From [1]. This nomenclature was also used way before CSS even existed; in SQL.

- tantalor 1y agoThat doesn't help at all. What do SQL or CSS have to do with it
- salawat 1y agoMy guess is it is meant tongue-in-cheek seeing as it is a way to render into audio all network traffic. The idea being that if you are being targeted by some nefarious, infamous 3 letter agency who has gotten something nefarious running on your system, this could, in theory, be used to identify traffic you didn't intend to have happen. Realistically speaking, it's hogwash because you'd have to profile all "loopback" traffic and whatnot, but in theory, with enough time and effort, that dastardly stream of bits could be heard, I guess. The circuit board itself though has quite a bit of punning in it. Also... If they really want on your databus, they will get on your databus. After a certain point, cost is not an issue.
