Linux sometimes reports a USB peripheral as "Generic Mass Storage Device".
Suddenly strikes me: isn't that a pretty good description of a black hole?
@simontatham or a church ;-)
@demoographics @simontatham I believe that's a mass -delivery- device. Like the postal service. Or a railgun.
@simontatham “trash compactor”
@simontatham Universal Singularity Bus
@simontatham black hole is also a good name for my external backup drive. “Yeah I’ll organize it one day”
@simontatham Especially if it's holographic data storage.
@simontatham Interstellar reference?
