Yep, autonomous systems. No problems here.

I dunno, I wrote something to spew out some BER code once and it was not a nightmare.

Not at all.

Blink twice if the encoding has your family.

Honestly, I made it look quite elegant if you only looked at the file that *used* the functions and ignored derencode.c

So I see now that my second message may make the first message not look sarcastic. This was not the intent.

Writing code to spew out BER/DER is every bit the nightmare you would think it is.

The fact that I somehow did that while managing to not make me want to go get high or drunk (or both) to forget my troubles should not in any way or form be construed as me thinking BER is great.

At least it wasn't XER 😅
