The word "hack" is pre-internet. A "hack" journalist or a "hack job" is basically something unprofessional. It is movies that turned "hackers" into someone that gained access to the "mainframe". In the realm of computer systems, I would argue that a "hack" is doing anything the system was not intended/designed to do. A successful DoS or DDoS needs to find some component of the system that wasn't designed to handle the amount of traffic about to be sent to it.

There are protections for DDoS (iptables, fail2ban, Cloudflare and so on), you have to figure out a way around them, that's a hack.

Yeah, something about this is off. I was thinking that the 74 year old driver was white and a "pillar of the community".

Ah, that's right. Antipasto is Italian or something for first course.

I think I'm an antipastafarian now. What do we worship? Hot dogs? Wikipedia?

You're not far off as it is the second definition of the word. "Vietnam vet" "Gulf war vet" etc.

^This. If you make the effort to call, you are very likely to vote in the next election. You won't be able to talk to your representative directly but the aides will relay the volume of calls coming in to them.

My policy for the last 30 years has been; I shave for weddings and funerals. Worked well so far 👍
