@neil Web Application Proxy

@neil @rachaelspooky idk, imo the poll is funnier in the indirect way you referenced Cardi B's song lmao!

[neil@mastodon.neilzone.co.uk]

@bc_socials @rachaelspooky That was indeed the plan

[neil@mastodon.neilzone.co.uk]

@Webwasp I've not heard that term before. Is it the new "reverse proxy"?!

[bc_socials@mstdn.party]

@neil @rachaelspooky thought as much. Thanks for the laugh mate lol

[jan@fedi.kcore.org]

@neil This very much shows the age demographic of Mastodon inhabitants

[orva@social.orva.fi]

@neil Please stop tormenting us old people like this!

[lighttheunicorn@lighttheunicorn.horse]

@neil The tiny internet on my ancient phone that liked to absolutely burn through credit like nothing else!

[witewulf@cyberplace.social]

@arakin @neil guilty as charged

[jonpsp@mstdn.social]

@neil WAP is how I used to know when my last train was going to leave when I was in the pub

[almonds@mastodon.mit.edu]

@neil
Since I'm tired, my first thought was "Wide Area Petwork" and my second was "Work And Progress"

@neil wireless-ass pussy
