Although the fact that I've since encoded the "UUID" that this is contained within into other codebases such that Linux can't remove it without breaking some deployed u-boot builds is definitely something I'm proud of.
- Jaruzel 5y agoYour mention of UUID, reminded me that the GUIDs for Microsoft office products in the Windows Registry all end with '0FF1CE' - that's a nice Easter egg I think that doesn't impact anything.
- dspillett 5y agoI use ABAD1DEA somewhere in UUIDs in experiments/examples & proof of concept code/data. And for a while one was floating about in production where it would appear in URLs for anyone who cared to look to see¹, because someone else took a bit of my PoC work and shoved it where it didn't yet belong without review… [1] not just in the middle of a sea of otherwise arbitrary hex either, something like 00000000-0000-ABAD-IDEA-000000000000 so it was easily visible as a “test” value.
