Yes, a comment on his question is what made me look at the Base32 Wikipedia article.
A few weeks ago I saw a question over on reddit where a user was stating that when they used the PiHole Linux distribution as the DHCP client their internet speeds dropped by 25%. Another user mocked him and said it was impossible and received over 60 upvotes. Another 30-40 other reddit users joined in the mockery making fun of the user for believing it was being caused by the PiHole DHCP client.
But because I recently wrote a DHCP client/server I immediately recognized the problem in his logs. DHCP options 24 through 26 are MTU related and has a significant effect on the link speed. Indeed the dhcp client used in PiHole is one of the only dhcp packages that utilized option 24. Most other dhcp clients ignore the MTU option.
My response was buried under 40-50 users mocking the poor guy.
A layperson probably has a hard time finding accurate information. I've noticed that even moderators and site administrators don't seem to recognize true and correct statements from subject-matter experts.

How narrow minded are you. I propose to incorporate the baseball page as well.

That's a great idea. I propose that someone merge Base Running with the Base32 article.

They already say that baseball is the most expensive game, because it's played on diamonds.

Love is the most expensive game. Or, at least, the most expansive.

Nah, it's not the Internet. It's people that are broken. Or just stupid en masse.
The Internet just makes this much, much easier to see than ever before.

Interesting. It appears I have once again re-invented the wheel(*). I needed a quick-and-dirty encoding scheme for some short binary data. I started with A-Z and 0-9, and then removed I, O, 0 (zero), and 1 (one) to bring it down to 32 characters. The result looks an awful lot like Microsoft's scheme for product keys.
(*) Yes, I'm aware of the pun given my last name. Sigh.

I love it when people quote wikipedia at me -- I can simply ignore them because I know they're wrong.
It saves a lot of time in discussion.

Dødheimsgard - Ion Storm[^]
Dødheimsgard is a band I've known for a long time, but never really listened to.
This particular album has been playing once or twice every few years, but I never really could get into it.
Until now that is.
I decided to give it another listen because I was on my bike at night which brought me back to my teenage years when I used to listen to this more often.
And for some reason the pieces fell into place.
It's labeled "avant-garde black metal" so it's kind of an uneasy listen for a genre that's already difficult to listen to 
Anyway, I could get very much into it this week, so SOTW.

Yeah, for some reason I started listening to this and then got into Arcturus (an old favorite), Manes and Ved Buens Ende, the "avant-garde" metallers of yore 
If you like this you'll probably like them too.

For a moment there I was expecting the French black metal band Peste Noire
