The labyrinth one is probably my favorite. It’s tough to say a web comic has “timing,” but the way the look on the labyrinth builder’s face hits in the last panel is gold.
Oh man, you’d love this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEfNeUdq_C0
This is why I gave up trying to run my own email server. It became clear it was turning into a racket quite a while ago. I would hear from someone that they didn’t receive an email, so I’d check with their provider and sure enough I’d been blackholed.
I’d go through all the steps to clear everything, re-send the message and it would go. Send a second message and my server was instantly blackholed again for “spamming” or “suspected open relay” or some other reason. All the “Big Guys” as you call them of course carved out exceptions for each other, but no matter how many security signatures or other measures I implemented it was basically an instant lockout.
It got to the point where I was forced to sign on with a “Big” provider for routing.
I wrote a program to figure out what day of the week this landed on (assuming it is in fact October 2nd, 151441).
It’s a Saturday.
Real downer on the start of the weekend.
